I'm no good at catchy subject lines

So don't expect to get any from me. I'll do the best I can.
Today was very quiet at work. Sometimes that's a welcome break, but mostly I wish that there was a little more to do.
Thanks, Nicole, for correcting me on the number of children born in 2002. I don't know what I was thinking. Probably that the two nieces I forgot were born in 2003. Sorry about that!
Last night I attended an Enrichment meeting about self-defense with my mom-in-law Barb and two sisters-in-law, Britt and Candyce. I learned some cool moves, but I don't think I ever quite worked up enough anger to make my punches very meaningful. There was a guy from the sherriff's office there and he had some pads that we had to practice punching. It was probably a good thing to learn, though one hopes it is knowledge that never needs to be used.
Tomorrow is Zak's final, so tonight we are studying. Translation: tonight Zak is studying and Sarah is watching a movie. Then school is out for three weeks. Hooray!
I've been reading a book called The Two-Income Trap. Its basic premise is that most people who have children and are middle class will go bankrupt, simply because they have children. After the first two chapters, I decided to stop reading. It's kind of a hopeless outlook that's being presented, and since I don't agree with the main idea, I ceased and desisted. Back to the Wheel of Time series, I think. That's fantasy...much better than economics!
I hope this blog is worth the time spent writing and reading it. I struggle a little with what to write, but I usually just let my fingers do the walking and something ends up published. It's not usually very good or very interesting, but whatever. C'est la vie. More later!
