"I'd Rather Be Reading a Book"

When DH said that to me in a phone call from work, I snorted (how attractive), "Wouldn't we all?" I'm not too sure what he thinks I get to do all day, but in the last week, he's read 4 books and I've read 1. Me, I've been trying to persuade our daughter, Bluejay, that it's worthwhile to actually understand algebra, as compared to just going through the motions (what would I know, I'm just a homeschooling mom, lol). Still, I will admit that my job-as-mom has more variety and drama to it than DH's current task of creating spreadsheets for work (yawn). Though I'm not too sure that creating a dinner menu is lots more entertaining.

DD, Jem, is in the kitchen making pineapple upside-down cake out of boredom (never tasted boredom before, I wonder what flavor it is), but we'll probably have it for Family Home Evening refreshments tonight unless our son, T-rex, who's really in charge of treats tonight, decides otherwise. Dr. Laura is playing on the radio in the back-ground and the kids are laughing when people call in with basic moral questions. They have been raised to live a high moral standard, so they get a little astonished and incredulous sometimes when adults call up asking about "obvious" dilemmas.
