Daniel and Rachel Battle

I have been yelling at Daniel more than usual. He says that I am angry all the time, which has some truth. I have been more frustrated with the state of our home more lately. Little beard clippings on the sink that get everywhere, the pile of sox under his desk, the clothes that he leaves in the middle of the bathroom or the clothes on the bathroom floor, the "waiting to put away food until I am done eating it" and then getting tired and taking a nap and forgetting when he wakes up and then when I insist that he at least put things away, he has excuse after excuse. "Cleaning makes me tired." I reply that a messy house make me angry, so really it is all his fault that I am angry at home. I am not angry all the time.

I have been threatening Daniel that I want to move out, but we agreed that I ought to stay until the lease is up in October. I am trying from moving from anger to learning patience. I think Cathy is probably facing similar problems. She has said to me several times that God had her marry Dad to teach her patience. I am also breaking my rule about not saying critical things on our blog about the other person.

School is tiring - procrastinate and then stay up late and I have some annoying students. Oh the joys of teaching! This better get better in a couple years or I quit. I do like thinking about the great things that I am teaching them and the possibility of bringing them closer to Christ. I also have some truly wonderful students and good days. It does seem like more bad days than good however.

Thanks those of you who do post, I do read them and they are good!
