Home Work!

Okay so not school homework...I actually don't have much of that for the next 9 days or so.  I worked at home today for ten hours.  It was really productive actually.  I was able to avoid the 40 minute or more commute and just work during that time. 
 
Today I read for hours.  Unfortunately it wasn't fun cute little novels about furry bunnys or things you would want to read about.  It was all about the technicle side of chemistry of elements in sediment within rivers.  I am often surprised by the range of work that is out there as well as the lack of depth in areas that you have a question about (that is typical it seems when you are trying to solve scientific problems and questions).
 
At the end of the day I was able to spend a while editing pictures and make some serious progress on getting things online.  Anyway, it was going good.  I wish I could spend more time on this only.  I guess that is what we all want though, time to spend endlessly on our hobbies and dreams...
 
We had our friends over tonight, the Allards.  They are fun to hang out with and play games.  Jennifer was baptized a while ago, and she is doing well.  Robby is having a hard time with keeping up with work and the bills.  I guess he just hasn't ever really had to support a family and a specifcally a baby.  The hard thing is that he has a difficult time being consistent and working hard.  So that makes it hard for him to get a good job, and pay the bills.  Things are even harder because he doesn't help around home at all, or with the baby (I think they have trained her to be pretty high maintanence, to a point.  I guess we have trained our kids to not be high maintanence).  I guess today they have only a few daipers for the baby left.  So they are going to ask for help instead of trying to solve the problem themselves.  It seems to me that I would just go out and try and solve the problem myself.  
 
Anyway, I won't dwell on that.  I have tried to help people before and giving them what they need temporally has never really benefitted them.  That is the hard thing for me.  I see what they want and I often see what they really need (in this case maybe some more stability and work ethic, I could be wrong though I don't know the situation...). 
 
That is all for tonight, I am not even writing about what I thought I might.  The funny thing is now I can't even remember what I was going to write about...
