Drive-By Media
The drive-by media got theirs...again. How long before they quit trying to smear people just for ratings? How long before they quit trying to indoctrinate us and push their agenda on us?

Ramblings
Here is a little bit of everything...
We have two deer in the freezer! Yay! We gave the third one away. Part of the joy of deer hunting is sharing what you get with friends and family so that they can enjoy it, too. It's a blessing.
We had a couple of calm weeks with not much running, but that all changed (again) and we've been running around again. All those ankle-biter appointments, errands (some self imposed, some imposed by DH), family get-togethers...it all adds up. Everything we did had importance attached to it, but it is still a major burn out instigator.
The girls' learning is coming along beautifully. I love being their teacher! Everything we do in learning brings me joy. If they aren't joyful about it, then I adjust my approach until they get excited about it, too. I don't like force feeding them anything that they aren't happy with it...but it's amazing how sugar coating something and making it taste like candy suddenly makes it a big treat. I never learned psychological warfare when I was in the army, but I sure learned it as a commander! :) Some of my soldiers were just big kids, after all. :)
Another two weeks of running and all should be calm again, but then that gets us right into the Christmas season. No one is ever busy at Christmas, right?
