Pandemonium around here

Yes, that's it. Pandemonium is the best way to describe it. Tuesdays in this house are flat out. Michele has preschool and Mrs Boss Lady has KYB. Preschool starts at 9:30 and KYB at 10 o'clock. On the weeks I am on late's I am the taxi. On the week I am on early KYB doesn't happen. It's too much of a rush. KYB doesn't finish until 11:15 and Michele finishes preschool at 11:30. It takes 20 minutes to get from KYB to preschool in good traffic.
Any way this morning was "interesting". Cathy, also known as DD2 amongst other things I am not permitted to say here, and I decided to play on the change table and the floor and Michele bed. Some people, the wife for example, take 5 minutes to change a diaper and dress a child. Not so this person. Well, I mean to say I ask you, how can possible have fun with a 14 week old in 5 minutes? It just isn't possible. First there is the mandatory conversation which goes on for at least 10 minutes. That is usually followed by a raspberry blowing competition. Of course then there is the coughing thingy. I do keep telling her that cough is not good. Sounds like she has been smoking and smoking is clearly not good for ones health. Of course hiccups are a sign of drinking and that is a sign of loose living. And that is just for starters. Then there is the training. Did I hear you say you can't train a 14 week old? Rubbish and balderdash! You can start training a 12 month old 12 months before their 1st birthday! And it pays off later. Training is the most important part of child rearing after blowing raspberries and discussion of generally, in the wife's opinion, of other equally useless rubbish. We have trained Cathy to keep her legs down. Yes, it has taken ages, but she can and will do it. She has to be constantly reminded each diaper change, although this morning all I did was ask her to put her legs down and she did it.
Now where was I? Oh, yes, our mad house. Well, while all this was going on, Michele and Mum had their breakfast. By the time Michele had finished her breakfast I had actually changed Cathy's diaper. However the appearance of Michele led to a tickling competition which resulted in much squealing on her part and many grumblings form the kitchen about people who take all day to do anything and then wonder why they never get anything done. Well eventually I did get Cathy dressed, Michele with her shoes and socks on and more tickling and blowing of raspberries and other thing. I take Michele to preschool and arrive home to find wifey in a flap because she has lost her cane, do I kn0w where it is "can you look here and there and everywhere all in 5 minutes coz the taxi will be here and I have to check on Cathy and did Michele get to preschool and how come your not helping there today coz they are short of a helper and where is my stick I can't find it any where!" Phew!
Well. Michele is at preschool, the wifey and Cathy are at KYB and here sit I typing this lot of dribble!
When I told Stephanie that I wasn't going to put my notes from yesterday's St Luke's Bible reading in here she said I should. One should always listen to the wife!
So, at her request:

Monday 11Th June 2007: Ezekiel 20
Key verse: verse 3. There comes a time when God says enough. A bit like a parent with an unruly child. There has to be a change. And sometimes isolation is the only answer. Note again verse 31. It says a similar thing. Look at verse 39. It also is important. Many are those who give up on the Old Testament because it is full of "doom and gloom". And in many ways it is very sad. A record of man's disobedience. But more importantly, it is a record of God's unfailing love to and for all of us. Are we, the Church, so different? We too have our "idols" of worship. We to some times refuse to "hear" what God is trying to tell us. At what point will God say to us "Enough!" As I sit here thinking on this verse it occurs to me that Israel's problem wasn't that they didn't/couldn't/wouldn't obey God. No, no, that is not the problem. You see, they are actually doing exactly what God knows they will do. No, their failure isn't in failing. Their failure is to fail to acknowledge that they can't obey God. We are exactly the same today. We can clean ourselves up on the outside, but only Christ can clean us up on the inside. And He does that by putting to death our old man and giving us Himself in place. First we have to admit that we can't and that only He can! "Old things pass away, behold, all things are new" or something like that. Some one care to post the correct verse?
