Overwhelmed and under prepared

Exhausted.  Christine and I are mentally and physically exhausted.  Long story short, you know that house we got, well this past Tues our church was looking for a home to host a family of short term (10 day) workers.  For some reason they looked to us.  So we've spent the 4 or 5 or how many days it's been busting our butts that had already been working in overdrive to get all of the house done before the school year kicked off.  The family has arrived and so has a sharp pain in my back.  It feels like a small size bolder or something... too much crown molding and painting along with other lovely house activities.

And to the part about being overwhelmed and under prepared, not the house but joining Facebook.  Oh the dreaded evil that it is.  I've resisted for however long it's been and absolutely loved it, but after a conversation with Eccles (a friend here that heads up most of the middle school youth group stuff) I decided to take a turn for the dark side :).

It wasn't even one of those profound conversations.  I simply realized that state side I don't need to communicate with people through the Face, but here, especially with the youth it's a necessary evil.  Can I say that; "the Face", oh well it sounds good to me.

So now after all that time, I stepped into the new, modern, communicative world of the Face and realized that this machine will endless throw names of people that I supposedly know, which I do, and so now I have to say no... no more friend seeking for tonight.  It's 1 o'clock and I'm tired, overwhelmed and under prepared.

Maybe I should go back where the grass was greener.
