From thumb sucking to nail biting

Wow, I have so much to write about. Nathan has graduated from Kindergarten, Kalea had her first trip to the beach (in a swimsuit), we've rotated bedrooms once again, and Steve is doing the wild mad turkey job scramble dance. The problem is that he is on the computer night and day searching for a new job (you wouldn't believe how many ISDs there are in Texas!!), and I will get into trouble if I am caught writing. I can't write well under the dim secret light of the office lamp with my ears listening sharply for the slightest sound of Steve padding down the hall on his velcro like feet. My knee pops when I walk so sneaking up to anyone is completely impossible, but Steve on the other hand, is quite the sneaky one when wearing socks.
So much to write!!! When Nathan started school, he sucked his thumb all of the time. It was a blessing when he taught Kalea when she was only a few months old, but when you're sending your child off to a public school, sending a thumb sucker is like pinning a "kick me" sign to the small child's back. We started making him aware of his addiction the summer before school, but at times of trouble, he would resort back to the comfort of his habit. As school went on, Nathan started a sort of social awareness. When asked to do something silly, Nathan would reply, "noooo, everyone will make fun of me." Even when everyone included just the members of his own family. Thumb sucking soon gave way into nail chewing. Arg, I hear the velcro coming down the hall.... I will try writing again later!!!

Please pray for Steve's job interview on Monday. It is in Waller ISD on the Prairie A&M campus.
