Dear King of Bookworms,
I've tried to call you several times to tell you that the dryer won't stop running unless the door is open, but the nice lady who answers says that your number has been disconnected.
Would you please look into this - the phone, that is, because since you aren't in the office today, it would be nice to know that I could contact you in a emergency or to remind you that Bookworm #2 and I need to be at Awanas at 6, so dinner will be at 5pm tonight - though I would like your permission to call The Appliance Guy about the dryer - the whole dryer problem frustrates me because six weeks ago, when the troublesome washer died and the wonderful, never-gives-us-a-problem dryer was dutifully spinning when asked and resting when it wasn't needed, we could have purchased the dryer to match the washer for $500 more than we paid for just the washer, and because we didn't, and now, if The Appliance Guy can't fix the dryer, we'll have to pay $800 for the same dryer we could have gotten for $500 six weeks ago - not that we had the $800 or the $500, but at least we wouldn't have to worry about the house burning down because someone forgot to leave the dryer OPEN. So, can I please pray that The Appliance Guy can fix the dryer cheaply (like under $100) and then call him to come fix it?
Of course, right now the dryer is supposed to be running because it is full of fluffy clean diapers. And then it can run for another 40 minutes to fluff up our nice clean clothes. It's a regular Fluff and Fold in our house today.
The sweet baby just smiled at me, and I know that you will still come home for dinner at 5pm in spite of this email (which is about to become, with your permission, a blog post that will cause moms to smile because they have been there and done that) and just knowing you'll come home makes me swoon.
I love you very, very much.

awwwwwwww "Just another day in Paradise"
I'm trying to drop in on everyone who signed up for the Fall Bible Study Giveaway. Thank you for participating. I'm sorry I didn't have a book for everyone!
We will start the study next week. I plan a preview post this Wednesday.
Hope you will join us in the study!
I see, in your comment, that you are starting this study today. I have tried to get a head start on it this week and I'm really enjoying it!
Hey You!
Just wanted to stop in and say hello.
Hope you are having a great week.
I read this a few days ago - Love it! I didn't have your email so I figured I'd thank you for your encouragement here. :)
I actually did the Believing God study this past year - you are exactly right - I needed that reminder. We are waiting on His time and His plan - learning to wait well.
