Dark energy -- is it in my house?

I think Dark Energy lives in my three kids . . .

At the human scale, dark energy is imperceptibly weak. But even the weakest of forces can add up to something powerful when the scale becomes cosmic, and all that vast, empty space between the galaxies is thrown into the mix.


For example, when I ask them to do their chores, they say, they can't, they're "too tired," "too exhausted from the day." Weak excuses -- which lead to the powerfully bad mess in my house.

Dark energy is something you and Dan can discuss too -- I predict the discussion will go as follows, "Well, Dad, as everyone knows . . . " Ha.

  1. We need an Our Mom is in Arlington blog. Julie is a full time graduate student. She has to deal with 3 kids, each going to different schools in different parts of the county. All three kids have different music and choir schedules at church and different church activities. Julie's dealing with our house construction - and the attorneys dealing with our prior contractor. She handles the finances, pays the bills, makes sure the kids are fed and clothed, does student teaching on the side (when????) and is a good neighbor in the community. Every day she makes sure she calls me and checks in on me. And she even set up this blog (in her spare time)... She is the best wife in the world and the best Mom in the world. I love you, Pooh
