Dancing in the rain
October 12, 2015
We are into our third week of school for Ainsley and the fourth (is that true?!) week of school for Natalie. September is going, going, and (almost) gone. Some have asked what our new schedule is and how I fit in my hospital visits between running the girls to school and ballet. So, here is a sample week:

Leighann it is a good thing you are young, so that you can keep up that hectic pace,…bless your heart. I know this has been a very long journey and such a hard time of your life. I pray for you sweet friend…and for your family, and of course for little Ryan. He is a true miracle.
I am so glad that people are continuing to minister to you by bringing meals. I hope that love and care continues. It reminds me of the people who ministered to our family the three times we lost our grandchildren.
Life is hard, yet God is always good, and I praise Him.

i loved reading your schedule. (but we know what a freak i am about schedules :-)) you are just doing so great. making time for everyone…including yourself! wise woman!!!
On top of my game?? Anyone who knows me, knows I’m usually a few steps behind in the game…haha! I just try to keep my head above water usually. And keep my sanity while I’m at it. God blessed you with organizational skills that I only dream about. I’m glad that you have things organized, Leighann. You have a very busy schedule, and I pray it gets a little easier for you all soon. Love and hugs…

You’re amazing Leighann! Keep up the good work! 🙂 Will continue to pray 4 u and your family.
What I do is similar to what you do, I make “to-do-lists” for the week of the major events I know are happening that week, I plan ahead with what I will wear to work for the week and lay them out, I have my work bag & purse by the chair, keys laid out ready to go in the morning! Awesomeness! 🙂
Great job Leighann, I love schedules although somehow I don’t do so well keeping them but life is so much easier when we do stick to one. It’s hard to make time for everyone and you are managing, thanks for sharing, continual prayers going your way.
wow, crazy times….
You are just an amazing person!!! I cant believe how planned out everything is and that you guys are able to follow it!!!

There is no way I could go to bed at midnight and get up at 6! *bows*
And the pumping thing… I wonder if you have any idea how huge this is: how many moms don’t make it this long, how hard it is to maintain a milk supply when you don’t have a baby to actually put to the breast. I know first hand how time consuming it is. Thanks to a crappy pump I only lasted a month and if I *had* lasted longer I eventually would have been able to nurse her because she did eventually develop the rooting and latching on reflex. Keep up the good work! There are few things Ryan needs more than that milk!
I enjoy scheduling as well! My tricks of the trade are Mangers of their Homes by the Maxwells , and donnayoung.org. She has a great lists! Monthly planners for homeschooling and household planning. It has been a life saver for me. I also have a chore chart for the girls. Velcro strips that have things like brush teeth, hair , help with laundry, make bed. Organized Home is also a good tool, but Donna Young has been more resourceful for me. Have a great day!
I feel exhausted just reading your schedule! Continue to pray for you!
