The kids are in VBS every morning this week. That means I have exactly 15 hours to complete a list as long as my arm. And hopefully not waste the time by sleeping my mornings away as I have been doing! This morning is a list of calls, but I also hope to be organizing some trouble spots in our home this week…. we’ll see how that goes! I’m hoping, too, that the kids will have fun of course.
But first, a cup of tea.

I wish I was there to help! I am tired of my house … SO wish you were still here so we could trade AND so I could take care of that adorable baby coming to give you some time for yourself too!!
David is leaving for Bagdad for a year a week from this Friday so this week they come for Air Frieght and next week (just before the girls head to camp for the week), he leaves! I told my Mom it is either going to be a lot harder OR a lot easier than I think … we’ll see!
Moving my oldest, Caitlyn back into VCU is going to be the first big job, after that I can relax a little and just worry about the younger two!
Do you have someone you can trade organizing/decluttering with up there? If not, I will pray you find someone!
Hugs, Joellyn (and girls, Caitlyn, Courtney and Corinne who still remember playing with YOUR girls and thinking they were SO cute and funny!)
IF you are ever in the area and need a sitter for a day or a couple of hours so you can get together with your adult friends, PLEASE keep us in mind! We would love to watch you kids again!!
I also think maybe one day (at least) you *should* give yourself permission to just sleep the morning away! You will be surprised what you get done the rest of the day AND how much nicer you will be!!
Sleep always wins with me because then I am a better/nicer Mother AND Wife!!
Enjoy the quiet…

Your body is needing the rest so you need to quit worrying about or feeling bad because you have been sleeping in. You are giving that sweet babe just what he/she needs. Had I realized how quickly time was going to pass, I would have spent more time with my kids and less time on what I thought – needed to be done. Have a great day.
