Crazy week!

Well it is just before 1:30am and I am sure by the time I finish typing this entry, it will be close to 1:30 or after. *sigh*


This week has been a whirl wind. Things going good with the family, things going rough with the family ... things going great with me and then of course the things going bad with me. School is slowly ironing itself out. I hope next week will be even better since we have the kids school areas in their room complete. All we have left to do on Bullfrog's room is his closet and the top of his dresser. In Peanut's room, we are hoping to add a bookshelf or two for her books, the text books, and notebooks for 4-H. The kids are real excited about their school areas and hopefully having a designated work area will help them remain focused. At least it couldn't hurt!

This week has also been a week of re-finding myself. Jeremy has been a saint in trying to help me remember that not only am I a mom and wife ... I am a person. I have likes and dislikes. I have wants and needs. I have this knack of putting me on the back burner and constantly putting the kids needs and wants above mine. For the most part, that isn't a problem but after awhile, I do get burned out. I need just some time to myself. Unfortunately, my body decided to force the issue today and my back went out. I couldn't move at all this morning. It took an Aleve and a few hours before I could get my body to limber back up. In that time I talked with my sister-in-law about making fitted pocket diapers, covers, and other fun little things that we can make ourselves. I had this bright idea that I would start it tonight. Well, unfortunately, Monkey must have sensed that idea and just could not be consoled unless in my arms all night. So for tonight I get to stew with all these ideas running through my head. Boo hiss!

Well, Monkey is looking like she is stirring again and so I am going to go touch her to make sure she knows I am still here ... and yes, it is just after 1:30am, which is way too late for me to be up!
