I got an email from Shane yesterday--just said he was in Kuwait waiting for a flight to Afghanistan and that he would be out of communication for a few days. Not much info, but enough that I know he is safe and that's all I need.
The kids and I are doing pretty well. Not a lot exciting going on just normal day to day stuff, but we aren't feeling as much stress right now so that is a good thing.
I'm still thinking on the bedroom/playroom situation for the 3 little kids. I just don't know what I want to do. I really wish we had one more room, but that is not the case. Meghan just really makes things difficult. She is a little messmaker so Katie doesn't like to share with her--of course lately Katie's room is a disaster area too. And Meghan doesn't sleep well so no one else can sleep in her room either--she turns on lights and gets up and plays and stuff. Katie will sleep through anything once she is asleep though so as long as I put Meghan to bed after her it shouldn't be a problem--unless she's really loud which she usually isn't. I don't know if Dillan would sleep through it though. If anyone has any input or ideas, I will certainly take them--what we are doing now just isn't working that well.
My schedule is going much better. I still don't have everything in place yet, but have really been paying attention to my natural tendencies toward how I spend my time--how I should be spending it--and what I need to accomplish each day. Hopefully this weekend I will be able to get caught up on some decluttering in the kids rooms (big part of the problem they have too much stuff) and then that will free me up to do other things I need/want to do this coming week. The big thing that has been making a difference is "forcing" myself up in the morning to do a Bible study first thing. My day goes so much smoother when I start that way--both because of giving the day to God, but also because I am up and ready to start on things before the kids are up. The more I can get done first thing while they are sleeping the better. This morning I even made Oatmeal/Blueberry Muffins for breakfast--they were really good and my kids want them everyday
Well speaking of getting things done, I guess I better quit blogging and go do some stuff--have to go to the commissary for sure--we are out of everything!!
