Home, Home on the Range

Well, we arrived home safely on Saturday. The house was a mess when we got home because we left in such a hurry. The Christmas tree was still up and there were toys EVERYWHERE!!! We're starting to get the house under control. Trevor cleaned Sunday afternoon while I had a nap. And Brooklyn and I postponed school another day so that we could take down the Christmas decorations. I did print off an earthquake booklet for her to colour and to learn about them. So we'll probably do some of that tomorrow. We also started her chores list and she was really excited about that because she got to put a star on right away for helping me with the decorations.

I'm really looking forward to getting this house under control. I have let it rule me too long and I will put up with it NO longer! I have also decided to stop watching certain TV shows because I know they do effect me a bad way, even if I can't see it right away. So, some I know I'll miss, but others, I don't even care. I really want to spend more time reading my Bible and getting this house organized.

I have also been having some more personal medical problems and will be seeing my doctor on Friday to discuss going on "The Pill". I don't want to, but I don't see much of a choice at this point.

We only have one night left free on the calender this week and I'm not sure how I feel about it. It's nice to get back and see everyone, but getting right back into the swing of things is a bit overwhelming. We'll see how it goes, and hopefully we can tame down next week. But, I am hoping to start going to aqua-size regularly (at least once a week) so that's going to be something to fill up an evening, but I can do it any night of the week. And it is a drop in class, so I don't have to sign up or anything. So... Erin... if you ever want to go with me, I'd love it if you'd come! :) And anyone else who wants to join me can come too... but most of you don't live close enough to come with. :)

sounds like just what I need! My house is still a mess! I can't seem to get much done, I feel very yucky. Maybe aqua size would perk me up, on the down side I'll have to wear a bathing suit! yipe!

I didn't realize you were gone, but I'm glad you all made it back.

I feel the same about a lot of things, like how I spend my "free" time. It's such a struggle because when BB finally goes down, I just want to lay there. I know this time in our lives is short, I just feel like I'm wasting valuable time. I don't spend nearly enough time in the Word either *sigh* and life is only going to get more hectic. I don't know how you do all you do with THREE munchkins.
