I am still alive. I think. Just pinched myself to make sure.
Ouch.
Yep, still here.
Not sure if that makes me happy or not - I'm ready for Jesus to come back any time now...
My days lately are consisting of putting out one fire after another - either because of a lack of planning on my part or things that pop up that "have to get done today." I'm be-bopping between wrestling practices, cement board cutting, cooking, cleaning, laundry, home-school, knitting hats, mailing hats, trying to be a good wife, trying to be a good friend on facebook and grocery shopping. I occasionally get a shower in there somewhere.
Last Sunday I noticed that all three kids were wearing clothes that were at least a size too small - slightly embarrassing (for me, not them - they're boys. They could care less if something doesn't fit as long as it doesn't hurt.) So, have to add that to my five-mile-long TO-DO list. Sort through clothes in four different dressers.
Sometime this week I have to figure out what I'm going to order/buy at the annual MACHE (homeschool) convention on Friday, finish a preemie hat, get overdue books to the library, finish taxes (grrr!), drive to Thing #1's writing class, two or three wrestling practices (for the boys, not me), edit hubby's resume, make eight meals, keep myself from nibbling on frozen cookie dough, finish a newsletter and start designing a new one, write up a knitting pattern for a felted purse, not to mention the bathroom that just won't go away.... Sigh.
Let everything that has breath praise the Lord... What do you do if you can't catch your breath?

Just trust that the Holy Spirit is interceding for you. :)
Hang on for the ride. By God's grace, you'll make it through.
Leave the outgrown clothes where they are. They'll need summer clothes in a month or so. And then it won't matter if the sleeves are too short. :)
Garage sales: here we come!!
thanks hannah - i needed that! now, what do i do about easter sunday and just realizing that all the boys need haircuts? buzz cuts? ;)
well, you still have a week before Easter Sunday ... so there's time. Buzz cuts would be the quickest, but my boys (for the moment) don't like them. I guess you need to make a "rule" like we have ... I take care of the girl's heads & Bruce does the boys. :) That should work in your favor!
oh my I can SO relate!! Life is crazy over here too...no time to breath!! Looks like you survived your week and lived to tell about it:)!
