It's Only Tuesday?
Wow- I had forgotten how hectic school days can be. Now that Annelise is going every day I am really getting a clear picture of what the next 8 months are going to be like! (Thank goodness for holidays....) Being a night owl my entire life, it is especially difficult for me to get up with the chickens, around 6:10 am, and even more difficult to actually function at that time of day - much less get 2 other humans dressed and hair fixed and fed. I have tried to go to bed the past 2 nights by 10:30 pm (very early for me), but I don't actually fall asleep until about midnight or so. It is 2 pm now and I could go to sleep for days. But I am afraid if I take a nap, it will be even harder for me to go to sleep at night. Alas, such is school day life. Tonight we have to go to the house we are selling and show the soon-to-be owners how to work everything. Then tommorrow night Brian has to stay at work for a few extra hours to train on the new computer system. Thursday night, he has his weekly Bible study from about 8 pm- 11pm. Then the week is already over and after a short while it is Monday again. Every time I think life is going to slow down I find out that I am sadly mistaken! But, I can't complain- it is a good life. Tommorrow both girls will go to school, so I am going to meet one of the other mothers at Barnes and Noble for coffee right after we drop off the kids. I haven't seen her all Summer, and she is really a neat person so I am looking forward to that. (Even though I really need to be here cleaning the house.) I know I have it made, so I can't whine too much. I just hope my body will adjust to this early morning stuff 5 days a week.

My heart's really breaking for you.-M
Cry baby
Hey- you two could both work part-time and stay at home with your kids more if you wanted to. If it is so great, why don't you try it? That's what I thought! Thank you very much.....
