Very Quick Post

OK...it's 9:30 and I am finally done with all of the school work and tasks for the day...except making bottles...but we'll let Cody handle that one.

Today was a rough and long day. I left early to get things that I had left undone on Friday...leaving with Cameron giving me the sweetest smack on the lips...so...yes...I left crying, which is not an unusual was to start my day! We had a meeting until 5:00, so I didn't get home until dark. Then started the dinner making and so on. So, how much time did I have with the kids???...oh...about thirty minutes. Sooo....you can imagine that I am not in the best of moods.

To top things off, Cody asks me, "Why do you have to be like that...always negative???" Geez...I WONDER.

I know that I should be counting my blessings...and I do...but I must admit that lately I am a bitter soul. I pray often for the Lord to help me with this, but it always seem that I end the day mad at the world.

I'm tired, bitter, and...well...longing for things that I can't have.

Due Date is In!!!

Oh, well! Let's face it! I am not going to be great at blogging anymore. This month has been so very hectic!!! I have had numerous parent conferences, staff meetings, and, well, there has to be time for family!!!

That is what is mostly on my mind these days. Time for family...doesn't seem like there is enough time in the day. Right now, the kids are with Cody's parents. This has become a Friday night ritual. They let the kiddos spend the night so we can get some sleep. Then, on Saturday morning, we jump up and clean house and rush to get them. We don't get that much rest, but we are so very thankful for what we get!!!

Anyway...I digress...time for family. Let's see...I leave for work early in the morning...sometimes I get to see the kids and sometimes I don't. I usually get home late. I run in, say my hellos, hit the kitchen, cook, and then clean up dinner. That doesn't leave me much time with the kids...which I am becoming very frustrated with. Now, don't think I am this wonder mom....what I come in and cook is not grand...BUT...the kids are now eating table food, and I HAVE to come in and cook something...instant potatoes...WHATEVER. After dinner, Cody and I take turns taking showers before we put the kids to bed...because after we put them down we have bottles AND my school work to do. So...there is never ANY time. I am so stinkin' tired!!!...of everything. I've become a rather glum individual!!!

On the bright side, we have a very healthy 19 week baby in the oven!!! Everything is looking great!!! We have even scheduled a delivery date. There will be NO guessing when this baby will arrive! April 4th is the date...rather ironic since my sister and niece already share this same birthday!!! This will be my first day of spring break. We are excited...but I am very nervous as how we are to manage...physically, mentally, financially. Times are tough...ugh...I sound like a grandma!!!

So, I am vowing to try to do better with this blogging thing!!! Until next time...
