Crazy Days

Wow, I feel so busy that I really think I just need to slow down. I am so exhausted at the end of the day that all I want to do is just sit in a quite place and not talk. By the evening, I am so tired of noise. My days seem so crazy and I didn't realize how crazy until I told Susie what my schedule was yesterday, here is a taste of it. Now mind, I don't do this every day but quite a few.

My Tuesday schedule:

6:30am wake up, get dressed for gym, make Michael breakfast and get his lunch together, (his dinner also this week since he is in class all week.)
7:00am wake up boys, get them dressed and fed. Backpacks together
7:45am on the road to take Dylan and Dalton to school, head back home once they are dropped off
8:40am Take Dawson to school by 9am and head straight to the gym for workout until 10:20am
10:30am Weight watchers meeting (I LOST 3 MORE POUNDS!!! :) ) Meeting over just after 11am and I had to go straight to the commissary for some groceries. Get that done, get home, take a shower, make and eat lunch, put on make up and blow dry my hair and before I know it, it is....
2:15pm time to get Dalton and Dylan, once they are picked up, it is nearly 3 and we run to the base to check our mail.
3:30pm Pick up Dawson and head home.
3:45pm arrive at home, I have exactly one hour to cut up veggies for a veggie tray and make dip for a meeting, cook dinner for me and the boys, eat and curl my hair. Not sure how I managed to do this, but I did
4:45pm on the road to take Dalton and Dylan to my friends house she is going to take them to Cub Scouts for me since I have a meeting and Michael is in class, and Dawson to Kory's house, she is going to babysit him.
5:00pm Meeting at Michael's commanders house with commander and first shirt.
6:00pm OSS (squadron) meeting/coffee where we go over what is coming up and what needs to be done.
8:00pm start rounding up boys
8:30pm home and it is about 9pm before the boys are put in bed. Then I have to clean the HUGE mess in the kitchen since there is no way I could have squeezed in time to clean it in the hour I had.
9:30pm, I returned my sister-in-law's call, couldn't talk long I was just too wiped out.

I am very thankful that not every day is like that, but I think too many are, tonight was Awana and I love Awana and being a leader but we don't get home until 8:15-8:30 and again, I am sooooo beat. Yet I will be up and at the gym at 5:30am tomorrow, and so the process goes around again. Please just keep me in your prayers, I will be needing them. I will be praying for a nice slow, relaxing, quite day!! :)

Hey Girl....I remember days like that....I choose not to have them anymore. Guess under my circumstances I have realized what is more important to me in life. Not saying that you aren't but, for me I have tried to make my life a lot simpler so I can enjoy it. I will pray that you can have a realzing day soon! Love ya!
