Crazy Life

Our lives have been a little crazy lately. Jim has been working both Australia and Nigeria hours. This means that he has been getting maybe about 6 hours of sleep..during our daytime and works all night. This also means that I'm pretty much a single mom. Just when we thought it was over, it wasn't. But, we are seeing a light at the end of the tunnel. Note: he leaves for Australia in 10 days and will be gone for about 2 1/2 weeks. For some insane reason, I decided that this would be a great time to create my craft room which would not only house my desk for my own crafts, but a new storage unit for my supply overflow and the kids' crafts, and a table where the kids can create. I'll post pictures when it's all finished. We're also in the middle of moving Rainey Jewel in with Jacob (she sleeps on his floor anyway) and turning her room into a play room. And, we're transitioning Larkin from her crib to a big bed. Life has been crazy and my house is a mess. Those are 2 factors that would drive any woman insane. On top of that, I've got my race that I'm training for (12 woman 196 miles relay race from San Antonio to Austin) that is quickly approaching. And now I've realized that Jim will be out of town for my last week of training and for the race itself.....nice. What's girl to do? Shop! What else? Tomorrow, I'm leaving my house 'as is' and taking the girls shopping. In my de-cluttering and organizing, it has come to my attention that my kids need new clothes. With the new fall season and my kids growing like the little weeds that they are, they have nothing to wear. This is a problem that I love to remedy.
