Catching up.....

As usual, I've let time get away from me and here it is nearly the middle of April. The honey has started his new job so we are leanring and adjusting to the new schedule. It's all good except the mornings the alarm screams at 4am. UGH. Yes, several mornings he has gotten up at 4a to be there by 5am. Long days but at least he gets to come home at night. So much different from the previous employer. His days off don't/won't always coincide with mine but we will manage. After the past year this change is nothing!

Both spring and Easter break have come and gone so now the weeks stretch out ahead. The crazy, busy weeks are ahead. I've been working on set up for fall and getting things in order where that is concerned. Thanks to the Department of
Education it's more intense and detailed than previous years. I would like to think of it as job security but in today's economy, I'm not sure such a thing exists any longer.

We've been in the house eight months now and I am ashamed to say there are still boxes and such everywhere. I don't think any one room has been completely unpacked and set up. The main thing that says is there are lots of things I can live without since I have been doing so. Certainly time to make donations.

I am still working on Project Life which is a major accomplishment. I admit to being a bit behind but not too terribly so. Most of what is missing at this point is journaling. Every day I think when I get home I will work on it but then I fix dinner, clean up and poof it's time for bed. Then get up and do it all again. Ideally I could/should be working on it in the mornings between the honey going to work and my going in. I love my sleep more.

I don't know that I'll ever be a morning person. It's just not in my nature. I'd rather stay up half the night and then sleep in the morning. Works fine on weekends but come Monday it's hell. By the end of the week it really catches up with me. Don't think this old dog can learn that new trick!
