In the last couple of weeks, we've had a ton going on. My son has baseball games or practices 3-4 times a week; my daughter has music/piano, dance and sewing classes (and wouldn't you know, my son has baseball games every week at the same time as she has music, so I miss all those games ). We had friends over for dinner on Saturday, my daughter & I attended a baby shower on Sunday afternoon, and then our church celebrated Passover Sunday evening. Plus I started painting a wall in my Living Room purple.

We have 12 days of school left! Next month we'll head out for vacation which will include leaving the kids with grandma & grandpa while hubby & I head to Maui for an early 20th anniversary getaway. And on top of everything else, I'm getting ready to launch my new business, 3Rs Travel Club (check it out at www.3rstravelclub.com).

The only way I seem to be able to get everything done is that I've been waking up by 6:00 every morning lately. Not by choice! But if I try to get back to sleep, I always end up more tired for the rest of the day than if I just get up. So I've been getting up early, feeding the dog, spending time reading my Bible and praying, and getting about an hour to work on business things before anyone else stirs. Even though I crash hard after we get the kids to bed, I feel good about life and how much I'm accomplishing each day!
