For Such a Time as Now

April 8, 2009

Full Calendar Update

Life as a missionary in Romania had it own set of stressful situations. We had busy days. But for the most part, whatever was going on, I was at home. The kids were younger. John was at home. We did things - family things, ministry things - together. Now I am a "single mom" whose husband comes home on the weekends. The busy-ness of my life is stressing me out.

Life for the past several months has been a countdown until April 24th - Family Day at the State Police Academy and the end of phase 1 for John. I posted this entry on my other blog a few weeks ago and thought I'd update it here. That blog has issues at the moment. My dad thinks it has to do with a password which sounds rather simple. But it hasn't been a priorty during John's 48 hours at home on weekends.

Here's what is on my calendar. This does not include routine housework, homeschooling and regular activities like church, skating, meal preparation and sleeping.

~~Gabriel's dentist checkup~~
~~Yearbook committee meeting for Hannah~~
~~Dentist appointment for me to get a filling~~
~~American girl party for Holly - Kirsten~~
~~Ultimate blog party~~
My second dentist appointment for a second filling – postponed until June due to busy schedule
~~Gabriel's 18th birthday~~
~~Gabriel's drama performance~~
~~Holly's other book club with some girls from church~~
~~Gabriel and Hannah take the ACT~~
~~Our 22nd wedding anniversary~~
~~Moms' homeschool meeting~~
~~Holly's 11th birthday~~
Easter egg hunt for Holly with our homeschool group - tomorrow

And doesn't this disprove the theory of evolution yet again? Moms would have triple the legs and arms if we adapted to the demands placed on us!

Wow life IS very full. I am noticing a lot of us gals have FULL lives. The schedule of your hubby away during the week. Is that a long term situation ? I somehow missed the details. I pray things come to a healthy balance soon for you. (((HUGS)))

My husband John and I have been married for 22 years as of April 2009. We have 3 children- two teens and a 10 year old and have been homeschooling for most of their lives. After John left the State Police in 1992, we spent 10 years as missionaries to Romania. We returned from the field in March of 2007. John was rehired by the State Police in 2008 and the whole family is very involved in ministering in a new church plant.
