A day in the life......

This  morning starts the day just another day in the life of ... us I got up with the full intetnion of going to the gym at 5:15 am  for spin class but because I went to bed too late the night before it is too hard to get up for that class, because i cannot do anything unless I have brushed my teeth first. This last several months I have felt a little behind the 8 ball and not organized and on top of the things the way I want to be and have to be with the life that we have and with the kid ranging in ages. I so would just love to get my house 100% completely organized so that all it would be is maintenance at that point, you see, we built our beautiful home 3 years ago, and since my husband is and has been in Iraq for the last 6 years , I have had to do pretty much everything, with out him being here including having a power of attorney to close on the house without him.! I also had to find movers and move into the house without him and I had just given birth to our   little boy Roman who is now 3 but who was 3 months old at move in time. My dad and brother came down from Canada to help us get moved in , they even unloaded all of the boxes and put things away, and that was so nice of them but it was put where they thought it should go not necessarily where I would of wanted it to go or needed it to go .Mohamed comes home every six months to see us and we always ahve gigantic plans of things we are going to get done, and they dont get done because when he comes home it is a party and a celebration, so we are out doing all of the fun things we never get to do with daddy because he is gone and needless to say the work in the house that needs to be done doesnt get done, ever, and so has piled up on me! I feel like i cant get it all done, my 3 boys Antonio who is 11, Isaac who is 5 and Roman who is 3 all play sports and have activities ,as well as school and we faithfully attend church so, we are gone to practices during the week, many times at many different locations,so I become a taxi chauffer .then when we are home, we have to finish up homeowrk projects, bathing, and reading books and spending time with God. and  I really believe that kids need alot of sleep so I get them to bed as early as 7:30 on the days we dont have sports and when we do then as soon as we have finished supper, and bathed , so it is non stop at my house until the kids get into bed,then after that it is alwaysmy goal to take a nice relaxing bubble bath and skype with my hubby and just relax before I get to bed knowing that I will hit the ground running in the morning, but I usually have to get the dinner dishes done , backpacks ready for the next day and all lunches made.! I Love my life and I am soo blessed to be able to stay home with my kids and raise them  and deal with the drama of my teen children all the way down to the drama of a strong willed 3 year old. I am just looking to regroup and start fresh in an orderly fashion, with God's help I will get it done!
