craziness

the craziness is about to begin for this month. jared found out yesterday that he is going to be leaving on the 11th for Louisanna. i think he is excited to go. he knows it will be a lot of work but then again he is a hard worker. so that will leave me without a husband for 10-12 days and leave the kids without a daddy too. we will manage just fine. i have done it before and i can do it again. i am glad that he will get good experience along with good money:) he is going with a good group of guys so i know he will be in good hands! the only thing that stinks is that the next 2 weeks are going to be absoulutely crazy!!!!! while he is gone we will have 3 soccer practices, 2 soccer games, 1 flag football game, 2 nights of sonlight, numerous nights of getting ready for our garage sale, garage sale, homecoming, relay for life and 5-6 times of curves! whew...... it is so funny how you take someone (like your husband) for granted and then when he is going to be gone you wonder how in the world you will be everywhere you need to be and get everything done!

i leave on monday for kansas city. i won't be home until wednesday late afternoon. then jared will leave on thursday. he was going to go with me but decided to stay home and spend some time with the boys before he leaves. i don't blame him for that.

tonight we are headed to kirksville to get jared some essentials for his upcoming trip then back to queen city for the football game. tomorrow we have a birthday party and several other little things we need to get done. sunday i am going to the christian church with andrea as her "friend" b/c it is "friend day". i am excited to try her church. i have just started helping at sonlight and really like the programs that they offer to the kids. so hopefully the kids will like it too and maybe we will become members someday.

hope everyone has a good weekend. i plan on sleeping in this weekend. if i wake up before 5 like i have the last 2 mornings i am going to scream, ok maybe i won't scream b/c i really don't wanna wake the kids, but i will be very frustrated. i never would have thought i would be an early riser like this. i never could understand why my grandpa got up so stinking early, but now i can understand it a little better. speaking of sleeping, the following picture was of braylon last weekend when he was so tired he couldn't make it past the laundry room. he fell asleep on the way home from town (2 minutes) and when i carried him in the house he woke up so i set him down and then he crawled up on the bench, stuck his thumb in his mouth and fell back asleep. i thought it was so cute that i left him there but when jared got home he thought he needed to be in bed so he wouldn't fall off and get hurt. dads!!! geez!
