Crazy busy lives

Just wanted to update and say hello to everyone. I feel like my head has been spinning lately as my body is moving at a faster pace than it has in awhile! (let's say 3 years and 3 months as that's how long it's been since I worked "full time" although I will argue that being a stay-at-home mom is harder than ANY "full time" job!) Anywho.....I will now be working 6 days a week, all the while raising my 2 little ducklings. I know, I'm crazy! And Marty is the first to tell me to give something up....not doing this all because we HAVE to, just cause I want to! I'll try it for a couple of months and see, but I'm planning on keeping this schedule at least through this school year. Here's how my "average" week will go: Monday-day of rest (Ha!) or as my friend, Kimberly said, that's "her" day; Tuesday-Friends In Christ (FIC) preschool with Maddie and Isaac in tow from 8:30-2:30; Wednesday-Stonebriar Church (SCC) childcare with Maddie and Isaac again from 9-12; Thursday-FIC w/M & I from 8:30-2:30; Friday-SCC w/M & I from 9-12; Saturdays-old faithful job at vet clinic (without M & I) 7:30-1:30; and last but and least is Sunday-SCC nursery counter with M & I and whole family there 10:45-12:45! Whew!!! I told you I'm crazy! So, this is how it will pan out for now, keeping in mind we live in Plano and 2 of the jobs are north in Frisco and 1 is south in Dallas! I really have a hard time saying no, I've recently learned, but I think it will all pan out. *fingers crossed* If not, well, gotta ask the Lord to show me which one needs to be given up first. Each of these jobs offers me something unique and good. I have made friends at all of them that I would be sad to not be able to see on a weekly basis. Thus, the reason I work all of them! :)

On another note, I met Maddie and Isaac's teachers yesterday at the training FIC offers. Isaac will have Ms. Pat who is a sweetheart 76 year old lady who does the job just to love on those babies! Precious! And Maddie's teacher is Ms. Michell who seems really easygoing (like me) and is ready to take on Maddie and her big personality! I know Maddie will feel welcomed by her and find her sweet and caring as I did. I will post pictures of the first day, which will be Tuesday, 9/2, when I get them. I can't wait! I will be teaching 2 year olds and we have 11 in our class! YIKES!!! :) Luckily, I have a co-teacher that's done this for 3 years. I am excited to get the school year going. Should be an adventure!

Marty is being a dear husband and friend to me through all of this and I can only praise God for that. He is such a faithful and caring person that has stuck by me whatever I choose to take on. Bless his heart! ;) This morning he got up with the kids and let me sleep in (he didn't have to be at work until 1). When I managed to pull myself out of bed, I found him cleaning the refrigerator! Gees! Dear Lord, what did I do to deserve such a wonderful husband? I know I am fortunate to have someone like him. I just pray he sticks by my crazy self and all the adventures I choose to endeavor! He's a keeper to say the least! LOVE YOU BABE!

I promise to update with pictures soon. We are having some glitches with our computer recognizing our camera lately, so hope it works out soon. Gotta get some posted of the first day of school.
