My hubby left on Monday and is back "home" in Iraq.  We had a great visit.  Did a little bit of everything, yard work, traveling, watching TV, snuggling, time with the kiddos, time alone, talking listening, and lots of eating!  Reconnecting with my best friend was amazing.

Now I am left with the warm fuzzy memories...and...a messy house (because we didn't want to waste precious time cleaning!), unfinished projects (just ran out of time), too many kid activities ( its that time of the year), too many volunteer projects (just can't say no), a mountain of laundry, a huge Visa bill (but we had FUN!), kiddos who are missing dad, and want to talk, talk, talk, and about 5 extra pounds (did I mention we ate a lot?).

Add to all of this, my inlaws are coming in tomorrow for a visit and Mother's Day. 

ITS JUST TOO MUCH!!!!!

Ah, there now, I feel better.   It will all get done.  I will make a list, prioritze, and knock out the tasks.

 -messy house, clean what I can tomorrow, don't worry about deep cleaning

-unfinished projects - one at a time

-kid activities - find carpools. write everything on the calendar  - say no

Volunteer - do what I really enjoy, pass on the others - ask for help

laundry - tackle it one load at a time

Visa bill - quit spending!  Pay off as quickly as possible

Kiddos - make time to listen 

Weight - work out more, eat less. 

I just have so much I want to do!  I really enjoy all of my volunteer stuff, and I enjoy my in laws and my kids.  I have so many things that I am excited about doing!  I need more time in the day!
