I want to be a blogger; I really do. Life just gets going so fast days and then weeks go by with such a blur that stopping to record it seems…time consuming. With so much of my time consumed by stuff that either, my kids, my husband, my boss- or my bosses boss deem essential and urgent well I am so worn out I fall into bed each night and am too worn down to even relive my day. I have been especially enjoying my daily bible reading and prayer time though so at least there is that.

Life for me seems to run only at 2 speeds- fast and super-fast. Well I am afraid it is about to bump into another category altogether. Our Officers have been transferred to another Corps their last Sunday will be April 26th, our new officers will not arrive until July 6th! We will have the Metro Coordinators preaching on Sundays but all other responsibilities will have to be handled by myself and our secretary. I am seriously so overwhelmed just thinking about it that I try not to think about it at all. I have tried to work on a strategic plan with our officers to prepare but so far have had little success connecting with them on this!

In preparations for the next few months of total chaos I decided to take vacation this week and hang out with my kids. Maybe that will help them remember who I am in the coming months! So we are hanging out and cleaning up the house and yard this week. I also have to write 5 allocation proposals this week on vacation because they are due on Friday and nobody else is going to write them for me… and if I don’t I will not receive funding for this coming years programs! I had not planned on taking vacation this week but it is the boys spring break so figured it would be the best and only time till the end of summer. I am supposed to be working on the allocations now but needed a break!

The boys and I all got haircuts today. The boys were not very thrilled with the whole experience. Jeremiah was downright gloomy the entire time. Zachariah did ok. One of Tabitha’s friends is at beauty school so we decided to take advantage of cheap haircuts! You would think we were making the boys shave their heads or something. You can’t even tell Zachariah’s was cut it is still long but has less bulk to it. Jeremiah’s is shorter because he doesn’t like his curls so they cut them off! I got mine trimmed and a little more definition to the layers I have. I think next time I will leave the boys at home.

I joined a different gym and so far I really like it. It is way fancier than my old gym- which actually had no effect on my decision to switch. The only reason I switched was my old gym had hardly any classes and the few they had were at such awkward hours that I could never make it to them. I need classes, I do not push myself hard enough on my own. I have tried out 3 classes so far. Two are for sure keepers. I am going to try a few more and try to establish a weekly routine. I hadn’t been going for quite some time so I am so out of shape- it really is miserable getting back into the routine.

OK I have diverted enough time away. I have to get back to these allocations…. I am lacking motivation and creativity but I have put it off as long as I possibly can.
