What a week! and it is only Wednesday... Dh left for his out of town job on Sunday, Monday was busy like usual, Tuesday started with a talk with Dot covering stuff we needed to talk about, (between her life and mine, we almost need to schedule a time to talk), then haircuts for Dessert and Duke, then we started the ping pong game with CAP and Drum & Dime as CAP figured out when and where they were going to help with sandbagging. Trying to do school with the phone ringing and discussing options every hour was crazy! They finally finished for the day. Just after we decided they wouldn't be called out last night, we ran to Wal-Mart. Sure enough, as we were loading up for the ride home, the boys got called. We flew home, threw their stuff in the car, and scooted to the meeting place. They were so excited! They helped out last year, and enjoyed the work. One of them asked on the way, about their school work, the other told him, we are just not thinking about it until we get back. Sounded good to me! :-)
I picked up another cadet on the way home, and helped him with his two tests, so that he could be available to go on the next team. I've got to figure out, if as a senior member, I need to take those tests. By this time, I could ace them.

I don't mind busy, but I hate it when I have to make a ton of major decisions in the midst of it all, each time in less than 5 minutes. I felt exhausted last night, so I slept in. I better get moving, as my e-mail needs adjusting so I can send and receive e-mail (high on the important scale), I need to jog, I need to pay a few bills (I hope I'm not late on - Panic, panic), I need to do a book report on here, I got to figure out getting Dessert's present for his birthday on Thursday (I wish he wanted pizza for his birthday meal, and not sweet-and-sour chicken, which is good, but a ton of work.), and figure out who is going to the jazz concert on Thursday night, which we were all signed up for, but now the older boys are gone, Dh won't be home that night until late, etc...

On another note - I have so many blessings! I love this part of spring!!! The kids are loving playing outside. I put away the snow pants (so my coat closet isn't so bursting). Today looks gorgeous, and I could spend every minute out doors. Our driveway is drying out, and around the house is dry enough, that mud is no longer brought in by every kid stepping out. My husband has a job, so maybe finances will start going uphill, yeah! I'm caught up on laundry, and with 3 big guys gone, I don't have so much to do. I'm looking forward to taking Dessert shopping for his present - He's due to be spoiled. He's usually faithful with his schoolwork, and doesn't complain about it. Plus, he's been generally patient with Darling - who has been such a project lately. He's fun to spoil. His big eyes light up.
