life

Life has been crazy busy lately. So different than my maternity leave with Camille. One kid and a baby is so different than 2 kids and a baby. Plus add on all our activities, music for both girls, horse and speech and I am running in a million different directions. Av is in school short days on Monday and Friday so by the time we get home we have to turn around and pick her back up. Then add in trying to get ready for Christmas and we are running constantly. John is back in full fledge travel mode. This is the 3rd week in a row he is gone 2 nights. Last week I took the kids to the science center for a family night with Av's school while he was gone. This week we had a bday party for one of Av's friends. We are always off to something or other. The weather is not helping all my fun. It has been sooooooo cold. Way too cold for early Dec in KY. I hate it. School was already off Monday this week for a silly 3 inches of snow. On top of the cold and John being gone we are getting a big storm tonight. I am totally freaked. We are getting ice. It was in 2009 when I was home alone with Avery and baby Camille when we lost power due to ice. I can't do that again. The thought makes me cry. I am totally prepared though. I bought 2 bundles of fire wood, got out the fire starter, had John talk me though making a fire in the fireplace, made sure the flashlights have batteries in them and turned the heat up just in case. In 09 I was so prepared in a different way. Left the garage door open and packed our bags so we could leave if needed. This time we are staying put and making a fire. Please pray it does not come to that.
