Rambling Wednesday...

Today I have so much on my mind, that maybe if I write it all down, it will help clear my head!

• Our dentist appointments went well yesterday.  No cavities for anyone...hooray!
• The dentist confirmed that Youngest has THREE loose teeth.  Big smiling eyes when he heard that news!  Look out tooth fairy!
• Several weeks ago our pastor mentioned that one of his favorite things is a Dr. Pepper slurpee!  Where has this been all my life and why am I not drinking one right now?
• We're having a lot of trouble with Oldest and his ability to tell the truth on even the most trivial questions.
• There's been a lot of yelling and teeth gnashing over lying and helping around the house.
• I feel like I'm failing my children.  
• I'm less than happy with my work life as well.  I feel like our leadership team is trying to make the role much harder than what it is.
• My work hours recently changed.  I go in about 30 minutes later (not late enough to actually help hubby with ANYTHING in the morning) and I get home about 45 minutes later than I used to.
• Changing work hours means a change all the way around for the family.  We have less time together in the evenings and we're rushing to get things done.
• When do we have time to just stop and breathe?
• Our house is almost always a disaster zone!  We need a better plan to keep it clean.
• Hubby and I are celebrating our 13 year wedding anniversary next Monday!  WOWZA! 
• Hubby is working all weekend and working late through the first part of next week.  I don't see any anniversary celebrating this year. With busy work life and two kiddos, that's bound to happen!
• The following weekend is Oldest's birthday.  We're going camping and two of his friends are tagging along.  FUN!
• The weather in the Midwest is so unpredictable, we're praying for a dry weekend!  It hasn't rained since my birthday weekend when we took the family camping.  We're due for more rain. 
• I've been eating my stress lately.  Not only is it not helping my stress, it's not helping my waistline either!
• I really believe that God doesn't give us more than we can handle.  Sometimes I believe he may have a little to much faith in me to handle all he's given me!
