SMP 5.8.13

SMP = Seven Minute Post

Hooray for hump day! I'm in a really unhealthy pattern right now of staying up late and waking up crazy-early because of some big stuff on my plate. Coffee and Emergen-C are my beverages of choice these days. I have a couple of deadlines today that should bring an end to this particular pattern...at least temporarily. It will be nice to fall asleep without corporate logos and spreadsheets swirling through my brain! It is drizzly and dreary here this morning and if those deadlines weren't hanging over my head, you wouldn't have to twist my arm to get back in bed and sleep the morning away.

Will and I just took a second and counted the remaining days of school. My high schoolers have TWELVE more days and my elementary kiddo has TEN. The older two are not happy about those two extra days they have to go. I'm just ready for them all to be finished. I am so over homework and projects and driving to three different schools.

I don't think I've mentioned it on the blog, but Will is going to serve on work crew at a Young Life camp this summer for almost a MONTH! He leaves at the end of May and will be gone until almost the end of June. This hasn't fully sunk in for me and I truly don't even like to think about it. I'm super proud of him though and know that it will be a wonderful experience for him. Sarah is going to Puerto Rico on a mission trip with our church youth group while he's gone so that means that Abbey gets to be an only child for about a week. Can't EVEN express how much that girl is looking forward to that.

My seven minutes are up (more like nine, oops) and my pancakes are ready so I must go! Happy hump day, people!
