not sure what to title this

It has been a while since I have been able to even log into blogger to read any blogs - much less post anything!

Not only have I missed many entries from blogs I have begun to appreciate, my own husband posted a week ago and I totally missed it.

I've been BUSY. 

Homeschool has started full blast and I am rockin and rollin.

But, unlike previous years, I don’t feel quite as overwhelmed, bogged down as I usually am at this point.  I have set some schedules and made some promises to myself, my kids and my husband that I am keeping. 

My husband has begun to exercise some control over my schedule as well, with expectations of his own.

And it is all beginning to work. 

Today is one of my CRAZY driving days.  Three big meetings today - spread out morning, afternoon, evening - requiring a lot of travel back and forth and rearranging of dinner schedules, etc.  and two big meeting type things tomorrow.

But because I was HOME yesterday and got myself prepared for the week, in between meetings today all I have had to do is work on dinner.  Chicken went into the crockpot this morning for chicken/rice soup... then it got shredded after the first big thing... now, after our second meeting, we are making the bread and the rice for the soup... that will be ready in time for me to eat and run out the door for my last meeting of the day.

Plans... schedules... orderliness... chain of command... I like it.  I thrive in the comforting environs they create.

I love you hunny - and the place we are getting to!
