This blog is intended as a means of sharing my happy chaos with my circle of support in this crazy world. First and foremost I am a child of God who readily admits that I have a lot to learn. I am the mom of 4 kids ages 13, 11, 7, & 5; as well as a wife & nursing student. I will graduate Fall 2013! Hopefully through this blog I can escape my busy bubble and connect with life. I truly believe that with the right amount of determination and support all things are possible!

It's All In The Numbers!!
So today wasn't a day that held anything extraordinary for me. What it did hold had everything to do with the numbers. Rewind to last night-couldn't sleep and finally turned lights out at 3:30 a.m. At 4:00 a.m. SURPRISE~Jeff's alarm went off (all 3 of his alarms)! Finally at 4:30 a.m. he left for work after the 3 alarms going off a total of 8 times. Snuggled back in when the next big surprise arrived~Briggs (4-year-old) was awake and ready for the day! I really didn't think I could face the day at that point. God smiled on me and I lulled Briggs back to sleep for 2 more glorious hours! Upon finally facing my day I got breakfast for 3 of the 4 kids (Logan was with a friend) and got busy on the 3-4 hours of work I had. my momentum picked up and before I knew it I had conquered my work for the day including going to the Children's Hospital to pick-up my new work (which I also finished today). In between the work and running I of course fed the 3 kids again and put 1 (Lauren-2) down for a nap. With lunch, work and naps checked off I moved on to the real numbers~~school work. I have a math test tomorrow with my final exam next week so needless to say there is much that I needed to work on in the land of numbers. I spent a couple of hours on math until Jeff got home. Then at 5:00 p.m. I got 2 of the kids ready to go to VBS then picked up Logan +2 friends for VBS which equaled me dropping off 5 kids at VBS (while Jeff kept 1 at home). Got home from dropping off and started preparing what I thought were 3 pork chops for Jeff to grill for the two of us and Lauren only to realize that I had 6! Never fear~called my mom and offered some pork chops up for the 3 of them for dinner~so I only ended up with 1 wasted pork chop! Dinner was great and Jeff headed to pick up the 5 kids from VBS (dropped 2 back off and home) and came home with the other 3. I got Lauren bathed and ready for bed while he retrieved the others. Lauren to bed at 9:30 (Logan went before here at 9:00~did I mention she spent the night with a friend last night). Left with the boys up I sat back to tool around the Internet for a bit and got Briggs to bed by 10:30. Dylan (8) is our late night owl this summer and I am really having to work on getting him to GO TO BED. Jeff worked on his math until about 11:30 then hit the hay (work at 5:00 a.m. for him). So as I sat back and reviewed my day I realized how much the numbers played a role in my day. As a matter of a fact by looking at the numbers in the corner of my computer screen it's already tomorrow so according to the numbers everything that I have just blogged should be in past tense because it really happened yesterday!!!!! Don't forget the numbers do matter!
