So Sleepy

I could fall out of my chair and sleep right now--but I have way too much to do before that happens. The kids are at my parents house spending the night, so I thought I would take this opportunity to organize my life, LOL!!! That's right, I think that I can organize this chaos in one quiet evening--HA HA--that makes even me laugh!!! I never use to be this un-organized. There was always 'A place for everything and everything in it's place'. I'm not sure when I lost control of that--I think it was somewhere between holding my first born every second of every- day to shuttling them both all over God's green earth to every possible activity and event that they can attend. Time goes by entirely too fast! In the blink of an eye my baby is 7-years-old and in 2nd grade--a gifted athlete and too smart for her own good. And my littley guy, who beat some strong odds as an infant and fought to stay here even when we didn't think he was going to, is 5-years-old and in Kindergarten--also a very very good athlete and also too smart for his own good! It's nights like these when I have a million-and-one-things to do that I stop and daydream and try to remember a time before children--a time where Friday nights were all about going out all night-and sleeping in all the next day until it was time to go out again! A time where I wasn't responsible for anyone but myself and even that was pushing it :) A time that seemed so much simplier. And even though my life is chaotic and un-organized now, I wouldn't want it any other way. I am truly a lucky person to have the family and friends that I have and to have the husband and children that I have--I believe that without great friends and a loving family you are not complete, your heart is not full and you don't really know the true meaning of love. So, my friends and family, on that note I am going to get back to the task at hand--will it ever get done and be organized? Probably not! But, at least I tried and had a good daydream in the process!
