It's 5 O'Clock in the Mornin'

So, it seems my children are getting up with the roosters these days. My husband's work schedule varies from day to day. Most mornings he is up and gone by 5am, some mornings as early as 3. I get up with him, make his lunch and he tucks me back into bed before he leaves. i am blessed!


I am usually up by 6am or 6:30 at the latest. I like that little bit of extra sleep and then rising a little bit before my children so that I might have some alone time and God time. I am not getting those times here lately. My kiddos are rising with the chickens (literally, our neighbor down the way has a few yard chickens).


I am hoping that this stops soon.........


I was going to make my weekly run to town today, even had my list planned out already. However, with the risk of damaging winds, hail, and a slight risk of isolated tornadoes (and a 90% chance of rain), I think I will catch up on my ironing and plan with my babies. A nap also sounds nice!

Hubby is off from work tomorrow, so I will get my errands done then and he can spend some quality time with the boys. Did I mention it is going to be in the 70's? We also have plans to work in the yard tomorrow and maybe clean out our storage building. The boys will have a blast playing outside. The grass needs to be mowed and weeded around. We also need to put out some weedkiller around the house, rat bait under the house, Sevin in the yard for fleas. Our vehicles need cleaned out and washed. I could go and on. We'll wait and see what gets accomplished.........


What are your plans for the weekend? Have a great day! Blessings!!!

I am praying that your area doesn't get hit with more nasty weather. This weekend we're going to sightsee along the coast. It's spring break, so we'll take the kids on a weekend adventure.i hope you have a nice weekend with your family!

Yikes!!! I too need that little bit of quiet time in the morning before the kiddoes get up; it makes such a difference.

And let's spread some of that nice weather around...except for the winds, hail, and tornadoes; I'll pray that skips right over you.

As for weekend plans: I plan to clean out my shed and take a load to the dump (whatever isn't fit for Goodwill). AND reorganize some major hotspots in the household...As well as prepare for the coming school week...Wish me luck, will you?
