Today's post could potentially be all over the place.
Life is crazy right now, which is a good thing. Busy, exhausted, non-stop is good. I am in trouble after tomorrow when a huge chunk of distraction is gone.
Tomorrow the chapel is hosting a deployed spouse appreciation day. I am event coordinator. I am excited. I got to come up with a fancy name--Anchored at the Heart: Deployed Spouses Appreciation Day. I got to find a cool logo to use--
I got to set up the whole day, find volunteers, plan childcare activities, make SWAG bags, put together gift basket door prizes. It will be fun...I hope.
I do find it a teeeeeeeeny bit funny that I am planning a day to appreciate spouses of deployed service members when I am a spouse of a deployed service member.
It has been a crazy lot of work (and a bit of stress) but has been a great point to focus on. It has allowed me to put all my energy and worry and nerves into something positive. So when it is over tomorrow, my big project is completed. Which leaves me with Easter Service to work on (but that's going to be SO cake) and that's it. All the crazy stuff at work is done.
So, I am taking on some other random projects: Chairing the boat's Homecoming Committee (which it is still so far away it seems silly now to work on it), mega house cleaning with a goal to have my first ever garage sale at the end of April, and maybe, hopefully, eventually, planning a move. Maybe.
Through all of this, though, my kiddos are great. I can't ask for better kids...pretty sure they don't exist. They show such grace and friendliness and optimism. Yeah, they are stinkers and get grouchy. Everyone does. But their little faces are the best part of my day.
