Not really. But I initially titled it "Hump Day Check-in" and that sounded kind of strange.

Vonnie, SO GREAT TO CATCH UP WITH YOU!!! Sounds like you all have been going through a lot, but you also seem very positive while moving through everything. I hope you all are feeling better soon.

Jenny and Jamie, what are you blog addies? I know I used to have Jenny's under my favorites, but lost them when I lost the hard drive.

Andrea, WOW! What a large troop! Have they considered cutting it down into smaller groups? DS7's Wolf Cub group is large, too, and it makes it hard to do things sometimes. Maybe that's because nobody makes them sit and listen, too. Hmmm...

Heidi, the house sounds beautiful. We dream about doing something like that in the future, too. Can you please send an energy boost my way?

Becky, what kind of degree are you studying towards? I gather it involves music.

Okay, I'm keeping up routines in this house a little better. It got rough last week, and we're not all 100% healthy this week. But sink has been clean, and I'm doing better with planning and prepping a good dinner. Also a big help is getting the boys' things ready for school the night before. THAT alone has taken a lot of stress out of my mornings.

That said, the first of the three wild ones is up, and he's already telling me he's bored. It's 6:00 a.m. here!
