Bringing up the rear

The title...that's how I've been feeling. I've been struggling through these last few days. Seems that I find a lot on my plate to deal with, plus more stuff that I know I'm adding on my self. I just continue to remind myself that the good Lord won't give me more than I can handle.

Doesn't seem like much has been going on; though on the other hand, seems as if we have just been busy-busy! I'm still trying to get the house back in order from the holidays. I don't recall it ever being so hard to do. My gumption to jump into it and get it tackled isn't all up to par either. I find myself him-hauling around some days, not knowing what to do with myself. Is this normal? You would think that one could only do so much cleaning and housework. But each day I wake up to more and more. How is this possible!?!

Rebekah is scooting and beginning to get up on all 4's more and more. She stays up longer too. She'll leap and land on her nose from time to time. I don't see that this makes her mad though. If she could just learn how to move the arms in conjunction with the legs. She is starting to get big for the infant carrier. Her feet are popping out the end, and, well carrying her...she is getting a bit heavy. I don't doubt that she is ready for the next car seat, but I fear that with her not sitting up yet, a walmart trip will be difficult.

Things are starting to get hung up on the walls and it is more and more feeling like home. Do you have any of those 'signature' pieces....that if they aren't on the walls then it doesn't feel like home yet? I have chuckled many times as I hang things. I have a few of them!

Madison and Jonathan are still doing well in school. They are anxious for sports to start. They have both agreed to do soccer again. Madison goes back and forth with softball. I'm sure once the time is here she will jump on with it. Jonathan says that he will do Spring soccer b/c football is in the fall. And to think that he didn't want anything to do with football last fall! Madison has also shown interest in basketball. I'm not sure if they have a basketball league here at Fillmore like they used to back in my day; but we are going to take advantage of a clinic that Depauw is offering. That's the only way she will know if she likes it-is to try it.

Well I better get off and get to cleaning. I find that if I don't sit too long, my energy level stays high and a lot gets done. I had to get out and take the kids to school this morning so I'm pumped and ready.
