The girls are
back in swimming lessons. 4 days a week, 2 weeks this month. The main
instructor is teaching their class which is good, because he is a great
teacher. He's also a really tough level 3 instructor. It is going to be a
challenge for both girls, but especially for Gabbie. I'm glad that he
is pushing them, but they are going to have to work HARD! :o)
AWANAs starts back up in 2 weeks! (teachers go back next week) The girls are super excited. I have mixed feelings. I'm excited for them to go back, but it takes up so much of our Sunday afternoon as a family. And we get little of that time as it is with Tony's schedule. Oh well. I have worked in the high school class for the past 2 years and was planning to be there this year as well. However there were some last minute changes to the teacher schedule and I will now be working in the Cubbies. The commander said they could use another "cat herder" ha ha. I'm used to herding cats...so I told them I would move over. I will be doing the wrap up at the end of class every week and presenting awards. Along with the "herding" of course. I'm excited. I think it will be a fun change. I enjoyed being in the high school room before since I heard cats all day long, but I really do think that this will be fun. The guy that I worked with last year was moved to another class, so getting into a smooth routine with someone else would have taken a bit of work anyway. And since we will only be there for part of the year this will be better. There are a lot more Cubbie leaders, so loosing me from that class will be easier then from a class where I am 1 of only one or two other leaders.
School is keeping me busy in the mornings. Gabbie likes doing it every day unlike last year, which is great, but makes me extra busy. And there is also a 1 year old crawling all over the place...mornings are crazy around here.
I am hoping to join one of the PWOC (Protestant Women of the Chapel) groups here this year also. It's a ladies Bible study group that meets at military chapels all over the world. From what I've seen it's a pretty good group, and the one here has some nice retreats! Not sure If we will be here for the one this year or not. It meets on Wednesdays at 8:30. Hopefully I can get 3 kids ready and out the door that early! Our Bible study house has a women's Bible study group that meets on Monday nights...but being out late with 3 girls by myself, and then having to get 3 tired cranky girls to bed by myself is not fun! By the time I get them all to bed me going to Bible study was pointless. ;o) So even though this one is really early, I'm hoping that it will fit our schedule better. I have our school lesson plans set up for 4 days a week. It works well. they get everything done that they need to, but we have a day of flexibility also. I need that.
I guess that's all the updating I can do for now. One of the big girls left the gate open to the playroom and it sounds like Savannah is in there destroying things. And Gabbie is super tired and "Can't walk" upstairs. Sigh....see why no one ever hears from me??! LOL!

Yay! You're back!
From my experience with early-morning herding of kids (cats!) out the door.... I gave up trying to make breakfast. No matter how early I get up, if I cook, we're late. (We have to be at church by 8:45 for pre-church band practice.) We did the fast-food dollar menu for a long time, but to save money, this summer I started getting microwave breafasts (Jimmy Dean mini-biscuits, or sausage-on-a-sticks) that they ONLY get to eat on Sundays. That's my advice!
We start AWANA two weeks from tonight. I'm doing Cubbies, too. Nathan moves up to Sparks, but I'm staying with the Cubbies and teaching the lesson. It totally is herding cats. A.D.D. cats. "Who made our great big world?" "Popcicles!!!!" Sigh. :)
Bahaha! You are right. :o) And that's great advice for breakfasts...thanks!
