Well, here I go again with yet another adjustment to make to the "new normal" in life :-)
Hmmmm, partial list of stuff to do while I "adjust"...not in any particular order: regular quiet time IN THE MORNING when I have a brain; some kind of daily physical exercise (swimming, walking, push mowing, gardening, dancing); weed out unnecessary junk from the house; tackle the out-of-control garage; 30 hours of nurse/birth educator continuing ed before March (women's health and labor induction); do fun stuff with Doug when he is in town; work on Jesse's and Janna's ancestry album and then start one for Ruth, Jonathan and Josh; hang out with friends; CLG Shalom study and ladies' Bible study; Wednesday AM's at New Life; misc. doctors' appts for routine maintenance; look forward to Ruth's next visit; take Mom somewhere fun every week; etc., etc., etc..... Ok, no excuses for moping around missing my hubby and kids while they are gone....too busy and too much to do :-)
