It's Five O'Clock in the Morning.....sing it with me....

Well, I did it!  I just hit the 'send' button, thus turning in my final project for my summer semester!  It feels really good to be finished with the course work.  However, I love the work involved in going to school, so I will begin my fall semester reading early next week, even though that semester does not begin for about three weeks. 

Most wise counsel would say:  put down the book, paint the shed, and get everything else put away.  I intend to do those things, as well....for this coming week will mark the beginning of our 'new routine' as a family!  The girls begin school on Tuesday, secretly, I think they are excited.  However, outwardly, they groan about getting up early, and going to bed earlier!  In the summer, they stay up super late...and sleep super late...(I've never been convinced that it is a good idea to sleep past eight am on any day...I feel like I've wasted the best time of day if I do that!) 

I will be thankful for the routine, and thankful that they will be making new friends and doing things --well, SOME things that kids their age do...this fall they will most likely be getting their driver's license...I remember saying that the junior high years were like puberty in stereo...getting their license will be worse...I'm considering putting it off until they are twenty one...but then I reason that I am only hurting myself in the long run--for I remember the days that I could send Alayna or Holly to the store for me, or run an errand that I didn't have time to get to...they loved driving, as I am certain the younger girls will love, as well!

We are going to get to see our 'babies' this evening--for that I am so thankful!  They make me smile, and most of the time they make me laugh out loud!  I get to get my eyes tested tomorrow!  I have great plans for new glasses--hoping that becomes a reality! 

I have been awake since 3:30am...finishing up and double checking my bibliography...I pressed send at 5:45...it is now, 6:05 am...I think I should wake up the girls, and tell them we are going to work on the basement...hmmmmm...not a good idea...I will so much more enjoy the quiet of their sleeping than the moaning that 'it isn't even day-light yet'...I'll instead, brew a pot of coffee, grab my Bible and have a little party:  Just me and God!!! 

I'll write more later, you know I will!
