Sometimes my head runs on overload with all the things I want to get done, should be doing, should have done already, etc. I guess I shouldn't say sometimes, but rather nearly all of the time. My list of things to get done is a long list and I'm often overwhelmed that I'm the only one working on this list.

For example, the furnace needs replaced. The whole outside unit. It's depressing. It will cost a lot of money...money we don't have so we'll have to secure financing.
The brakes need looked at on the van. The ABS light keeps coming on and going off so it needs hooked up to a machine to tell me what th problem is. Unfortunately, I am having a hard time finding a place that will just give me an appointment time and check the van while I wait. Everyone wants me to drop the van off. Well, if my husband were home that would be fine. We could manage that. With him not home, I have to figure out how to leave the van there and get me and my little guys (still in car seats) home....and then back to the shop when it's time to pick up the darn thing.
And I'm in desperate need of some dental work. More than I can afford, even with the insurance we have. I also have to figure out how to get that done while taking care of the kids.
And there are so many things that need done in and outside of the house this summer.

I know God won't give me more than I can handle so I'm just praying for the peace and wisdom to handle all that He has given me at one time.

I know that none of this was taken care of by simply typing it all, but I'm a list kind of person and I needed to make one. There's a lot more going on, but I'm not feeling well and too tired to type it all out.

The only stroke I've ever had is one of genius!!

Oh goodness. So my train has veered so far off course. :) I mean, I'm miles away from the tracks.

I have to admit this, because you can't change what you can't admit, but we haven't done regular consistent school work since the first week in February. That was two months ago. Adam's Grandpa got sick and then the frenzy was on to get Adam home before his grandpa died. Then he did make it home and was home for three weeks. Then he left and a week later we went to Ohio. A week and a half later we came home and both of the boys caught the pink eye I'd had for over a week. So this weekend it's a reset.

Press the reset button now.

I have the house to get in order this week as well as a list that takes up the entire page, but it has to get done. Because on Monday, we're starting over. School time, dinner time, fun time, all the time.

Unfortunately, it's nearly one in the afternoon on Saturday and I've accomplished nothing on my list. But the little sweetie pie just fell asleep and that frees up a little bit of time for me to get something done.

Dear Lord, I have so much to get done, so much to do. I pray that I can accomplish these tasks with a joyful heart and a quick step! I want so greatly to get back on the tracks....I just feel like I'm pushing a very large train a long distance to get it to where it needs to go.
