Some people have moved often. Others find moving a very rare event in their lives. We not only are ones that can't stay put, we tend to move alot, and it's usually last minute. We found out about this move, and had a month to prepare ONLY because we needed to give our rental agency notice if we wanted our deposit back. (That house cost us plenty of money, getting our deposit back was a MUST.)
So, most every day for a month, I was sorting something, washing something, or running around like a crazy woman. No matter how late I went to bed, my internal clock kicked me up out of bed somewhere between 5:30 and 6am (thanks to being well trained to drive Randy to seminary.) This is not exactly enjoyable on Weekends where I didn't need to get up early. In the last 10 days? I guess it's been since we moved in, I've actually gotten to sleep in!! Rolling out of bed at 9am has been SO enjoyable. The trick was to actually sleep more than 3 hours without waking up to ensure Jason was sleeping okay, and the house was quiet.
Last night - I have NO idea what did it, but I actually slept GOOD. I only woke up only 3 times AND only woke up at 9am because a kid needed me. (Can ya feel the love?) I feel more rested and relaxed today then I have in so long I can't remember. Granted, my memory's been struggling lately - so it could've been a couple of months and I wouldn't remember if I didn't write it down - did I write it?
Anyway, Jason is still peacefully asleep, and I know it didn't take as long for his meds to get him to sleep last night as it has this week, so I'm very thankful the kids are all behaving and trying to let me enjoy an "argument free" Sunday.
SO next weekend, or on your next day off, I hope for each of you to enjoy yourselves a good old sleep in. I forgot how GOOD they felt. :o)
(New ward to go to at church today. We get to enjoy the afternoon time slot for a whole month & a half!)

I LOVE the afternoon time slot! That's what we've been on this year, 1-4. Jonathan would much rather have 9:00 church but HE'S not the one who has to get the kids ready!! lol. On the other hand, it just occurred to me that he can go to church every sunday now... maybe in uniform, but at least he can go! Good news!!!
