Slack but Here!

Yes, yes, I've been slack. Things have been insanely chaotic. You would think we would have a routine down by now, but the fact that we are sometimes at home in the motorhome and sometimes on the road makes it difficult.

This week, with the "winter storm" hitting Pennsylvania, we decided to go with dh on the road. Last week, he was gone from early Monday morning until about midday on Friday, leaving me with the kids, frozen pipes, and a busted car . But then I was also able to housesit in a real, live, unfrozen-pipes house, so it worked out. I finally just threw up my hands and took some time to enjoy the ability to send the kids into a different room. You would be amazed at how relaxing that can be.

Right now, we are packing up pretty much every morning, which puts a serious damper on my morning scripture study, much less blogging. Argh! DH was home all day Valentines day (well, in the motel-turned-hotel as we drove) because of the icy roads; the guy he was supposed to meet for his job didn't make it in to work. Hopefully he will get in tomorrow; the roads should clear up by then. After that, we are supposed to head to northern New Jersey (we're not too far from Jersey City) and northern Pennsylvania, so I do hope the weather cooperates. I was hoping to be home by Friday and make arrangements for the stake temple trip on Saturday, but I don't have much hope ofo that now. Perhaps if I pray for a miracle.

Lots of things going on, and so little time. It's after one now. I hate having to stay up until the middle of the morning to blog, but it's the only time I can focus, especially when dh is home. He thinks the TV needs to be on at all times, which makes it hard to study my scrips, especially when I am sitting right beside it. I'm trying to drop some bad habits and, so far, having good luck with it. Of course, it's only been a day. I really feel like the Lord has helped me so far, and I hope and pray He continues, because I need all the help I can get!

Well, off to bed with me. Thank goodness today we were all able to take a nap; we've been on the road the last few days at naptime, and I was exhausted. The boys slept in the car (my daughter never sleeps), but I can't get much rest like that. I'll probably miss my nap tomorrow. Something to think about while I kick the aforementioned habit; less sleep makes for a grouchy mommy, which makes it harder to bring in the Spirit. I'm sure a solution will present itself. Like now: go to bed! ;)
