We were home this week. Derek had local construction work. We made pizza and brought him and the crew lunch wednesday.
Here we are 1 week later. This week in a few words. Exhausted, always feel like I'm 10 steps behind, no light at the end of the tunnel.
Just being honest here. Life is catching up on me. Tyson has been up lots at night. Almost every hour some nights to nurse a bit and go right back to sleep . I love my kids but I am just plain wore out. Babies are a lot of work. I can deal with it on sleep but this is real life with no sleep.
And I have been working so hard to keep the house picked up for hubby and my sanity but I had canning on top of it and trying to decide on what I need for Austin school. My mind never stops. I think I'm going with abeka math and the reading and phonics but not doing all the extras. Just trying to keep it simple.
I want a simple tidy house so bad but getting there is a pull. When do you have extra time on top of cooking ,taking care of the children ,laundry etc to go through everything in your house and organize and purge. Can you tell I am about ready to throw my hands up in the air and say I give up. But I really want a little stress free house. As I look at my over full closets ,pantry I can feel my stress level rising. You don't know how bad I want to get to the end result. I have made some progress, my kitchen counter tops are staying clean and I pick up and sweep the house every day if possible. But just to get to the behind the doors stuff and then to purge our storage building. Ahhh the list never stops.
Canned salsa and picked greenbeans every other day.
Well so this is a really sappy post. It's only gotta get better from here right? Fingers crossed.
Hubs has been doing great helping with the children so I could have an occasional nap and helping sweep the floors etc. Love him so much for putting up with this mess of a girl right now. I always tell him he deserves better than me .

Minneapolis and Home
We came home from Minnesota on Wed night. Travelling 12 hrs with us all in a truck got a little old but everyone did quite well. Then the rest of the week was BUSY.
Thurs emptied out the camper and brought it back to Brian's and then loaded up 2 truckloads and a trailer full of stuff to take to his parents where we all had a huge yards ale Friday and Saturday.
I got up at 5 Friday to get some of my stuff marked and put out on totes. It ended up raining most of the morning . What a mess we had some tables outside under a tent and the tent about blew away. But by noon things cleared up and we had a good turn out after all.
Sat I spent the day at home cleaning up and laundry and we had some friends over for the evening that we had been in Haiti with. It was so funless to be with Donna, Jill and their families.
Sunday today we had Derek's family over for lunch and the afternoon. And I am hoping for a little rest this week. Have greenbeans ,tomatoes and cucumbers to can from my garden.
Hope you all have a blessed week.

Well we finished up 10 day project at the brand new us banks football stadium in Minneapolis. Derek installed the food carts.
We took the day off yesterday before we came home to go to the mall of america and Derek took us past the stadium.
We had been at the campground all week. Kids loved the playground, mini golf, basketball and just enjoying the outdoors. We were pretty much outside whenever Tyson was awake and I was done dishes and cooking. Felt so good to all be on the road again after 2 months at home with Derek leaving on short work trips.
