Deployment Day #94

by Toni Herrbach

This is what I found when I walked out of my bedroom.

When I asked them why they were all sleeping in the hall they said it was because they wanted something different.

Today was a good day. We didn’t get everything done, but I’m getting use to it.

This weekend we will be cleaning. I’m not exactly looking forward to it, but I’ve let the school stuff creep into almost every area of our house. I’m all for letting learning be a part of our day, but I’m tired of finding papers, markers, and glue sticks, etc all over the place.

Also, I don’t function well with mess and clutter so it is time to take care of it. Wish me luck, deep cleaning with five children is always…. interesting.

My husband has been deployed to the Middle East for 274 days.  These are my real thoughts expressing my heart during his absence.  I appreciate your prayers and kind words as we cope, adapt, and carry on without him until August 2014.  To read from the beginning, click here.

    Don’t you wish you could listen to a recording of the conversation that led to them sleeping in the hall? So cute! {I love that your first reaction was to take a picture 🙂 Good luck with the cleaning!}

      Yes! They acted like it was no big deal, it was so funny.
