Today started out terribly. I won’t got into details, but let’s just say we’ve all had better days around here.<\/p>\n

I finally gave up around 4pm and decided we were headed to the library. A room full of free books makes everything better, right?<\/p>\n

The library definitely turned things around for everyone. We had a great time and the kids checked out almost 100 books!<\/p>\n

I can only hope this will make up for all the science lessons we haven’t been completing lately.<\/p>\n

For the past two years I haven’t slept much every night. The good thing is that I don’t really need a lot of sleep, but lately I haven’t been able to fall asleep until after 2am. Since I like to get up before 6am, this is not a good thing. Waking up later puts me behind for the entire day.<\/p>\n

My mind just doesn’t want to turn off at night. At some point I’ll probably reset due to exhaustion, and I’m hoping that time comes soon!<\/p>\n

The girls had fun messaging their dad on Facebook today. They love all those silly smiley faces you can send via chat.<\/p>\n

We decided to send some real life smiley faces over chat too.<\/p>\n

\"girls\"<\/a><\/p>\n

All this randomness to say, if your day stinks- get out of the house. Sometimes you just need a change of scenery!<\/p>\n

My husband has been deployed to the Middle East for 274 days.\u00a0 These are my real thoughts expressing my heart during his absence.\u00a0 I appreciate your prayers and kind words as we cope, adapt, and carry on without him until August 2014.\u00a0 To read from the beginning, click here<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
