Ever looked up the word slacker in your dictionary? If you have, you'd find my picture RIGHT next to it!! A lot of things have been slipping through my fingers lately (card exchange, playgroup, cross stitch, etc) and oh boy... I'm getting behind. So many great intentions, so little energy. For starters, gearing up to send my other half (and at this point better half) off exploring the world without me. It's been kind of tiring. Getting the car fixed (well maintained is a better definition), sort of rearranging my house (meaning it's half done), getting rid of things, washing everything, trying to organize everything that needs to take the trip with him, plus having enough time together (which we never have), and coming to grips. Crazy crazy crazy. It's times like these I really am amazed by those other seemingly stronger women. Then again, each time he has left for a lengthy period of time - I've had the great pleasure of pregnancy hormones. haha. I guess it is Heavenly Father's way of keeping me weepy. Then, after all the praying I have been doing about the girls being ready for potty training and fighting my own "symptoms" of great fatigue with the occasional gag reflex, I had a break through! Why not potty train them WHILE I'm feeling yucky and have no desire to go anywhere (including the gym)? So... that is what I am doing - we are on day 2. So far today, one successful potty trip and no accidents. Yes, I am knocking on wood right now. I won't be at book club tonight, but my thoughts will be with you ladies!! I loved the book and look forward to reading March's.
The other way I am slacking is in updating (of course!). I have so much to post. Including from way back in December. I have family pictures to post, some funny clips of my children and my nephew running around my house, and a few things we've done in preparation for Jeremiah's big trip. Oh, and quite a few recipes for that recipe blog I've got going with my sister. I have a lot to do - my goal is to do it within the next few days so I can be caught up and get to do some of the other things I've been wanting to!

Don't be too hard on yourself! I was like that about 3 months ago (without the deployment though!!). We have to take care of ourselves and know that it is ok to let a few things slide. You are doing great!
You are strong and will survive it all. I will be here for you too. I am still trying to get mackenzie potty trained. She is so stinkin strong willed about she can't do it. I have to get it done though.
Bless your heart Janice...I admire you in so many ways. Please call me sometime when you just need a break and I'll come get your girls, I'd be so happy to help. I am truly thankful for the sacrifice your family makes on our countries behalf, I know you'll be blessed and strengthened for your goodness and willingness. We should just have a Potty Training party, I suppose...we've also entered the POTTY PHASE OF NO RETURN!
Please Janice - you have to know how tough you are! You had back to back babies with your huband gone! That alone was amazing to me. And even when it was hard you've always been such a good mom to your girls :) Although I know it's har dto be alone again, aI hope you know Drew and I will come visit anytime!
