So Much to Do...So Little Time

I love the holidays, but this year the holidays are coming too quick for me. We are in the middle of remodeling our kitchen/dining room area. I'm hoping we'll be done in time. My MIL informed me that we are probably having Thanksgiving at MY house. I really don't mind having everyone here. I just want my kitchen to be finished. Also, school is keeping me very busy, so I haven't been able to keep up with my housework like I would prefer. My MIL is helping, but no one does it like I like. LOL. We are counting down to d-day and I'm not happy about that. It's too soon. We've known for some time, so it seemed so far away. But now that it's getting closer, I'm getting a little panicky. I worry about how I'm going to manage with 3 kids, the house, school, and church too. I worry about how much I'm going to miss my honey. We've never been apart for this long a period of time. I know I need to be strong for my kiddos. But we all know how emotional I am. I don't know how I'll do it. I registered for my classes for next semester. I'll be in school Monday through Friday. I just pray no one gets sick so I don't have to miss any school. I'm thankful my parents are close by. I worry about how my kids will be. Maegan is the one who feels like she has to take care of everyone. I have a journal for her to write in when she needs to. Jessica is the one I worry about the most, though. With her disability she is one that needs structure and upsets easily if her schedule is disrupted. Plus, she is extremely attached to her daddy. I've discussed upcoming events with her teacher and she's willing to help as much as possible. Ryan is my little fireball. I like to call him Dash from the Incredibles. He runs everywhere he goes and I have a hard time keeping up with him. I pray his behavior doesn't get any worse than it already is. I might have a lot less hair by the time my hubby gets back. I'll be busy with school, so that will help the time pass quickly...I hope. I have wonderful support through Christian Military Wives message board. The ladies on there are amazing. Also, my best friend in the world is also a military wife dealing with the same things. I don't know what I'd do without her!
