Ready to recover...

It's been a busy weekend... a busy week... a busy month.  And finally, it's all coming to an end.  Tomorrow is the end of the festivities of the season (at least I think it is), as we celebrate Jenny's 3rd birthday as a family.

I am so ready to have my house "back in order" (if you can ever actually have your house "in order" with kids living in it) and my life back to some sort of "normal" routine.  I finally got the end of the Christmas/birthday presents (with the exception of what Jenny will get from us on her birthday) put away last night, and washed all the kids' new clothes.  (I had no idea they had gotten so many clothes - they just threw them at me as they opened the gifts, and I just made a pile - I had to stuff the washer to get them all in one load!)  Now all I have to do is take down the tree, stockings, and remaining Christmas stuff from the living room.  Then, we'll be back to "normal", at least in our decor.

I think we're going to wait one more week before starting school back up, as this is a "weird" week for us (appointments, birthdays, J off an extra day, etc.).  But, I'm going to take some time this week to try to put together a new unit for when we start back up next week.  We're going to start working on word families and basic addition.

But, today I have to wrap presents, make and decorate a cake, and try to relax some in order to gear up for the week ahead.

Q4U: Are you back to "normal" this week?  What are you looking forward to most about this week?  Least?  Anything I can be praying about for you this week?
