I am not doing to good today.  I had a hard time waking up this morning.  Then once I did wake up, i didn't want to get up, but EO was already making me breakfast, so I had to get moving as his time was limited as he and Lauren were going in service this morning. Which that helped drag me out of bed.

So I dove into my Bible reading and ministry.  I have 13 hours so far.  I still don't go in service on Sundays, as it is just too much for me to do in a day.  By the end of the meeting I am pretty tuckered out.  Plus there is so much going on in the house after the meeting, that it is hard to focus on much else.  

I really am having a rough morning. It looks like Colton is too... he came home pretty tired last night, and he is moving a little slower this morning.  He said working went the special needs patients went well. And the nurses were helpful too.  He works all day today and most of the day tomorrow, but he doesn't have to run up town....(unless he has plans with friends) so hopefully he can get some rest before it starts all over again on Monday.

Steph too has been running a lot, with all the work she has been doing and the house/pet sitting besides.  She has plans today to meet up with some friends.  I think they are going to a movie or something.  She just had to take advantage of having a Saturday off, when she only gets those off when she is going to an assembly or convention.  however they are sticking her with having to work Sunday.  She hates that so bad... but it should be the last Sunday she will have to work...well, maybe one more, before she leaves the Merk.  She is going to miss everyone there.  

Lauren has been doing some serious cleaning and reorganizing in her room.  She just has too much stuff.  So I told her, to buy a couple foot lockers or a couple of big metal garbage cans and put all the stuff in it, that she just doesn't need but wants to keep if she gets a place of her own someday.  Plus to just toss some stuff that she never uses.  That way she can reduce the clutter she has in her room.  As it just makes her feel claustrophobic.

I have the same problem, when things get too cluttered, I get claustrophobic too. Well, it feels like that, but it is actually a panic attack.  When I get it, I get crabby and start cleaning frantically.  We have a lot of clutter all the time.  It makes me crazy.  We have a couple spots in our bedroom where we collect clutter, and it seems like we go through spurts, where it stays simple and organized and then times when we don't stay on top of it, and it gets out of control.  

We have to get cleaning really soon again.  I have to go through my stuff.  I want to put together a sewing kit for Steph.  I started one for each of the kids some time ago.  I gave Colton a little one when he had moved out.  But I want to get it completed really soon.  Plus we still need to go through all of Steph's stuff as some people have already asked me about buying her a gift when she moves.  I just am not positive what all she has.  

Oh, goofy kids... Colton and Lauren told Steph that Steph should give gifts to Lauren & Colton when Steph moves.  I think Steph has something for Lauren (I can't remember what... but it is something stupid) and I told her the gift she can give Colton is Steph's room when she moves.  lol.... goofy kids.
