Today has not been a day of excitement about our upcoming experiences. I'm pretty mopey, tired and not at all pleased with the amount of time between now and then. I'm still trying to balance my deep need to over-schedule us so that it "makes the time go by faster" but I know that it will only lead to cranky kidlets and an exhausted momma.
Let's see how I can do in the upcoming week to give ourselves a four-hour chunk every day that does not have any plans attached to it!
