Schedule Adjustments

Second shift on Monday only involved four hours of being on the road (2-6 PM, but it felt long. It was pretty tame, compared to many second shifts I have known, but I am out of practice (which is a good thing). 

• Pick LM up from school 20 minutes early. 
• Go to the university speech clinic. 
• Do a really quick Aldi run on our way home. 
• Stop by home & put the food in the fridge and freezer.  
• Continue on to the grandparents'. 
• Leave LM there. 
• Take BK to his haircut. 
• Go back to the grandparents'. 

And then:

• Collapse in an easy chair. 
• I was ready for bed.  

But ... onward, ho! Home. Supper. Get LM in bed. 

And this is where the schedule changed from A Farmer in Winter to #Plant26.  Jim actually didn't start planting until Tuesday, but he worked late (until long after I was in bed) on Monday.

Now it's time for story time. Back in the day, I spent a summer or two as a camp counselor. (I worked at camps many summers, but was only a camp counselor on rare occasions.) Why did I not like being a camp counselor? Because I had to stay awake until everyone in my cabin was asleep. 

Why do I not like #Plant26? For the same reason.  I cannot in good conscience go to sleep before the children are in bed. (I also miss Jim tremendously.) 

My mother-in-law called today to see if I got any rest. In spurts! I am definitely still not over pneumonia.

• Take the kids to school.
• Lie down. 
• Pick up LM, drive 30 minutes to orthodontist, appointment, drive back.
• Lie down.
• Take lunch to Jim in the field (#Plant26!)
• Lie down. 
• Pick LM up from school.
• Lie down. 
• Pick BK up from school. 
• Lie down. 
• Cook supper. 

What will Wednesday hold? Only the Lord knows. Thankfully He is also holding me!
