Outing

We went out together on a shopping trip for the first time in quite a while. As we started out, I was thrilled! And it was a pretty good trip, all in all, but I certainly get tired out more quickly than I used to and the mall doesn't have *quite* the draw, either. I really must be getting old, eh? Hehe. I don't mind, though, really.

I'm happy because we got the kids up quite a bit earlier than we have been getting up. :D Here's hoping that we're moving towards getting on a little earlier schedule!

We bought a large dry erase board to hang on the wall of the lower landing of our stairway to help us organize our housekeeping tasks. Maybe we can finally digourselves out from under all this clutter. That would be wonderful! We also bought a new computer chair, which we have been needing for a long time. The back on this one is broken, so I can't lean back, which can get to be really uncomfortable. We found some fun stuff there for the kids, like a crayon holder tower and a couple computer games.

I have a headache now. I really want to go to sleep. Once we start getting up at the same (earlier) time every day, I'm going to try really hard to institute a bedtime routine starting at the same time most nights. Our days really need a little more organization. I guess everything in my life does! :P Going to stop writing now and take some Tylenol. Will try to update again soon. G'night!
