Ups and downs

Ups- husband's been home a couple of times
Downs- he's only home for a couple of days (which could also be seen as an up, since both times were good and happy times, not even a disagreement to mar it)

Ups- pastor loves the idea of a Walk Through Bethlehem
Downs- it's morphed into something completely different from the original vision and I'm not sure we'll be able to pull it off

Ups- finally got some publicity material together for MOPS- and got the newsletter in on time
Downs- now I have to distribute it- and start on December's newsletter so I don't end up leaving it for the last minute

Ups- figured out that if I designate M, W, F for school board and T, Th, S for MOPS then I can prioritize and get things done
Downs- couldn't figure out a way to include a set day for housework unless I want to give up my day of rest (not!) so I'll have to keep working on it

Overall the Ups are winning, although it may not look like it from this. The irony of all of this is that if I didn't have kids I'd have so much more time for all of my commitments, but if I didn't have kids I wouldn't have these commitments!
