Happy Memorial Day, everyone. I hope you are all enjoying the day, and remembering those who died to preserve our freedom to enjoy it in the first place.

I don’t have any fun plans for the day. I took the kids to the lake Saturday. That was kind of our Memorial Day festivities. We swam in the pool, picnicked on the dock, ate s’mores by the fire, and hung out with my family. It was good. It would have been better if Chris was with us, but he had to work. As usual. He always misses the fun, holiday stuff. The kids were funny in the pool. Kyra and Elijah were terrified at first. It had been the summer before last since they had been in the water. Owen, on the other hand, acted like I was cramping his style by not letting go of him. Of course, since I was in the water with them, I don’t have pictures, but, trust me, it was cute.

So, anyway, back to today.I am going to try to get the house clean and in order. Not fun at all. Chris would appreciate it, though, I’m sure. It’s bad when your husband says he’s looking forward to leaving because of the maid service in the hotel. Oh, yeah. I haven’t told you guys that. He may end up staying in a hotel, because they don’t have enough officer’s quarters for all of the Chaplains and Chaplain Candidates. They are having their largest class ever, so they asked for volunteers who were prior service to stay in either a hotel or a furnished apartment with a roommate. If he stays in a hotel, when me and the kids come to visit, we could just stay with him in his room. Theoretically, that is. We still don’t know how everything will work out till he gets there.

Well, I need to get started. I’ve been sitting around doing not much of anything. I paid my tuition for summer classes this morning, and have spent the rest of the morning reading blogs. Have a great day everyone!
