My Aunt Valerie said it best today, every phone call seems to lead to nine tasks. It definitely seems to be getting busier as we move forward with everything to get from Georgia to Washington, with things we remember to do or appointments that we schedule. Sunday is the memorial in Georgia, Monday is an initial meeting with some grief counselers for the kids, Tuesday starts formal Physical Therapy for the Youngest and Sister, Wednesday more Vet visits and family Lawyer talks, Thursday MORE VET VISITS, Friday Football game so Oldest can go hang with his Band friends for a bit (no playing until he's fully healed sadly). Add in starting at home school work and a Trunk or Trick or Treat event and whatever else comes up and we have a packed week ahead for sure.  But so far we are all chugging along and taking things day by day, although some children (all of them) have reaaaaallllyyy come to dislike the new device free times and structured bed times. Hopefully soon they will realize it's because this is how regular people sleep and that their old "just wake up and get to school on time" just isn't going to cut it anymore. (Also I need the sleep please go to bed already kids)
