So the week ahead for me is gonna be the hardest i feel ... each day has been stretched in time which i have to look after the kids! I also didn't really have a good start last night, I'm one of those people that really needs sleep i feel ... and well last night i just couldn't get to sleep for a while, there was just too much thinking going on to even consider sleep! ... then finally when i did get to sleep i kept waking up ... 4:30 ... 5:30 ... 7:00 ... 7:30 ... Thankfully God has sustained me so far today and i feel awake still and my illness seems to have almost fully left me so that is a positive!
Ill give you an example ... this is 2day ...my day started just before 8 today instead of the normal 8:15 and still goes through until 12:00. Then Normally they have a hour for lunch which gives us time to eat and for either Sarah or Tommy to put Joshua to sleep ... but this week its been cut to just 30Min's so i get the kids from 12:30 and have to take Joshua to bed whereas he would rather be staying with mum and dad, today he seemed quiet happy about it all, which i have to say was a relief cause Ive had a bit of a nightmare morning! (Tom being naughty and Joshua just being grouchy) So now i have the kids all the way through till dinner at 5 instead of the normal 4!
2morrow I'm trying not to think about, but lets just sum it up with the fact that Sarah and Tommy have a practical in the morning starting at ... 6:30! so goodness knows what time ill have to wake up :(
EDIT: i just found the rough schedule on my sisters blog and have nicked it ... so here it is ...
Monday 7.45-12.30 and1-5 fire fighting instruction
Tuesday 6-10.30 Fire fighting practical, 1-3 fire fighting test, 4.30-5.45 meeting
Wednesday 7.45-12.30 and 1-5 CPR/first aid
Thursday 7.45 -12.30 personal safety, 1-5 survival
Friday 7.45-12.30 and1-4 survival, 4-9 water survival practical/dinner
So please do think about me this week, it means alot to know that I'm in peoples thoughts and prayers.
Hopefully next time i post i will be able to tell you all how wonderful its going!!!

Hope that you have a great week sam and that things turn out to be not how they seem now
oh stop moaning. Just kidding, you're doing a fab job and they love you - i'm sure the week will go quicker than you think and you can always go back to bed for a couple of hours at lunchtime tomorrow X
you ARE doing a great job. i hope your week won't be bad...just think, you don't have to walk into a burning building wearing tons of gear. praying your week will be good and your rest multiplied.
i appreciate what hard work it is but i would give anything (Well not sure about anything maybe not eeyore) to swap places with you!! all hard work brings a profit prov.14.23 niv i think the profit will be to learn more about how God enables and helps us etc and also in the very precious relationship you have with the boys SO keep up the good work there is a blessing for you for what you are doing love mum

IF.....
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IF you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
' Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,
if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
LOVE dad
