Yesterday was a jammy day that was spent puttering around the house, doing school with the boys, having all three kids mess around with playdough, Tim and Devon baking zucchini bread from garden zukes, me getting a hall closet cleaned out, having ice cream for dessert ... just a mellow, productive, fun day where everyone was in a good mood.
Today included a leisurely morning, Devon and I running a couple errands, then going on a date to DQ (he had a free cone certificate from swimming lessons) and Christian Supply (he had a gift card he won at Baskin Robbins and a bunch of spending money). The weather is perfect, Tim's playing outside with the kids, we'll eat some lunch, take some naps, pull some weeds and enjoy Bible study at the church property tonight.
And remember how overwhelmed I was feeling a few weeks ago? Well, I came up with a schedule for our day that I think is going to help immensely. We did a test run for a couple days and it went well, but as long as Tim is home for the summer we'll tweak the schedule to include him in the teaching and parenting as much as possible. We're about to take a break until after Labor Day, then Tim will head back to work and we'll stick with the new schedule. I'm hoping that by the end of September we'll be comfortable in our new groove.
Life is good.

I'm glad things seem to be improving stress wise for you. Schedules can be a HUGE help and it sounds like you are on the right track with that.
Remember always that God gives us the strength we need to be good wives and mothers. He will continue to give you what is needed to make your work for Him on this Earth productive.
