Give me meatloaf on Tuesdays

My husband, Chris' job has crazy hours. I'm not alone in this. I have a good group of friends who deal with the same strange schedules and the same frustrations of working around their husbands work. I'm not good at being flexible, but I've learned to cope. Chris has a shift change once a year and I always gear up and try to glide smoothly into change as if I liked it. But lately he has all sorts of training and his day's and nights are never, NEVER the same. I schedule a play date and then he's there that day, I schedule to go out- and he has to leave for court! I save up projects for an evening to myself and my husband has that night off!
I love my husband, and I love that he is the bread winner so I can stay home with our children. I support what ever he needs to do and I try not to openly complain. But I need a constant! I'm trying to be that flexible woman who rolls with life, but I am not and I don't really want to be. I want to be the woman who has dinner on the table every night at 6:30 sharp- OK, maybe not her, but some where in between. I know I'm really just venting because I'm not handling this weeks crazyness well and I'm looking for an excuse. But I'm also hoping for a little sympathy here. Give me something more consistent than just poopy diapers, story time whenever bedtime actually happens and a solid trust in my husbands love. Or maybe that's enough.

don't mow the lawn in your best bra

My son Grant had a 'get to know you' project his first week of school and had to come up a motto for his school year.

Always have Fun!

That's Grant in a nutshell. It was a great idea from his teacher and I've been trying to think up a good motto for myself. There is the "Goonies" motto- Never say Die! Or Peter Pan's, "Never Grow up". Great Grandpa Alex always said "Food is Fun". Proverb's are always good to live by- "Happy is the man that findeth wisdom." Or 'A clever person solves a problem. A wise person avoids it.' - Albert Einstein
One I'm really leaning to: "Chance favors the prepared mind.' - Louis Pasteur"
So what are your motto's? What words of wisdom keep you on your path of progression. Let's hear them!
