Much Better Day

OK so forgive me for venting yesterday. Sometimes it is necessary to release pent up feelings and emotions so that the next day can get better. That is what happened (as well as the person in question and I talked).

Today was a good day. We had a productive day at Explorer's and as always an exhausting day. My family is not a "morning" family so getting up with alarm clocks is never an easy thing to do. However, every Tuesday morning we arise to the wonderful sound of the buzzing of the alarm. WE groggily wander around the house, wake Stephen (not a happy time) and proceed to prepare for Explorer's. Regardless of how cranky Stephen is at the thought of getting out of his warm comfy bed when he realizes it is Explorer's day he is a bright ray of sunshine (well as bright as Stephen can get). He loves Explorer's. especially his Stage Combat Class (again with the weapons). This is the first class of the day and the primary reason for our early rising on Tuesday's.

From Stage Combat he goes to 4 other classes along with lunch and then he waits for Mom and Dad for an hour. Through all of it he is usually happy and helpful. He loves the other kids and he loves finding things to do. (Thank God for the Rainbow Steps room). He has made some new friends and for that I am grateful. it is worth the hour drive (one way) and the getting up early in order to see his interaction with other kids.

After all of this then we come home and what was last line of that kiddie song??? OH YEAH, WE ALL FALL DOWN!!!!!!! When we finally make the hour drive back home, fix dinner, sometimes fit swimming practice in and finally settle down to eat the dinner we fix we are ready for BED!!! So as I sit here at 8:22 finishing writing this I am very soon heading for bed. Unfortunately, due to the insomnia that accompanies the Chronic Fatigue I am blessed to have (Plagues with really)I don't always sleep well even though I feel physically exhausted. Oh the joys of being part of the sinful human race. (Thanks Eve!)

Have a good night and I will catch you all tomorrow. Remember that God loves us and He is in control, even when we feel out of control!
