Last evening was kind of a rough evening...during a rough week. I am working every day this week, and I'm absolutely grateful for these opportunities. At the same time, I'm obviously tired and still trying to get things done around the house. It's also state testing week for the kids, so the school schedules are completely out of the normal routines. And of course, we are down to 30 days of school left for the year so we are all really ready to just be finished.
We aren't though, and things need to get accomplished. That includes laundry (necessary for Thomas's track meet this evening) and homework, etc. The kids are losing their scholastic momentum and while I can't blame them, it isn't acceptable. School needs to happen, and they need to be responsible about it. Unfortunately, I completely blew my top, and I absolutely hate when that happens. I hate that there was yelling and there were tears, and I know that is not the way to handle things. On the upside, as things calmed down, there were still lots of hugs and we always know there is love.
As always, I'm grateful for the new day to make a new beginning!
