A longer post will happen later. For today, just two things:
First, a tender mercy. Tuesday was so crazy. After an already packed day, that afternoon I had to have the kids in two different places at the same time on opposite ends of town. I knew I could figure it out, but I was so, so, so tired all of a sudden. I rested my head on the table for just a moment to calm the crazy, and right at that moment the phone rang. A friend was calling about carpooling to one of the kids' activities and it helped SO much!!!! I realized I could ask for help (!) and asked another friend to help get Wade to and from--she helped me so much, too! Such a tiny thing, but that kindness opened up the evening for me and gave me the strength and sanity I needed to get people where they needed to be and then steal an hour of precious prep time before my institute lesson that night.
Second, our family has been playing this together as much as possible lately, a card game called Dominion:
Uncle Brett introduced it to us last summer, and our friends the Littons brought their set over a few weeks ago and played with us. We liked it so much that Jason bought it, along with an app for different game scenarios. It is a T-O-N of fun.
A nice break in the middle of all the chaos! :)
