"Good" Morning?

Good Morning!- or should I say "not so good morning". It was a really shaky one. Jeff is gone all week, he left yesterday morning. Last night was very stressful. We got home around 4 and then had to do homework, make supper, practice sax, homework, homework, catch bugs with Haley, Homework, ride bikes with Haley, homework, clean up supper, take Haley to dance, Jenna to the library to check out books so she could do her homework on Ancient Greece Mummification, then back to pick up Haley and drop Mikayla off, back home to take Jenna and Haley, get Haley in bed and asleep, homework, back to pick up Mikayla at dance, back home to get Mik in bed, more homework with Jenna. At 10, Jenna and I went to bed still unable to finish 3 questions about Ancient Greece because we just couldn't find the answers in our sources, we were not happy about that!


This morning-

Up at 5:30, had devotions, drank my coffee, got the girls up at 6:15, was informed by Jenna that I HAVE to wake her up at 6 because she can't get out of bed for about 20 mins. (sounds like her father)...ok so I won't go through all the gory details but by the time we got out of the house at 7:30, which I really should leave at 7:10, I think that all of us were in tears (including me). Mikayla just cried all morning, Haley cried a couple times, she is is not used to the rush as she doesn't go to school that early. Jeff brings her in at 8:30. Jenna had to throw all 4 lunches together, so who knows what we have. I ususally try to get them packed the night before but that didn't happen. No one got breakfast either. I have a major stress headache this morning. Luckily my class has art at 8:30 so that I can try to collect myself. I pulled into the parking lot at 7:44 and I have a meeting at 7:45, so I was late for that!!


Please pray that today goes better for all the girls, Haley was really clingy as I tried to "pass" her off to her teacher. Mikayla was pretty teary and her face looks like she has been crying all morning. Please pray that my headache goes away and I can feel like teaching today. Please pray that our evening goes better. Jenna has volleyball practice until 5, so perhaps I can spend extra time with the other 2; catching bugs, riding bikes, reading practice with Mikayla, making lunches, making supper, baths, while she is at practice. 5th grade is a HUGE step up and Jenna has been very stressed. We needs lots of prayer this week basically, with Jeff gone.

Ok- so now I am going to go grab a Diet Pepsi and try to get myself organized for the day.

p.s.- At recess, which I have duty today, Mikki came up and told me that she forgot her p.e. shoes so she will have to sit out. Sigh...
