This week...

This week has had it's ups and downs. And it's not over yet. I love consistency. I love it when things are nice and without chaos. I know some thrive on having an upturned life. That's not for me.
To give you the short version of our week, Monday was the pits for me. It started off with me being completely exhausted from losing an hour of sleep. Once we got started with schooling, we were on a roll. I was getting hungry but the clock showed me it was only 11:30. I decided to put all of my washed clothes into the drier and fix and early lunch. While dawdling around, I noticed the clock in the kitchen. 12:45 What?!?! We had to leave in 30 minutes for swimming lessons. So, we dropped everything, ate lunch, packed bags, put on a still damp jean skirt and headed off for the Y.
Low and behold, I was speeding. I was pulled over and got a ticket for doing 77 in a 65. So, at 31, I received my first ticket. With as much as I've sped in my life, I deserved it. The bad thing was that I didn't have my wallet in my purse. So, I was driving without a license... Yikes!
By the time we reached the YMCA, my head was pounding. And I was extremely uncomfortable in a damp skirt!
When the girls and I came home, Jay had also just gotten home. He was still in the drive way getting his things out of his truck. I hesitantly pulled in the driveway, dreading telling him about the ticket. As I got out, he jokingly said I needed to go to driving school. Haha, I showed him the ticket and said that I was!
There were other small things that happened that day to make my headache stronger but I sat back with a Chick-fil-a milkshake and gave it all over to the Lord!
Yesterday was nice. It was great chatting with a friend while the girls were doing their weekly class at the State park. After lunch, they played outside while I sat on the deck, under a blanket and watched part of the second season of House (thanks Misty for getting me addicted to it!) on my laptop on the deck.
Today should be nice and relaxing. Thank you Lord! We don't have to go anywhere until church tonight. Tomorrow holds a park day, babysitting, AWANA games practice for both girls at the same time as Becca's soccer practice.
This whole weekend has my stomach in knots as well. It's the first game of soccer season and the girls, at least Em, will have to miss it. They are committed to the AWANA games being held at our church this Saturday. Emily is on the sparks team, playing in the morning and Becca is on the TNT team, playing in the afternoon. Emily has to miss her first game but she's not upset over it. I think Becca's game is early enough that we can finagle both games for her.
The whole challenge for us is who gets to watch Becca's game and who gets to watch Em at the tournament? We both want to be in both places at the same time.
I hate the stress of being here there and everywhere at certain times. It makes me rush, hence speeding to my next destination. God is so in control. I don't know why I worry and get stressed over these things! I guess I need to work on going with the flow just a bit more!
