I guess I reached my limit.

I have been running on brain fumes with frequent episodes of brain fade. My erratic sleep habits had gradually been bringing me down. With the recent demands of the past couple of days I crashed (I think my computer calls it a fatal error). I left the house Thursday before three in the morning and had made the trek to and from the metroplex by eleven o'clock, went in to the office to complete paperwork and shortly afternoon I was on my way home! When I arrived at the house I grabbed a quick bite of lunch and updated Krl on my day and then I got comfortable on one of the couches. Next thing I knew, Pat and Vanna were spinning that wheel! It was after six-thirty, I woke up long enough for Krl to tell me supper was ready and after a while we ate and went to bed. (I have to give "W" some of the credit for this, he could put anyone to sleep. By the way, the W stands for Wah! What a cry baby!). Once again I quickly drifted off and it was four in the morning before I got out of bed! Funny thing is I think I could do it again!

My day today will be consumed with catching up at the office. Two and a half days out and work will be backed up, add to that the fact that today is a payday and I will have plenty to do.

A couple of notes. O.K., I have to brag. A while back Rian had applied for a Texas PTA scholarship for his continuing education (towards his principal's certification). There are eighteen awarded annually, they aren't big ($500) but of course any relief would be appreciated. It took him a couple of hours to fill out the form and submit it. Last week Mr. Guerrero invited Rian to the monthly PTA luncheon in Lubbock this past Tuesday. Rian was recognized and received the scholarship! Way to go. Then he and Erica attended the LCU graduate school banquet, they were running short on time due to spring football drills at Monterey, meetings for the regional track meet officials and all sorts of other "spring" activities. When they arrived Erica told Rian she wished they had gotten there early enough to be able to sit with friends, then they were told they were seated at the head table.

Date night tonight. Krl is making the choices, I guess it is another Sadie Hawkins night. I am looking forward to it! Only problem is the gift cards are gradually being depleted. Oh well, in my opinion date night with my special sweetie is ........... priceless!

FATHER thank YOU for the restful sleep. I thank YOU for the safe travel on the road. I ask for YOUR presence in my day. I ask for YOUR healing for Krl, for Ollie, for Hag, for B., for Lillie, for Carol, for Michelle, for Aimee, for Ashlyn Kate, for Jennifer, for Victoria, for TJ, for Anna, for Jess, for those still recovering from the accident, for Yaenga, and for Dr. Mackie. I pray for those saddened by loss. I pray for those of us struggling in our journey with YOU. I pray for our spiritual family and our leaders. I ask for strength, courage and wisdom. Forgive us when we fall short of expectations. May my day bring glory and honor to YOU!
