A Spirited Day!

I love my boys. Really, I do. Yet there are days, well many days that I wonder how am I going to do it? Do what? Make it till bedtime.

They have so much energy. Actually they seem to have an extra dose of energy. They remind me of a dog that has been cooped up… and just needs to burn it off.

I am so tired tonight. It doesn’t help that it has been raining a lot. Then this morning it had the audacity to snow! Shish!

We went and saw our puppies… which was great… but the plan was for the boys to burn off some of the energy running in the back with the dogs… but the weather did not cooperate. So their energy was pent up…

Then we headed over to a neighboring church where Sanj was playing for the Easter program. That wasn’t the best idea after a day of unleashed energy. Sitting still was more work for me than worth it.

I drove home wondering why I can’t have some of that energy. I am tired. Exhausted. I am one that has energy and then some … so I have been told. What will it take to keep up with the tribe?

Today I really appreciated Max for his calm and gentle nature. Thank you God… for my sons. Thank you for the energy and zest they live EVERY MINUTE of their day. There is beauty in that … please help me see it more. Thank you for the calmer spirits of some of my sons. Oh… and thank you for bed time.
Amen.
