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.<\/p>\n<p>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&#8230; and just needs to burn it off.<\/p>\n<p>I am so tired tonight.  It doesn&#8217;t help that it has been raining a lot.  Then this morning it had the audacity to snow!  Shish!<\/p>\n<p>We went and saw our puppies&#8230; which was great&#8230; but the plan was for the boys to burn off some of the energy running in the back with the dogs&#8230; but the weather did not cooperate.  So their energy was pent up&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Then we headed over to a neighboring church where Sanj was playing for the Easter program.  That wasn&#8217;t the best idea after a day of unleashed energy.  Sitting still was more work for me than worth it.<\/p>\n<p>I drove home wondering why I can&#8217;t have some of that energy.   I am tired.  Exhausted.  I am one that has energy and then some &#8230; so I have been told.  What will it take to keep up with the tribe?<\/p>\n<p>Today I really appreciated Max for his calm and gentle nature.  Thank you God&#8230; for my sons.  Thank you for the energy and zest they live EVERY MINUTE of their day.  There is beauty in that &#8230; please help me see it more.  Thank you for the calmer spirits of some of my sons.  Oh&#8230; and thank  you for bed time.<br \/>Amen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I love my boys. Really, I do.
