August 24, 2017

I woke up to rain and lightning.  When I saw that my group cancelled their run, I decided to cancel my run too.  I climbed back into my bed, tired and relieved to get another hour.  But unfortunately I never ran on the treadmill like I hoped, and that made me depressed a little.

I spent so much of the day trying to get ready for Back-to-School night.  I took the little boys to get Jimmy John's sandwiches and we met Greg for a few minutes of lunch.  After I dropped off Owen at school, Lance and I headed to the middle school to meet with the vice principal and to print off my programs.  I had worked all morning getting it just right, with the proposed budget on back and printing it off.  At least it felt like it took that much time.

Greg came through big time for me.  He came home and took all the kids out to dinner at In-n-Out and then brought them home, helped with homework and showers and put them all to bed.  I was so thankful to come home and see the house all straightened up, the laundry folded, and everyone in bed.

Back-to-School night went really great.  I gave my speech and did my part just fine.  I sat at the table, answered questions and sold more memberships and Thunder fundraiser cards.  I felt a little sick, to be honest, but I made it through and finally at 9 p.m. I climbed back into Greg's beautiful car and drove home.

I had to turn right back around and go pick up Emma who had been helping at the Varsity Volleyball game.  We came home, sat at the table, ate two bowls of Trix and talked.  It was late, but it was fun to talk.

And then as I was about to go to bed, I had that breakdown that I was worried I would have.  Greg was frustrated with all that I've been trying to handle, thinking I'm not going to be able to do it all.  I started crying and it all went downhill from there.  I finally went to sleep, but I've concluded that it's super hard to keep up.

And I never even did my run.  Boo hoo!
