A busy Wednesday!

Today was busy - almost too busy! Got everyone to school on time and actually got to work at 8:00 in all of the traffic! Gave Sam his shot at lunch and did not feel well at all. I wanted to crawl in bed and sleep so badly. Yesterday I felt the same way - but no fever or anything, so I just kept going.

Will had a track meet in Avery. So I picked up Sam, and we checked out the book fair. Will wanted to stay at school to work on his school work until 3:00, so Sam and I headed to Lowe's to get him some fruit and to Boone Drug to get his insulin. We made it back to HP by 3:00 and to the high school by 3:12 - just in time to be caught in the pick up line! We dropped Will off and went home. It was so good to be home - for a few minutes! I realized they gave me someone else's insulin! The bag was Sam's but the insides were not. So back to Boone Drug on the way to get Andrew and Peter and then to take Andrew for a hair cut. Then we vacuumed and washed the car. Mack Brown is fixing some little things left over from the tree incident tomorrow. We stopped and got pizza and headed home - for a few minutes. Pete and I took the car to Mack Brown and went back to the high school to get Will. After filling out some paperwork for Sam and checking some homework, I am ready for bed. My head is spinning (literally), so I have tried out two of the low doses of valium the doctor gave me for days like this. I will sleep good tonight! We have a fire going to help ward off the cold temps - Sam's request.

So many things hitting at me today - a too busy schedule, paperwork, running errands (and rerunning errands), etc. I stopped in Old Navy on my way to get the boys and saw a friend I have known for years! She always saves me a ton of money when I go in which is very very rare these days. I only bought one pair of shorts for one of the boys, but I made a mental list to check to see if I need any others. They are having a great sale!

But anyway, I took that time after I realized what I was doing - reacting all day - and knew that I need to pay better attention and keep my priorities my priorities. I wanted so badly to get Andrew's x-ray and send it today, but I did not have time. The boys' meet was moved to tomorrow in Hickory, so I am working that out with Pete. That takes precedence over other things - but then there is the shortage of test strips - I think I can get them at lunch time tomorrow!

Sometimes I have to do what I have to do. I just read in a devotional while sitting at the high school that our good deeds are nothing unless we do them in His name. In other words, no matter what good deeds I do, they don't count for anything unless I have repented of my sin and have that way made for me to God through His precious Son. So doing things in the name of Jesus instead of because I need to or want to or have to puts a different perspective on things. It should help me pick and choose easier.

Time for bed! Sam's numbers are high and just went higher! We'll be up again later checking him - it may be just Daddy tonight! Mommy may be a little too sleepy!
