Everyone I know is. The Spring is exhausting. I think it's baseball season that does it to me. The games aren't always at a set time and place. It gets rained out a lot. Then we have tournaments all weekend and I can't get anything done at home or take a nap.
Also, spring in a school is over the top cray-cray! We've got state mandated testing. End of year performances. Projects. Planning for next year. Field trips. All. The. Things.
The crazier my calendar gets, the sleepier I get. My bed is my retreat. I want to crawl in and let the world fend for itself. As glorious as that sounds, it's not realistic. I have to get up and face the world with all it's craziness.
I do try to stick to my schedule during these crazy times. I will be honest, I do sleep in more mornings and miss my Bible study and writing time. I try to make it up during the day but that doesn't always happen either.
When I'm feeling this way, the main thing I try to do is to give myself some grace. No one at my house expects super perfect super mom except me. So, I try to dial it down a little. More frozen food for dinner. More dishes in the sink longer.
There are two verses I cling to during my weary times:
I'm going to talk about them Wednesday and Thursday this week. Come on back!
