And life keeps going...

The light in the living room is dimming.  I am alone on the couch; Tim has crawled into bed.  My boys are "camping" in a play tent in Drake's room.  I can hear them talking and singing and having a brotherly bonding moment.  I am trying to settle my brain and my spirit after a roller coaster week.  Here's what happened, in no particular order:

• Drake was suspended from school
• Write In
• The greatest Mother's Day ever!
• Drake's five hour allergist appointment
• Tim leaving his job 
• Starting a new business venture
• Getting caught up on all class work
• The most painfully long soccer game
• A dear friend's mother died (F cancer!!!)
• The first fuzzy caterpillar of the season
• Campus parking ticket while attending a department meeting on campus
• New essay to grade
• Attempting to complete the LazyMan Iron Triathlon
• Moved a tree
• Saved $40 at Safeway in one shopping trip
• Nice weather

The room is almost dark.  I should close my laptop and crawl into bed, too.  I need my strength for whatever next week throws my way.
