Today is a better day...

Well, after my complete meltdown yeasterday I've decided that my kids getting older isn't entirely bad. I am learning so much from them, especially Chandler. Today we had to deal with the reality of letdowns...Chan tried out for volleyball and didn't make it...I was worried so I took her lunch as an excuse to see her and check on her. Well, she was fine. Actually relieved because she didn't really like volleyball and was only doing it because we said we'd try everything this year. And good has come from it all...the cross country coach talked to her becasue they saw through volleyball tryouts that she was a really good runner. Proof that "all things work together for good for those who love God" Way to go Chandler Paige, I am so proud of you baby girl!

I am tired...

Can I say that....I AM TIRED...tired of everything around me moving so fast...and I know some moms look forward to the day their kids go back to school but right now I am sad...I miss my kids...the reality is here... more now than ever... that my kids are growing up and every day I waste is one that I will never get back. Now I'm not throwing a pity party, there are super exciting things happening in the Lacefield family. Chandler started Middle School but I don't take her to school on most days because she has to go at 6:45 for athletics. I don't see her again until after 4:00 and we have homework and soccer and church. Riley is playing football which he loves but he and Chad have practice three days a week for 2+ hours. I work most days and spend aprox 30 minutes at home that isn't eating, showering, sleeping or gettig ready for something. I pray for(and need prayer for) the peace that surpasses ALL understanding for me and my family right now. Sorry to those that ar e reading this as a result of my complete mom meltdown!!!!!
