is it time to hibernate yet?

This week may do me in. We had our marathon Tuesday, followed by major Birthday Wednesday. And today? Yeah. Bigger. We spent the morning at preschool, setting up the gym for the Family Fun Night event (like an indoor carnival). We lunched with David, went to Walmart to spend Dennis' birthday money, and came home to play for an hour and a half (well, he played, and I painted a wall with primer) before going to soccer practice at 4, Taekwondo at 5, and Family Fun Night from 6 to 8:30. I don't think I have known this particular level of exhaustion in quite a while. I don't see it really letting up until Spring Break (one more week to go, and I'll have to work all 5 days at school plus one at the gym). Wow!

Dennis is handling it like a champ. He has given up naps now that he's officially 5 (this is still in its trial period), and he just keeps on keeping on. I know how tired I am tonight, and I am not the one who ran for an hour at soccer and kicked and jumped immediately afterward at Taekwondo and then played hard for over 2 hours at the fun night. I hope he falls asleep easily and soon!

He made up his own praise song today, a heartmeltingly sweet song about Jesus loving us way too much and that's why He died on the cross for us. I'm so proud of his strong faith! He is an inspiration to both of us.
