I'm not going to lie. I am exhausted. I've hit that point of tired where I'm pretty sure that when I let myself crash, it's going to be remarkable. Unfortunately, that crash is postponed until further notice.
Last night my husband was whining-- I mean stating, that this weekend is going to suck. We are what one might call "over scheduled" to say the least. Today I had an IEP meeting and Behavioral Pediatrician appointment for our 11 year old. On my day off. Tomorrow, we have a baseball meeting (thank YOU crummy weather for postponing a game) for the 7 year old, followed immediately by a tutoring session for the 17 year old. I have to handle these solo because the husband has mandatory overtime at work. Then we are having two of my oldest and dearest friends for dinner. Sunday, we are going to my cousin's daughter's Baptism out in Yorkville.
I'm tired just typing that and am trying not to hyperventilate. But these are all excellent problems to have.

We have an excellent school that is bending over backwards to find a way for my son to succeed. We have excellent health coverage and found a doctor who shares our philosophy on using medication to manage A's ADHD. I had the time off to take a paid day to handle these appointments.
My husband is employed, full time, at a job he doesn't hate after 6 long years of finishing his degree and various periods of some very lean financial times. And they want him to work extra this weekend.

Our kids are healthy enough to participate in organized sports and our town has an excellent program to learn the game. Our eldest is able to take a break from his medications and is easing back into regular school, but still has access to a private tutor at no cost to us.
We had an evening where four, incredibly busy adults are all free to to have dinner together, for absolutely no special occasion. I have a friend that I met nearly twenty years ago, and we still love each other, and our partners fit right into that relationship. If that's not a miracle, I don't know what is.
We have a large, loving supportive wonderful family and we get to spend Sunday welcoming Eleanor Grace into our faith and family.
So, yeah on Monday, I will be exhausted. But that's an excellent problem to have.
