Eventful Day

You take the good, you take the bad, you take them both, and there you have the facts of life. Old theme song to an 80s show I used to watch as a kid. That about sums up our day yesterday.

First, the good. Beauty & the Beast Jr. opened last night. Kaitlyn looked beautiful & performed wonderfully. It was fun to watch all of the hard work they've been doing finally come together.

Feather Duster in the Beast's Enchanted Castle. I took the picture during intermission since the castle scenes were pretty dark.


Onto the bad. I have had several days in a row where I feel pretty tired. I haven't been sleeping too well. I call these days "survival days" where I do the bare minimum to keep life afloat. That means my first goal is to make sure everyone gets 3 meals, everyone has clean clothes to wear, & homework is completed. I consider anything else I accomplish a bonus. These days frustrate me, & I feel especially discouraged when I have 2 or 3 days in a row. I'm hoping to get good sleep tonight. I know I tend to have more of these days in the winter than the summer. I think I'll ask Stephen to pick up Kaitlyn from her performance at 9:30 pm tonight, & try to take a long hot bath, read a good book, & hopefully fall asleep before 11. I think I just need to somehow hit the reset button.
