Go Red Sox!

The boys and I just got home from Wild Wings, where Mark stayed behind to watch Game 1 of the World Series with his buds. Go Red Sox!
Garrett and I got up at around 5:ooam, and it's getting pretty hard for me to keep my eyes open at this point. It's nice to get up early, though. Being able to have a cup of coffee and do a few things on the computer without any distractions is something I don't think I'll ever take for granted again.
I dropped off the boys at Grandma Niecy's this morning so that I could go to Community Bible Study, which I am loving right now. We are studing the book of 1 Peter, which I have never read from beginning to end. Our Teaching Director is Sandi Reed, and she rocks. I love how she seems so real- always relating her struggles to us. She makes sure we know that even our Bible teachers aren't perfect.
It's so nice to have family close by. I don't know what I would do if I didn't have built-in (and eager) babysitters pretty much on-call for me! Meme and Grandma Niecy have been such a huge help to me when I need to do something even as simple as go to the grocery store. Thank God for Grandmas!!!
I have got to get on the ball with Evan. I feel like I'm slacking in the parenting department with him. It almost feels like I'm letting him bully me into doing whatever he wants because I'm too tired to fight with him. But that's not very responsible, is it? I need to make sure it doesn't get to the point of no return. I don't want him to be able to take complete advantage of me and my temporary leniency. But for the moment, I feel like I would do anything to avoid a tantrum.
Speaking of that, they are having a tantrum seminar on Friday at the LifeSpan center. I would really like to go, but we have a playgroup at 10am- maybe I can show up late. I'd really like to know what I could do better to prevent and handle his tantrums, which seem to be happening on a way-too-often basis these days.
I'm not sure if this blog post seems as foggy as I feel, but I can't seem to find enough hours in the day to get everything done. The house is a mess, my car is a trashmobile, and I don't even feel like I have the strength to wash my face before I go to bed. I'm drinking Diet Pepsi Max (the one with extra caffeine), and I can still barely keep my eyes open.
Time to start a new to-do list for tomorrow...
