I have to try and get things back into perspective again.  

Mom is kind of flipping out, it is the stress of her rummage sale she is having tomorrow.  How many times we have told her...NEVER AGAIN  and she just hears what she wants and then does it anyway.  Then when we don't want to help, she flips out.  Lauren has been getting the brunt of her fits, not to mention Lauren has had to do a lot of the work for the sale.  I am not bothering to put anything in it.  I just don't want to be involved as I can't do a single thing to help.  At least it will be over with this weekend and I do pray that no one ever talks about it again in front of her.  Lauren has been super stressed out because of how mom has been treating her and that stressed me & EO out.  I just wish she didn't have to be so hard on us all the time.  just another couple of days.

Colton .... this morning wasn't pretty.  I mentioned something about how Abbie bought a projector to watch a movie outside and at first he smiled but then his mood when south.  Colton has been planning his party for a few months, pricing projectors and getting it all figured out.  IDK what was on his mind about it.  Actually it wasn't that bad, but it just kind of took me back.  He had just woken up a few minutes before I talked to him.  So maybe there wasn't any connection at all, it could have been any number of things that had him preoccupied.  He does have a lot going on right now.  He turned in another test, and did great on it.  But he keeps busy studying for school.  Plus he is working on his student talk for next week.  And there is a lot going on at work, and he does have to work and go up for a physical for the school (i didn't know he would have to have a physical just to go to college, but why not?).  So it could be all sorts of things on his mind.  

Lauren had a rough day yesterday with mom.  Then last night she found he missed taking some of her meds.  I wondered because she sure seemed out of sorts yesterday.  I even asked her if she took her meds and she thought she had.  Poor girl.  Yesterday was sure brutal for her !!!!!!!  She is laughing and doing much better today at least.

Steph worked 13 hours yesterday.  She still took time to sit and talk with me when she got home from work.  We hadn't really been able to talk in days... well before she left for her few days away.  We did talk one day on the phone for awhile, but still it isn't the same. She was sure tired last night.  She went right to bed after family worship.  

Which family worship went ok.  EO didn't think it went that great.  Well, we didn't accomplish all we had hoped.  But it sure was encouraging to the rest of us.  

I think I slept ok last night but I am just not sure, cause today I am sooooo tired.
