Back to daylight

I slept like a rock last night.

Yesterday, I slept from 9am until 11:40am when I got up to go to the adoration chapel. I have an hour on friday every week to sit and pray and think. I know I could get someone to cover the hour for me when I work on Thursday night, but I don't like to do that. I like to get up, to go to the chapel and sit for that hour in prayer. I am deliberate about it. Yesterday was spent praying for my co-worker Jeanne whose daughter has just been diagnosed with cancer. I also reviewed the daily mass readings for Friday and the mass readings for this upcoming Sunday. John 3:16 is coming up this weekend - one of the shortest, best, gospels of the year.

After being in the chapel for an hour, I drove home, chatted with one of my sisters for a few minutes and was back in bed by 1:30. Up at 3:35 to go get Paul. Not really awake. Functioning, but not on all cylinders. Succumbed to the voice of temptation for something cold and sweet.... I don't really want to know how many calories are in a McD's Mango Pineapple Smoothie..... I should have made my own at home. Collected Paul from the Paluszaks and came home to watch Paul fiddle around with the Star Wars on the Wii. Mark was late getting home, we ate Mexican food and then I was SO TIRED that I just collapsed as soon as we got home.

This morning Mark and I were up at 6:25 - oops, I forgot to turn off my daily alarm clock!

Paul joined me to snuggle at 8:40. We read some from Grimm's fairytales. Now battling getting dressed, going running? and doing laundry. So far, blogging has won out. May go to a handwork meeting today to knit. May go to a Charlotte Knights baseball game with fireworks afterwards. Unclear what today holds. But I do know I am awake for it, and that is a good thing!
