If I could bottle up the energy my kids have during the 30 minutes before bedtime and then harness it with Bracken's ability to think and focus on so many different deep issues; I think I could solve the problems of the world.

But being that that is impossible; I'm just exhausted physically and mentally.

I hope the kids sleep well because I know I will!

My favorite line today came from the mom of a family Bracken home teaches. We had them over for dinner and I hadn't picked up all the toys before they got there. I was apologizing that the house wasn't clean(which I hate when I apologize for that!) and she said "I'm glad because it just looks like it is a home, it's lived in" Even if it still was a mess, she made me feel better about it.
