ups and downs

so, today was "one of those days". full of extreme highs and lows. here's the timeline:

toby wakes up early, gets dressed, makes bed, cleans room, and unloads clean dishes from dishwasher- all before breakfast!!! major high!

have a meeting with aimee- bad news- major low, followed by productive meeting- another high.

get email from toby's teacher about a behavior incident- spitting juice at lunch- major, not to mention embarrasing, low!

miller takes great, long nap- and i sneak in a tiny one- high!

pick up toby from school- have to be a mean mommy and discuss the behavior problem- low.

get to toby's dentist appointment right on time- high. he does wonderfully well- high, while getting his first cap on a cavity (because it's a baby tooth, no filling)- cavity? low.

head to sonic for dinner and a vanilla diet coke for me- high!

go to phoenix art museum for the donation only admission night- high! toby keeps saying he's tired- low, then tells me all about abstract art- high.

exit museum to a gorgeous, stormy looking sky- high!

toby vomits shortly after pulling out of the parking space- low.

matthew and i clean up awesomely fast and well- high out of low.

toby's energy and personality that was missing at the museum immediately return- high! he's soooo funny!

matthew gets a phone call on the way home about one of his buyers losing out on a house offer- low.

get home, baths, homework, etc- always a roller coaster!

toby straight to bed, miller night nurse session- double high!

start obsessing about the incident report i'm supposed to sign- low.

bestie talks me down from my obsessing- neutral.

chilling out in front of dvr shows- high!

hoping/praying for a better and more even day tomorrow!!!!!

ah, honey...
Isn't it wonderful that God's mercies are new EVERY DAY?!
You didn't tell me about the VOMIT...that would have been enough for me right there. Yikes!
So glad you called me....please always do that. Love you!
