Up at 6:20 this morning (late), skipped breakfast. Left house at 7:20.

At work at 8:10 - working in Bellingham today. Juggled projects and priorities until noon, then had lunch with my boss, Kevin. Worked until 4:45.

Home at 5:45 (border lineup was huge). Eating until 6:00. 15 minutes of hockey - Buffalo Sabres beating the Carolina Hurricanes 1-0, then out with Gabrielle, Aidan, and Ethan to Ethan’s baseball practice.

While Ethan was practicing with his team, I threw the ball with Gabrielle and Aidan - they’re both getting better at catching and Gabrielle is really starting to throw well. Some hitting practice too - Gabrielle straightens her arms a little too early on some of her swings, but she’s working to avoid that and had 3 or 4 big, big hits.

Home at 8:00. Kids have to get ready for bed. Aidan needs to be changed; the older kids have their ‘reading time.’ (The choice is: go to bet at 8:00, or read and stay up until 9:00.)

8:30. Aidan’s in bed, Ethan and Gabrielle are reading. I can start to relax. Teresa reminds me of some work that I need to do in the gutters. I promise my Saturday away.

Tired.

(But, it is a good tired!)
