I commemorated my 100 days with doing something I haven't done since college, bought some lottery tickets. Lol… You see, my son has been a little worried about this day for the last 20 days or so.

Is tomorrow really the last day? I'm actually a little sad about that. I need to decide whether to keep going or not. The last 100 days have been quite a race of sorts.

It poured snow at certain points and then rained at others. The cold bleachers didn't help either. I did my good mom bit and wore a sweatshirt, a down coat, two hoods and gloves. I even had a stadium seat and a blanket to keep warm.

Day 96 – Did you ever play the game of telephone? You know – one person starts to tell a secret in someone's ear, then they pass it on and inevitably leave parts out or exaggerate what they thought they heard. Then the last person repeats what was said to them and it really has nothing to do with the original secret or statement.

Today, we had drama rehearsal for our Wizard of Oz production. It strikes me so many times to not get overwhelmed because there are so many moving parts to a play. Every moving part relies on another moving part to make the entire production work and look good. While we are the middle of production, it is hard not to feel like it is one big mess.

So many things have been revolved around reconciling different feelings and thoughts I have with regard to God.

The girls and I left a foot of snow in Colorado to come home today. The wind was pretty severe as was the snow at certain times. When we got on the plane, there were a few people that were very concerned about the bumps we might feel in the air. They kept wondering if they would die. When you are on a plane, dying is kind of out of your control.

However, every once in awhile, God gives us a glimpse so we can see how it can truly change someone's life. Today, I got a small glimpse of that and am grateful.

Spiritually, I was looking forward to the time with God. However, I waited until the last minute (just nature of the crazy day I had) and instead of carving out time at the beginning of the day – I waited until I had nothing left to give back to God.

Track season officially started today and both of my older girls are doing track. I learned last year that I basically hold my breath during most of their events.

I only slept about an hour last night and today would be a day where I feel a little tired. Then, after having drama today, I kind of hit the wall.
