This Friday the kids were home all day.  I tried to do my schoolwork beginning with reading a chapter.  But, it was terribly difficult to stay focused on anything as there was constantly someone in need of something.  By midday I felt exhausted.  I don't think that this was from any intense amount of work, but rather from the intense amount of emotional energy I expend shifting my attention from one thing to the next.  I am not naturally able to multitask well between my work and the kids.  I am not sure if this is by nature or self-will but I am sure that I need to work on allowing God to change this in me.

I also applied for a job that is a good prospect this morning.

Today we watched the vigil of the Lord's passion.

In the evening I thought about going to a 12 step meeting but did not out of deference to my wife as I needed to be able to attend the meeting on Saturday night to meet with a sponsee.  Another reason I didn't go is that we are having a garage sale in the morning. I thought about how I haven't made it to a meeting all week.  I sensed that I have allowed my sobriety activities to drop in priority.

Thanks be to God.
