This morning I had to change direction  and come back home to pick up an assignment that I forgot to print out. Thank fully I made it to class on time.  I had to make a concerted effort not to think about the telling of my story constantly throughout the day today.

The children got off to a good start and when I dropped off the little ones they both stayed without any fuss.

I actually woke up late and didn't get any prayer in until I sat down to pray with the kids.

My first class was very interesting, we did an assignment in which we developed parental strategy for child development at a particular stage in their growth.  We broke out in groups and my classmates all started throwing ideas out chaotically.  I waited and reiterated what they said framed by the key points of the stage description and they asked me if I would be the speaker.  I became engrossed in this project when I realized that it would serve as a presentation for my other class as well.

On the walk back I resolved to make a better effort to return calls and I called a sponsee who I have not spoken to much recently.  We had a lengthy and fruitful conversation.  In talking about his spouse I gained insight into the relationship with mine.

My wife tried to be lighthearted and affectionate with me a couple of times today.  I pulled away from this even though I had a good attitude with her for the most part.  I realize that this must be selfish and I am confused about my feelings.  I guess that I do not like to pretend nothing has happened and just superficially get over it.  Plus her delight was over material objects that she purchased.  I know I have to let this go or talk to her about it.  I am afraid that I must tell her some difficult truths.

When I arrived at my second class I realized that I did not complete an assignment.  I felt like a slacker.  I also felt negligent for not keeping up with the reading and not having my head in the information.  I tried to change my attitude and made a good effort to participate.  I spoke to the professor and completed the assignment tonight.

I got to lay with my sons and put them to sleep tonight.
I got wake up and get caught up on my work.

Thanks be to God.
