Avoiding going to bed

Have you ever avoided going to bed with the subconscious thought that tomorrow won't come? This is something Steve and I have talked about multiple times. Don't get me wrong. I really want tomorrow afternoon to come, but I would like to skip tomorrow, the school day, completely. So this post and the previous one are both an effort on my part to extend this day into the next one.

I was buckling Lily into the car seat at her pre-school and she proceeds to tell me that she needs to go potty. Now, Lily has been completely dry for an entire week! So I don't mess with it when she tells me she needs to go potty. We go back into school to find the nearest potty. (BTW, they have the cutest little potties (sp?) that a 2 year old can sit on with their feet touching the floor) She does what she needs to do and then comes the funny part.

She stands up and puts her hand on the back of the toilet and lifts her foot to flush the toilet by kicking the flushing handle. This is something I do on a regular basis when using public toilets, but this is the first time I have seen my daughter do so. I suppose most toilets she uses are too tall for her to even attempt this feat with her feet (pun intended)!

I had a wonderful evening Monday. I tend to focus on how difficult life is right now with Steve away at school. My mom, Lily, and I had a fantastic evening. We had a great meal which mom cooked for me, hit Target, Pet Smart, and Sam's Club. With Lily going to bed with relative ease. Even now, it helps me feel better about the week and dealing with Lily's attitude at times.

I have had a couple of good days (comparatively) with school. I have one more day until Steve comes home. Two days left in this school week. 21 total school days left, but I am only teaching 14 due to field trip, testing, half days, etc. I CANNOT thank all you who are praying for us enough. It is probably going to be a hard couple of weeks, but all will be well! Pray hard for tomorrow. It seems that I have pretty hard days after good days especially when I actually vocalize the fact that the day(s) has been good!
