My Therapy

One night a few weeks ago I was in a deep sleep. All of a sudden, I woke up because I heard my sweet son crying from his room. It wasn’t a panicked screaming sort of cry but it was loud. I was so tired that I yelled for him to come to our bedroom but he simply continued crying. Instinctively, I knew what was wrong.  I was a little more awake then and I remembered hearing this cry before.  I got up and walked to his bedroom.  I found him sitting straight up in his bed, eyes closed and crying this deep, hoarse cry. I scooped him up, carried him to the bathroom and stood him up in front of the toilet. Yes, that's right. He had to pee but he was so tired that he couldn't muster the energy to walk himself to the bathroom.  As he stood there, his eyes remained closed while he relieved himself.

There is a day right around the corner which many students and parents are anxiously anticipating. Graduation Day! This day marks a big milestone in a student's life. Each student had to work hard in order to get to this day. Invitations have been sent out to welcome family members and friends to be a part of this joyous, celebratory day.

Of course, these students all had wonderful and amazing teachers to help instruct them daily and parents to support them at home. In order to be advanced from kindergarten to first grade, or from first grad...

Hello Everyone! This past couple of weeks have had me busy to an extreme level. The balancing and juggling act has been almost too much to bear. In times such as these, I am so thankful for the unspeakable joy that I get from our God! He is amazing at providing just enough time and exactly what we need to get it all done. He makes a way where there seems to be no way. He extends us beyond our capacity. He fuels us, strengthens us and makes us HAPPY while we fulfill our endless list of obligations and duties! So this past week God has had me going above and beyond the normal cleaning that I do. I remember when I first began my organization journey. I went through many different organization systems before I finally found something that suited my personality. I like things to be easy and simple, mainly because cleaning, laundry, doing the dishes are chores that I personally do not enjoy.  But I remember what drove me and motivated me at the beginning of my organization journey...
