Things were finally back to the present and while there is still frustration and disappointment about the move the big behaviors are behind us for tonight.

I was spent...completely spent.

I know this is going to sound like the worst parenting EVER, but for our family we needed it.  I took the boys to Buffalo Wild Wings.  It was a calming event in their survival brains.  We hadn't done any of the things they had "needed" to do and I had given my word earlier in the day that we would do one.

So we did.

We actually were able to laugh there.  To just be a family and laugh.  It felt good.

Praises for understanding and the ability to move on and the grace God gives us when we mess up.
