Full Day...

November 2, 2009

I'm so EXHAUSTED today. I almost feel as tired as I did when I ran the half-marathon. I haven't really stopped all day until I got home at around 8:30-8:45pm. This morning the kids woke me up at a quarter to 7---CRAZY since they normally sleep till almost 9 so that was WAY too early. LM took his name early so I was able to get a lot of cleaning done (laundry, dishes, vacuuming) and once he got up we left for the library. DD had her library class and we got books. I walked the kids over to a craft store that's close by and got some stuff for Fall at 70% off---I'm hosting Thanksgiving this year and wanted more decorations since I'm taking the Halloween stuff down soon. Then I took the kids to the grocery store and home again.

DH's mom got to the house as I was unloading the car to watch the kids for me. I put LM down for a nap but DD got a cat nap in the car and was going full steam. I left to help my friend unpack her kitchen and organize since they moved in today. I had to be back by 4:30, so I went and grabbed the kids and took them back over there. I grabbed left overs for dinner and we tried to do some more unpacking. I wasn't able to do much with LM crying and then also her 2-week baby crying. I was holding one or both a lot of the night. I finally was able to get to the upstairs playroom and organized it so there is only a box of stuffed animals, games, and movies to go through. It felt wonderful to get so much done for her.

I'm heading to bed now since I'm teaching tomorrow and am physically drained. I need to rest my poor little legs that never really got to sit down and take a break today. I'm so not in shape to do that much work. lol
