My Monday is officially done and quite frankly so am I. The only thing left to do is log off, turn the light off and the fan on. I am so tired. I feel like I have not quit since I got up this morning. I guess that is because I haven’t really. That is ok – because I knew it was going to be this way. However, I must say I am much more tired than I expected and a little more grumpy.
You want to hear something funny. Yesterday my husband told me I need to stop trying to be super woman. Well that is all well and good to say – but really can you give me some kind of directions on how to do that. I mean really . . . It is one thing to say it and a whole other thing to really be able to do that. I get up each morning before everyone and have to make sure they get up. I have to fix breakfast and lunches. I have to make sure everyone else stays on task to get where they need to be. I also have to go to work and then after it is all over I have to take everyone to their activities and make sure they have food and whatever special clothes and such for their activities. For instance today after work I had to go to the chiropractor and then take SAM to try on her prom dress for a last fitting. I had to get dinner for both kids because Jes had to be at ball practice next. All the while my daughter wants me to make it work out that she could see her boyfriend. (Of which I was unsuccessful) Then when I get home I have to change and get Jes changed and head out to ball practice. I was able to get in my run while waiting for ball practice to end – and when he finally finished a half hour late (2 hours to practice – really) I had to get gas before heading home. Had I known he was going to practice over I could have got my gas after my run. Anyway, then I had to head home where I spend the rest of my evening cooking dinner (of which I still had not eaten) fold clothes, chop up veggies for lunches and get things ready for tomorrow . There is still a long list of should-a, could-a, would-a’s but for me – tonight – I am done!!!!!!!! Everything else and everyone else will have to wait!!!
I’m sorry – I really don’t mean to have a pity party but there really isn’t anything in my but pitiful right now – as my daughter tries to call me on the intercom on our cordless phone. Seriously – I must go to bed before I hurt someone!!!!! I think I am going to have to put myself in time out! Oh my too late!!!
I guess what I wanted to say is even though my evening has been crazy – and really full I was able to stay on my plan today. I bought my kids Bojangles and managed to wait till I could get home to make my taco salad. I did have lots to do but I decided to go for my run instead of sit there at the ball field for a 2 hour practice (really – 2 hours). I know after my whining I may not be able to encourage others to do the same but I told myself that after spring break I needed to get back on track with eating right, exercising and writing my blog each day like I am supposed to. I hope somewhere in all this you will be able to see that staying healthy is possible. It may make you crazy some days but it is possible. I also hope that maybe if all else fails today I have at least given you a laugh, made you say Amen or at lease allowed you to see you are not the only one trying to squeeze into a smaller size cape!!! Good Night!
