Stressful week

That was my week in a nut shell. I have had stomach issues all week because of it (still do), and then last night I had terrible leg cramps all night. I just couldn't go to work today. P is bringing me home bananas so hopefully at least the leg cramps will stop soon.

Bad headache=very bad mood

That was me yesterday. Every little thing made me mad. The kids didn't clean up after themselves all day, until I blew my top. P wanting to "help" me make dinner, he stood in the kitchen waiting to be told what to do. I hate that. I lost it with him too. He took the car and left for a long time. Which of course made me even madder. The kids and I had to get up to be at church at 8:30, P who had to go to work at 11 AM, stayed in bed. That behavior makes me even more angry. I guess it's no wonder my stomach has hurt something terrible all afternoon and evening.

Dear John

I think read this before, and I thought I had the book here somewhere, where I don't know. But it's the book I recommended for my book club which meets in a few weeks. I finally went out today and bought the paperback version of the book. I read a little this afternoon confirming I've read it before. R wants to read it. I think I'll let her and we can have our own discussion on the book. Do you think this is a bad idea? She's only 10.

Dance competion

My niece in PA will be competing on Sat. with her dance troop in Pittsburgh. Hopefully I'll remember to go to the site on Sat. about 7:30 PM to watch. The song is Fire Burning www.breakthefloor.com/jump/ #144

Field trip

I got to go on the 3rd grade field trip today. 2 long hours keeping track of kids as they ran, OK moved quickly from one display to another. P took R on this field trip last year and they had a lovely time. This weekend they are having a free family day, although panning for gold is $2. I will not be taking the kids. Rocks and minerals are fine to wear, but to study them or collect them other in jewelery is a bit boring for me. I brought home 3 little rocks for R, who loves rocks. J asked were his amber was? Sorry big guy I didn't remember (I only kinda remember having a conversation with him about this) nor did I take any money. R's rocks were free.

I so wish it was bedtime already!

I did not sleep well last night. I'm sure do to the fact that being home all day, (except to go to the eye doctor) and not doing much, did not wear me out. I was feeling OK, at school today. But after I had been sitting still for 30 minutes, waiting for J to finish his PT, I laid my head back on the wall and took a little nap. Not completely refreshing. But not horrible either. I'm waiting on the 4th load of laundry in the dryer to finish and J to get home from scouts, so I can go to sleep. I'm glad P bought me a big box of chocolates for Valentine's Day, but I'm sorry I opened it! Dinner wasn't so great tonight, therefore the candy tasted even better, after 5 pieces I put the box away, I could had eaten at least 5 more.

Valentine

Since P worked until 7:30 on Valentine's Day we celebrated with the kids dinner on Saturday. They played poker with their candy after dinner. It was so cute. The girls who don't play poker got out the dictionaries to help them know what hand is higher, very smart. Last night P and I went for a long walk, then got some ice cream on the way home. Today he's off at 4:30, so we may go to a early movie. J spent the afternoon, early evening with his oldest cousin yesterday, they went to see a movie then hung out at Castles and Coasters played a round of golf, did the bumper boats, and Indy cars. What a fun date they had!

Headaches of all shapes and sizes

The biggest physically one,was on Sunday. After church I just vegged in front of the T.V. for hours watching movies in the dark with ice packs. The week was long and stressful at school and home and trying to keep up with everything and everybody really dragged me down. I am hoping for a nice relaxing 3 day weekend. Nothing is to planned, p works during the day tomorrow, then 11-7:30 on Sunday, and 8-4:30 on Monday. I'm very thankful he has a good job, but I can't help to wish his was off more when we are.

Birthdays and been busy

Both girls are a year older! A teenager and one who hit double digits for the first time. We celebrated their birthdays and their cousin's birthday, who's birthday is 3 days before S's. with family last Saturday. Then P and I took S and a few friends to hang out at a mall. The girls didn't want us hanging around so we ate and did some walking around. The only things we bought was a birthday gift for one of R's friends and dice for school. That wasn't so fun! Nothing for me! The week whizzed by, all the regular stuff during the week (dance and scouts) and R had a birthday party Tuesday night at Pump it Up, and J had 2 physical therapy sessions. Wed. was no school, I didn't do a whole lot, took my sister to PT, did some laundry, and did the drop off, pick up for dance and S's youth group. Last night R had her party at a hotel nearby with an indoor pool. 3 of her friends were sick, R was beyond upset and 2 other girls couldn't come either. I thought it was going to be just her and me at the hotel. A last minute invitee called and said she could come, and R asked S to come. P and J got dinner for us and stayed while we all ate together by the pool but we took the cake back up to the room for later. The 3 girls got along very nicely. The were all sound asleep by 1 AM. We got up at 8:30, had a yummy breakfast at the hotel, then the girls played in the pool for an hour and a half before check out. R's party was her birthday present, and I think it's the best kind of gift, memories and not stuff. And even though it was very disappointing to her that more friends couldn't come, she'd like to do the same thing next year. We'll see, if she's still talking about it in 11 months.
