Thin...

I am trying NOT to get overwhelmed or freak out...but I am feeling pretty dang thin at the moment. Proof is in the blogging; I'm writing instead of doing anything "useful". *sigh*

Okay...so last Thursday, I picked up the kids and we went to a waterpark resort. Arrived, ate, Beloved took them swimming while I got beds made, stuff put away, and jammies out before joining them. The waterpark was fun...and they had a wave pool! *wriggles* Swimming is fine, but I miss the beach and rougher waters! This was a treat for me! We swam until 9:30pm (two hours past the kids' normal bedtime!), got them to bed, and Beloved and I played a couple of rounds of Race for the Galaxy before going to sleep ourselves.

Too bad the dark-out curtains weren't enough to keep Boy asleep past 7am. *sigh* The kids played some Forbidden Island before we were up. After breakfast, we went back to the room and packed everything up and hauled out to the car before going back to the pool for a few more hours (check out was 11am, but our waterpark passes were good until 10pm...how's THAT for annoying?)

We left to find some lunch, wandered the small down a bit, and then descended on LeatherAnhk's family. The kids played and watched a movie while we played bridge and enjoyed dinner. We finally called it quits and got home around 10:30pm.

Saturday morning we were up and out of the house by 9:30am, heading to ChiTaG. We met up with Futhark and his kids as well as Rude13. It was fun...and crowded and a little overwhelming. We did pick up some new games (if you have young kids, check out Peaceable Kingdom...they have a great deal for teachers, especially!). By 3pm, though, I was pretty much done in. Beloved drove home, and Girl and I completely passed out.

Beloved went out with Sunshine that night, leaving me to my book. I ended up staying up very late reading and trying to figure out Puerto Rico online...

...which made me overly grumpy and tired when Boy woke up at 6am Sunday morning, bouncing out of bed and demanding to know what we were going to do TODAY...

oiy.

Beloved saved me. He took the kids to the gym, out to lunch, to a high school play, and THEN let me finish my bath after they got home. I really needed the quiet time! I did some laundry and finished unpacking stuff, finished my book...

*sigh*

Today is more of the same...cleaning, picking up, catching up with mail and bills, keeping up with Girl. I need to run upstairs and collect swimwear for the kids, get dinner started, and go pick up Boy...drop home for 30 minutes to finish dinner, pack it up, and get to the gym for their swim lessons...then we're meeting Beloved there, eating dinner in the cafe, and he's going to yoga while I got to TEAM...

The next couple of days...
Tuesday - meeting with the scrapbook commission job, counseling, pick up Girl at 11, pick up Boy at 4, dinner, grocery shop???

Wednesday - prep food for The Feast, pick up Girl at 11, get dinner started, pick up Boy at 3, dinner at the cafe with Beloved, TEAM.

Thursday - FEAST at my Mimi and Zaddie's house (for the last time, waaaahhhhhh!)

Friday - Hare and Hounds Game & Potluck Lunch

I don't know if there are plans for the weekend...I'd expect a village breakfast, but other than that? I don't know! Am I crazy, or does this pace just seem a little much? Beloved is so energized and excited...but...like I said...I'm feeling thin.
