Today has basically been a big ol' waste of time. I got some laundry done, but that's about it. I just don't have any energy.
I'm really hoping the weekend goes off as planned. You can't tell there was anything wrong with my kids based on their behavior today. They're fighting as usual, King Friday.
I'm feeling very disconnected from the world today, even though I've gotten a lot of birthday wishes via facebook and some via phone. I still feel like I haven't made contact, though. Maybe because I'm so tired.
When did I start settling for less than best and deciding that whatever was good enough? I used to push through however I was feeling to accomplish what I though needed to be accomplished. Now I do whatever, if I feel like it and figure I and whoever else can deal with whatever is left. To be fair, I've been sick and I have my kids today, but still, the house will not be anywhere near the condition I wanted it to be in for the weekend. Who knows - that still might not happen. As it is, we'll be coming home earlier on Sunday. Maybe the getaway in September will be less eventful!
Liam is really starting to get into stuff - he's all over the place these days. Lorelei is really tired right now - screaming about everything, but it's already 3:15 and if she goes down now, she won't go to bed until late. I really like it when the kids are in bed before 8. The other night, when Bob was sick, all of them were in bed asleep by 20 of 7 - it was great! I didn't even know what to do with myself!
ttfn - I need something to drink.
