I feel wiped this morning. I woke up with a headache and then proceeded to wash the truck myself after I took Mitch to school. I hate paying almost $20.00 for a car wash...it was so overdue on a wash. My head is still hurting and I don't feel like doing one thing around here today. I have been constantly going for a few days now and I feel like I have to take the day off.
Tuesday morning I had to make cinnamon rolls to take to the park for a girl in my ward who is moving on Friday. It is always so much harder than it sounds to get kids ready and all of the things we needed for the park. We had a nice time at the park. I hate to see her go. I really like her and her husband. They are awesome!! It's so sad to lose a good family in the ward. Anyway, I took Casey on to school, did my 3 mile walk with the girls, fed the girls and myself, picked up the boys, fed the boys, helped with homework, got the car packed to head over to the baseball field, watched Mitty's game, and then from the game took Emily and the boys to the School Play which was Jungle Book. It was fun and the kids really liked it. Toward the end of the play, Emily was getting a bit restless. It was only an hour. By the time we got home, it was jammie time and bed time.
Wednesday was busy with chores and laundry, a friend & her husband came over with their little boy for a bit in the morning, 3 mile walk with the girls, and then had the same routine but for Casey's game. We sat at the field in the cold wind for an hour to watch Casey play. He is doing so well. He has the cutest run. I guess it's only cute in T-ball. The coach would probably be irritated with it if he does it when he is older. Thank goodness I was able to get the girls bathed before we went so there wasn't so much to do later after the game. Ellie slept during that hour which helped. Todd met us at home and then I went to work out while the boys showered and got ready for bed. That works out perfectly. Todd then has the time to play with the girls by himself.
I didn't end up eating dinner until 9:00. After bed time routines and reading, etc. it ended up that late. For some reason working out causes me to lose my appetite right after. I don't feel hungry at all right after. I made the best black bean slaw. The recipe is from the show Guy's BIg BIte on Food Network. You put in a can of black beans (drained and rinsed), a can of corn, red bell pepper, green onions, tomatoes, cilantro, red onion, pineapple, some honey, salt, pepper, sherry vinegar (I only had red wine vinegar), cumin and jalapeno. I put in some red cayenne pepper because I didn't have a jalapeno. It is so good!! You then let it chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes or so. I couldn't wait that long. I am thinking that it would be good on fish tacos as a salsa/slaw. Had to share that new find!
Writing all of this is kind of making me sick....I feel very tired this morning eventhough I went to bed at a decent hour last night. It is exhausting me to relive the last couple of busy days. I hate that there has been something constantly on the schedule to do. And I'm constantly trying to fit everything into my schedule in my head. I do have to say no to some things.
On a side note for some good health news.....the dr. called me yesterday to give me my results from some blood tests and said everything looked great and that my cholesterol was really good at 137. I can't complain about that. Todd was like WOW..that is good. This post was kind of mess but that is what I feel like right now. My head is clouded and hurting from this darn headache. I hope this burning feel in my eyes will go soon.
