Random Thursday. . .

Today I was feeling emotional. . . for whatever reason. I told Charlie that I really needed to go and cry somewhere for a couple of days. . This was his tender response:

"Can you wait until I'm done with my finals?!"

Sigh.

Boy oh boy, this has been a fun week. A random day. . . Here's how our Thursday went. . I'll give you the run-down:

Got 4 hours of sleep. Got up. Got kids off to school. Had breakfast. Hopped in the shower. Changed poopie diaper #1.Worked on laundry. Cleaned up kitchen. . sort of. Fed cats.

Also picked up another dozen donuts that Aleia bought with her birthday money. Got Jeffy's T-ball uniform together for game and picture day. Took Eric a sweatshirt for track practice.

Endured indoor team pictures in the gym, next to the pool, (air heated to 80 degrees), together with 500 other parents. . . Raced over to the middle school for Tommy's concert. Showed up late for Tommy's concert. Took bunch of pix at Tommy's concert. Recorded quartet at above-mentioned concert. . . Wolfed down doughnuts and cookies, with half the middle school, in the band/orchestra room. Carted everyone home. Jeffy threw up. Jeffy went to bed. Helped Aleia with homework. Ran bath water for Jeffy. Unsuccessfully tried to awaken Jeffy. Warmed up chili for dinner. Went to pick up Clint from work. Got mail. Picked up Laena from the high school.

Put kids to bed. Collapsed onto couch. Got up to greet the Hubby Man. . Fell into bed. Died and went to Heaven.

And that was my day. Don't even ask about Friday. . . Suffice it to say that my Scoutmaster husband was off camping, on an island somewhere, at an overnight Scouting event. . Eric got home at eleven, Laena . . showed up at 1:32 AM, and the baby was up half the night with a fever that spiked to 103 degrees . . Fahrenheit.

Check Facebook. It'll tell ya. . . Mama . . is exhausted.
