Mission: Stop and Smell the Accomplishments

I really took my own advice this Memorial Day weekend and had some down time.  After work Friday I went out in the rain to the garden store to buy plants so I would be ready for Saturday. 

Saturday was super-accomplished with planting, took Deuce to "Kung Fu Panda" and had dinner with the neighbors. 

Sunday things came a halt for me.  Bob was working on the gate for our fence and I just hung out with Deuce and our neighbor's mom while he played with the neighbor.  We had a home cooked meal, vegged together for a while and after Deuce went to bed we sat and chatted under the stars.

Today was slow in the morning, then I went shopping!  That was good and bad.  Good because I got myself some summer clothes for work and casual that I was desperately needing.  Bad b/c I had a whole route and a bunch of stops planned which didn't happen b/c I left my debit card at home accidentally.  I was really annoyed with myself.  But, in the spirit of taking things in stride, I came home and got the card, did what I absolutely had to do and came home to enjoy the rest of the day.

I find myself thinking I could have done a lot more.  It's back to the grind tomorrow, so for now my mission is to stay relaxed!

What a day, what a week, what a life!

Despite being an a great place in life, and having a decent handle on all of life's responsibilities, and fun, I managed to get run down this week.

Apparently I have penicillin-resistant strep throat.  Hee haw.  I didn't know this until Friday.  All week I did all the fun things life has to offer (and some not-fun things too - organizing garage ahem) and finished up antibiotic round 1 Wednesday.  Friday morning when I woke up feeling like a pile of hot garbage, I had already made plans for the day/weekend and didn't want to cancel everything.

And now I'm so tired.

I saw the doctor, and went to the pharmacy.  I also went to happy hour and then over to the neighbor's house.

And now I'm so tired.

It's sunny outside, we have a babysitter coming over so we can go out to dinner and concert, tomorrow's mother's day...  and I'm so tired.

I have a stack of pages (located downstairs) that need titles and embellishments (located on 3rd floor), and I've been trying all day to psych myself up enough to carry everything upstairs.  I want a nap.

But the babysitter's on her way and I need to wipe the kitchen table.

Life is good.  And I'm so tired

ZZZZZzzzzz  ;)
