It's finally caught up with me...

Today, I am exhausted.  I mean, I've been tired before, many times before, but today...I'm.worn.out.  I am a stay at home mom to my girls, but this week has not been a stay at home kind of week.  Between church last Sunday morning and a family gathering the rest of the day, Monday I kept my almost 9 month old nephew most of the day, then took my middle daughter to an appointment one county away, home to make a quick dinner for my girls, then took them back to my mom's since my husband and I both had meetings at church.  Tuesday I went on an overnight field trip with my oldest daughter returning home on Wednesday in time to sort the mail, put on a load of laundry, make dinner then head to church and stay late for worship team practice. Thursday I went up to our elementary school for a couple of hours to volunteer and help some of the teachers out some.  We had pioneer days at school that day and all my girls were dressed for the event.  They LOVED it!

Today, I had my almost 9 month old nephew again.  Other than this past Monday, I hadn't kept him in almost two weeks.  This little fellar has the army crawl DOWN PAT!  He has always been such a good baby.  Naps well, eats well, plays well.  Now that he's mobile, this guy DOESN'T STOP!  He's so much fun to watch move all over the room.  Of course, this ups the anty for me as well.  I have to stay on him all the time.  He loves electric cords so I've been doing some baby proofing.  He's still soooo good, just much more busy and into everything now.  I still love keeping this guy.  He comes to my house a little before 6 and is here pretty much all day.  By the time his daddy picks him up, I'm worn out.  But it's a good tired.  Today was no different, I was tired.  I had dinner on the stove and decided to go for a run (I am trying to lose a few pounds lol).  I ran 6.6 miles in an hour which is my best pace yet.  Came home, finished making dinner, we ate, cleaned up the kitchen and I'd totally prefer that my rear no leave the couch again until bedtime.  

Tomorrow is a busy day as well, but it will be for a good cause and totally worth it.  More about that tomorrow...  :)
