crazy life as mom

seriously. sometimes my life feels so FULL. It is almost so full that a weekend with no plans sends me into a little bit of a panic. My mind is constantly racing with "what can we do next?" lol. SLOW DOWN MOMMA.

So this past weekend I drove down to see friend who lost her dad. My kids were with my mom (they had a great time with their Grammie). My drive was uneventful and I was sick so the meds I had taken before leaving did their job. I made good time getting down there and was overwhelmed with emotion through part of the drive. When I did get there to hug K-Sue I wasn't too overly emotional, which was probably a blessing to her. One friend off the edge usually takes another with 'em. ;) After all of the condolences were passed out K-Sue and I took a lot of her dad's things to good will. Unload central. We even went in to shop, didn't find anything but what better therapy is there (besides blogging) than retail therapy? We decided on lunch and sat and talked about everything under the sun. I love doing that with her. Her views are so different than mine, I love hearing her opinions and thoughts. We talked about her dad, what his death has meant to her, to her mom, etc. It was a nice lunch considering the circumstance. After our LONG lunch we went grocery shopping for her mom and headed back. I stayed for a little while longer just chit chatting and then headed back on my 2 hour drive back north. It was a nice visit. Sad, but rejuvenating. K-Sue is hanging in there and taking each day at a time. *hugs and strength to her*

Sunday was truly a day of rest...after picking up the kids from Grammie's, I came home and slept. My body needed it. BY Monday, I felt much better. Hubs had to work over so when I got home from work there was no waking him. I warmed up leftovers for dinner, ate, took Buggy to a friend's to play while I took Bubs to his t-ball practise. All the while missing my little bit of peace for the week at Al Anon. After practise we went back to pick up Buggy headed home for the remainder of the evening which included reading Bug's library book, getting cleaned up for bed and the alast, bedtime. *sigh* I am beat by the time the night is over.

Tuesday off to school and work, around lunchtime I get a call from the nurse. Buggy is not feeling well. Earache and slight fever. It really never ends does it? I got her a dr's appt for that night, called my mom to pick up my Market day because dr scheduled at the SAME time as pick up. So after a couple hours at home, we go get Bubs from daycare and head to the dr. We are EARLY and it is "well baby check up day" so instead of possibly infecting perfectly "well" babies I stopped at the park and let the kids play. I thought, wow, it would be nice to be a SAHM to let my kids come play more often, invite other moms etc. Alas, not so lucky. Anywho...get to the appt. Yep ear infection. Dr doesn't want to treat it with antibiotic. Wants her to wait it out and gave her a pain killer ear drop...can't think of the name. It is suppose to numb the ear, without affecting the hearing. I almost wish mine hurt so I could test it out too. *karma please do not get me* So she seems to be doing ok. I did keep her home from school yesterday, which Bubbas HAD to stay home too *cough cough, mom see?* We had a pretty laid back day. It was nice to throw in a load of laundry and clean the bathroom, but nice of all was CRAFT TIME. LOL. The kids get a kick out of me sitting down and making things with them. Guess it doesn't happen often *head down*. We made spiders, witches and other halloweeny stuff. We proudly taped them to our front window. It was nice. :)

Bubba's last t-ball game was last night. Kinda ready for the break from practises and game. My darn camera was dead. grr. He had some good hits off of the tee. It is so cute how much he loves it.

This weekend is just another crazy filled two days. Friday night - school function for Buggygirl, I volunteered to work it. :D Saturday birthday party and bonfire party (2 different events) and Sunday another birthday party. Life as a mom is crazy. I feel like I am going ALL over the place. It is so overwhelming at times. I guess I could just NOT go, but then you all know the panic that ensues. ;) I love being busy, but maybe I like complaining about it just a tid bit more. ;)
