No rest for the weary

I’m 36 today, but I feel so much older physically.  Mentally, well, we won’t even go there! :)  I’m tired from the time I get up until about 7:30 at night.  Then by 10 I’m wiped again.  I wish I could take a nap during the day, but that just isn’t possible.  Was hoping to get some extra rest while my parents were here, but . . .

First day my mom watched the kids my daughter cut her hair.  I love my mom, but when it comes to making kids behave, well, she just doesn’t and she doesn’t notice when they’re doing something dangerous, like climbing on the counters or things like that.  So, I didn’t get any extra sleep.  I did enjoy having them visit, though.   My dad painted the two kids rooms and now I need to finish decorating them.

I didn’t exercise much while they were here and we ate out quite a bit so my weight is not what it was, in the bad way.  And I still have to bake all my christmas cookies.  Thankfully most of them are being sent to relatives.  I’m not looking forward to having more company for Christmas.  I am getting back on my exercise routine, but I’ll mess with the diet thing after the beginning of the year.

Anyway, that’s life in this particular Cincinnati suburb.  Have a great Tuesday.

    I know exactly how you feel. My mother is always on her own planet and it drives me crazy. I feel bad for my girls especially that they are losing out on a great relationship with their grandmother. I just have to compensate for it and so comes the exhaustion!!!! I guess that is motherhood! LOL

    Happy birthday to you….
    happy birthday to you,
    happy birthday, dear Lassie,
    happy birthday to youuuuuu!

    Well, how’s that. You know, dear, when it’s bad, chances are, it can get much better. As it will. But as long as you are ’sinning’ with food, make sure you enjoy it, rather than feeding a guilt trip.
    I’m a Dec 4th child. Saggitarious babes rule!

    Happy Birthday. My dad is the same way with my son. Good job giving away the cookies.

    Happy Birthday! And I’m 37 and I can really relate to what you are saying. Sometimes I feel way older than I am. But, we have to fight it! We are only have a few years left in our 30’s so let’s show them whose boss!
