Weekend Warrior!

We have been on the go non-stop for.... well, forever it seems like.  We rush around trying to do so many things and fit in all the fun that we don't get to have during the week.  I love all that we do, but it's exhausting!  This weekend's schedule:

6pm  Hand express milk in the restroom of the Mexican place
7:30pm Arrive at Theatre and express more milk in the restroom since manual isn't very effective!

All night   Up and Down with Ben

6:15pm Leave for lobby because pounding head and loud music don't mix.
6:45pm  Re-enter for Lord's Supper (a wonderful time of quiet and reflection in the midst of the craziness!)
7pm  Dinner (YUM!)  Nurse Ben.
7:30pm Dessert Auction begins, head pounding gets worse.
8:30pm  Pounding head wins, take boys home.  Go to bed.
All night   Up and Down with Ben

If you actually read all that you'll see why I'm exhausted.... and why the workday seems like a bit of a break!  I'm realizing that I truly need to slow down a bit.  I'm not yet sure what to do for that to actually happen, especially since I love all that I do.  But for my health and sanity, I think it's a must.

Love to all,
Anita
