so tired

i am completely exhausted right now. went in to work last night and ended up getting everything accomplished...but was up WAY TOO LATE!!! 7 hours later...anyway, felt good to get some things checked off the list- especially now because i don't have child care. unfortunately our day care provider has come down with the flu, which they believe to be H1N1 after she made a visit to the hospital last night. she is just awful and i feel so bad for her. she never gets sick. not one sick day in the 4 years i have been going to her. she is really rough and won't likely be back to work for another week. i just pray that my girls don't get it.

today was also a busy day. met with atmosphere interior design about our dining room this morning. we have to pick a table. this will help set the direction for chairs and wallpaper, etc. perry and i are disagreeing, but i think i've come up with a solution...custom made...go figure! they are going to get us a quote, but this way i will get a unique table that we both like. it was a good meeting...always nice to see curtis & trevor and catch up.

after our meeting, perry & the girls met me downtown. layla is horrible to take out now. it's that age. we shopped for a total of 20 minutes, ate in 10 minutes at the food court and went home...boy that was fun!

got her home for a nap and i went to the gym. i'm already feeling great about things. familiarizing myself with the equipment, feeling good about the work outs. i just feel like i appreciate the 1 hour i am taking to work out so much more than i did before kids. i better make it worth my while if i am going to take my (very limited) "me" time at the gym. i actually surprise myself that i can still lift a bit of weight. definitely not at the level i was when i first started working out about 12 years ago, which surprised me. i thought i would have to start all over again. i was assessed too. got to see how much weight is muscle vs. fat, etc. this gives me a good idea where i need to focus my attention. it was a real eye opener.

after the gym, i came home and got ready to head out to get my hair done. it was about time! i still need to color it, but at least it's cut now! i almost fell asleep in the chair. drained from lack of sleep, lots of activity and working out...and probably from being able to sit and do nothing for an entire hour...when does that ever happen?

tomorrow i am going to check out overhead storage. yes, i am admitting that we are already running out of space in our new space. becca, if you are reading this, please don't leave me...it could be worse...we could have too much space and not a need for all our product!!

i think i am going to settle in for some tv i pvr'd over the week...if i can keep my eyes open long enough!

have a good weekend,
