yes even more catchup

Monday, June 18, 2007

wow- a lot to catch up on: Firstly I had a rough couple of days (and no training on them either, which adds to the weirdness of it) It wasn’t that work was bad Saturday: it was overwhelmingly busy, but if everything else in my life were up to par, it would have simply challenged me, and I do love a challenge. But things were rocky between Chria and I (Yes, PMS rears its ugly hopeless head again~even under fluoxetine.) I really didn’t feel up to going to my in-laws even though I really do love them. I wanted Chris and the kids to go have a good time without me, and they did. I would not have been good company. I was tired, overwhelmed with everything (I won’t put a checklist here). And I feel like I must own some time of my own. Selfish? I dunno. Mental Health, maybe. I also skipped church. I just feel so unattatched to everyone and everything. I am attempting to hone in the priorities of my husband & kids, house and work, training and PTA stuff.

Today was slightly better, as training is a natural antidepressant.The kids have only 2 more days left of this school year and I can’t wait to find out who they’ve got in September! I have always been blessed with excellent teachers for them, and I pray that trend will continue. I went to Walmart finally, after dropping Sienna off at Gram’s and hanging out a little. Got a lot done. Then TIS and OP allowed me to pick the kids up a little early, on the way home, and thankfully I did come early for CJ. He tends to become very overheated, more than other kids, and when I got there all the kids were having some outside time, and he was really hot. So I’m glad I got him early- and then we were off to Gram’s and there was a nice cool kiddie-pool waiting for him & Natalie It was very humid today. So that was nice for them. Brookie and Sienna took off and Sienna’s sleeping over there tonight!

Today was CJ’s long awaited 2nd grade "end-of-the-year bash" at Casperkill We all had a fantastic time- and there are THREE pools there! After finally talking CJ into going in, I hopped in (the three foot pool) and played with the kids, freezing to death! Then I had a chance while CJ was out of the pool to get into the 33 yard Oly sized pool, lanes & all. I only got to go across about 8 to 10 times, but it was great- I felt confident….here I was, swimming laps in a much larger, roomier pool without much in the way of, well, WALLS- and I did fine, mixing in crawl and breaststroke. It was COLD. We were there from 9:30am untill about 1:30pm! For the most part, Ceeg preferred the playground! I was nagging him about getting into the pool, I must admit. We had incredible weathr too. Then Mom called and asked me to go check on Gram right after we left, since Aunt So left and there was some sisterly dissention between the two. CJ got his BK and Mom let me fill up with her gas card since I was on empty! We stayed with Gram untill about 5pm, and she looked a little better. The kids really seem to increase her alertness level. But I am certain they exhaust her as well. Sienna probably hates me. I didn’t go to her show tonight- plus I later found out that I would have missed it, anyway….Tranquil Core went on first, muchy earlier that I would have gotten there. Plus I m nauseous- I need to be well since I have to work tomorrow evening.I just would not have the stomach and energy for loud (but good!) music and the lights, kids, sweat, etc. I hope she understands.
