There and Back, #4

[SallyM]

lwb, instead of having someone like sots to follow me around, I wish there was a way to freaky friday with someone sometimes. how wonderful would that be?

my day was good. busy, but good. I was too sore to go to the gym this morning so got some errands done while S5 was in school, then took all 3 kids to get haircuts, then off to the mall where h's grandmother works for a quick visit (the kids don't see her much anymore). she tried to get me into a conversation about H, but I didn't bite, just was non-commital and turned the conversation on to something else. I feel bad because she is really upset about all that is going on, but nothing any of us can do about it until/if he ever wants to. she kept saying how good I look, which was nice. I think I don't look so distraught anymore, am sleeping/eating better, and working out a lot, so all of that is helping me look better than I feel.

I felt brave enough to take the kids out to a real restaurant for lunch, and I didn't cave to the rainforest pressure (wow, does that place get old). took them to cheesecake factory...nice to have something other than a burger, the kids were awesome, and I stayed strong and didn't have any cheesecake (go ahead, be impressed, lol). did a few things in the mall and let them go to a couple of stores they love to go into. by the time we got home, it was almost dinner. H called while they were eating and asked if he could come by, I said no problem, then took myself to the gym for some cardio after all. felt good...not as sore as this morning, and just cardio so not too strenuous. It was hard to get motivated...I'm really tired today. I have been most of the day, could just curl up in a ball and take a nap, so the fact that I pushed myself there was good. I felt wonderful after.

got home just as h was getting ready to put the kids to bed (he let them stay up a little late to watch some of the sox game). funny, there are some definite silver linings to living on my own with the kids. he was really irritated that the kids beds weren't made. I could care less if they are, they tear them up througout the day at this age, and as much as I'm trying to get them to stop doing that, I don't care that much so probably am not that stern about it. I just brushed it off and realized that its nice not to deal with stuff like that nightly anymore.

we never got a chance to talk...not sure if he wanted to. he started having a really bad allergy attack (seasonal, and I'm not around to remind him to take his meds...yep, I was his mother, what can I say, other than no more). so said he was just going to take off. not going to think further on this, although there is that part of me that wants to analyse it to death, the lack of chat about the weekend. nope, not gonna do it.

also not going to get to those 2 chapters....too tired. going to watch the sox for a bit then go to bed.

gee, in case anyone wanted to know about my day. lol. I guess I miss having someone to go over my day with.

big day tomorrow...going to meet the teacher/orientation at the twins preschool. yikes!
