H had the kids last weekend and I spent all of Saturday flat on the couch even though I'd wanted to run and paint the kitchen. I didn't have the energy to do any more than that.

Today I have two appointments and the kids, also several errands that must be run, clear out the basement just enough that there's space for the new washer & dryer to come in, which includes the MOUNTAIN of laundry that has been delayed by the non-functioning of my old set.

Tonight I will try to give myself a mani-pedi. If I can get the energy together to do it all. D11 goes to bed about 9:00 and I'm trying to get to bed by 10 though it's really been more like 11:30 because I finish clearing up the house & kitchen after I get them all to bed and I need more than 30 minutes to relax before I go to sleep.

H was disappointed that I haven't been watching his favorite tv show. I guess he wants us to be able to talk about it. I haven't been watching mine either since I've been reading in the evenings and the TV in our room isn't really working very well anymore.

I don't even know what would help me recharge. If a full day on the couch didn't do it then it's a bigger job than I can manage at the moment.
