whew!!

Well I might have over done it a tad today! I got up and helped get the kids through their chores and made pancakes, from scratch, with a new recipe I found. Then I laid done for a bit. It was 83 degrees with 94% humidity....do you know what 94% humidity feels like? It's just this side of raining!!! The floor in our kitchen was damp, as our AC is not working and we have all the windows open to catch any breeze possible.

So we went swimming. It was the first time in 2 1/2 weeks that I sat behind the wheel of a vehicle. Very strange. But I did fine, we went to our local resort and the kids swam for 3 hrs, why I played on my laptop (free wifi) and watched them swim.

Then we came home and the older kids got lunch while I laid down. Max came and joined me after he was done eating and he napped for 2 1/2 hrs. I should have napped but I came across this post (http://www.moneysavingmom.com/money_saving_mom/2008/03/cvs-101.html) and got sucked in. I was supposed to wake Max up after an hour and a half because he's been sleeping 3-4 hrs at nap time, but then is awake off and on ALL night and that is very wearing on his parents. I was not successful, he stirred an hour and a half into it, but then he went back to sleep. So I woke him up two and half hours into his nap and I had to pick him up and carry him downstairs to get him awake. As long as I was on the bed, even sitting up holding him, he'd go back to sleep!! So he better be ready for bed tonight!!

When I brought Max down I got started on dinner and pulling together the different things Brent needed for running his errands tonight and writing some thank you notes. In all I was upright for over 2 hrs. Then I laid down again until we went to the cabin to pick stuff from the garden with some friends. We just can't keep up with all of it and we didn't want to waste any of it. Now I'm home in bed, with three boys snuggling with me, can I say how much I love my king size bed and my wireless laptop!!

I'm feeling like I might have over done it. Hopefully there won't be to huge of repercussions. This is the first day I got back up after being up all morning....I forgot that though, so I didn't exactly take it easy.......
