Not Well Today

I don't know what's up with me today but I don't feel right (ok, enough of that, I can hear y'all now! lol). I feel extremely fatigued even though I got enough sleep, ate something, drank water, had coffee, got some fresh air..... I want to go back to bed even though I just had a nap with the baby. Ugh! I hate this. I feel light headed. My chest feels heavy (stop snickering. lol)

And the kiddos are FULL OF ENERGY! Go figure. I did manage to make a chore list for each of them (not Aidan, of course, but if I could figure out how to get him to mop the floor, I'd do it. lol). They've gotten almost everything crossed off their list. They seem to respond WAY better to chores being written on a list and needing to be crossed off when finished. Sure makes it less stressful for me, not having to constantly remind them. I wonder if that would've worked for my husband....? lol Oh well, that's water under the bridge.

I think I'm going to take them out back for a "race" soon. That's what I do when they are really wound up.....make them race back and forth to the park behind our house. It IS nice outside today and the swing IS cozy & folds down into a bed...... :-) I know I'd fall asleep, though. ha ha God knows that won't go well. lol

Oh.....I think I know what's going on.....I made a taco salad a little bit ago with a huge pile of cheddar cheese on it. This might just be a simple dairy overload. I'm allergic to dairy but I try to fly under the radar. Maybe I soared too high today. lol Now, I feel dumb but glad that it's something simple and temporary and not pre-heart attack symptoms (yes, I worry like that after getting the embolism).

Alrighty then, back to your regularly scheduled show. Have a good Mother's Day tomorrow all of you MOTHERLY-TYPE people. :-) My kids have been cooking up some kind of surprises. Lots of whispering and yelling, "Mommy, don't come in here!" My husband even said he had gotten me a Mother's Day present but forgot to leave it here when he was up last weekend. Miracles never cease, I suppose. :-) Even just the THOUGHT meant a lot to me. Josiah wrote on the calendar for tomorrow: "no presents for you! lol j/k". Gotta love a joker like that. :-)

Speaking of him being a joker, I have to share some of the pics I took of him and Casey during a "photo shoot" of them recently. He's such a ham. Okay, he gets it honest. His dad and I are both that way. :-)





Oh my goodness, I think I'm going to "race" to the park, my own self. Oy, so tired. Yeah, except there's that bladder thing from delivering all of these ginormous babies.....maybe just a fast walk. ha ha
