Ready to Relax

Today has been really nice and last night I actually got a good amount of sleep but I think the past few weeks are catching up to me.  I feel drained.  It's taken a toll on my skin too.  I have had more issues with breakouts in the last two weeks than I did all of my teenage years.  What a bummer to be 31 and still have to deal with that crap!  I think tonight, after everyone is in bed, I'm going to take a nice long, hot bath and give myself a facial.  I don't have the stuff to take a Seaweed Bath, which I've heard is great for the skin, but it will feel nice just the same.  :)

In Need Of Some R&R

My body is so tired these days that I think a little rest and relaxation is in order.  Maybe using some h2o spa products or something.  The problem with that is I am too uncomfortable to pamper myself and once this baby is born, I'm not going to have the time to do it.  So for now, it's just wishful thinking.  :)  Maybe I'll soak my feet tonight and that will help.  :)

Tired

Actually tired doesn't even come close to describing the level of tiredness I'm feeling.  Not only am I having trouble sleeping at night, once I do fall asleep, I either have bad dreams or I just wake up for no reason.  Last night, I woke up, couldn't fall back asleep and ended up watching an infomercial about the top 10 motorcycle gps's.  FUN!  I hope this doesn't last long because being exhausted all day and having a two year old doesn't really work well!

Busy Day!

What a busy day this has been!  Luckily, I've had a little more energy today than I did yesterday.  My inlaws are coming to bring us our camper and staying for dinner so I pattied some burgers, made potato salad and caramel apple salad.  We'll be having beans and veggies with it too.  After I made the salads, Lauryn took a nap and I was able to sweep, mop, vacuum, do the dishes, wash the windows and clean the bathroom.  My house is looking pretty darn good right now :)

After not being able to sleep so good for a few nights and then waking up pretty early this morning, I'm afraid I'm going to have permanent dark circles!  Correction, I actually already have permanent dark circles (I inherited them from my dad's side), so I should say darker permanent circles!  One of the night's I WILL be able to catch up on my sleep! :)

Yawning, Yawning, Yawning

I can't stop yawning today!  Yesterday, I cleaned out my flower bed and filled it with new flowers.  I addressed 200 envelopes for Lloyd, to send his newsletter out in, then Lauryn and I went back outside and I weeded the garden and got it ready for Lloyd to till again when he got home.  We were outside quite a bit yesterday and all that fresh air made me very sleepy!  By 10:30 pm, I was fighting to stay awake so I could watch the season finale of "The Good Wife" but I lost the battle and went to bed.  I slept for about four hours and woke up when I heard Lauryn awake and upset in her room.  After calming her down and getting her back to sleep, I was wide awake!  Now I feel like I could fall asleep at any moment.  As soon as Lauryn goes down for her nap, I'm going to try to get one too!

Gonna Be A Long Day!

I woke up at 4:30 this morning because Lauryn was in her room crying.  I went in to see what was wrong and to calm her down and she asked me for some water.  I went and got her a little cup and two seconds after I handed it to her, she dropped it on her bed.  She got really upset about and I kept telling her it was okay and that I could change her bedding but I think since she was still sleepy, there was no consoling her.  After finally getting her back to bed, I went to lay back down and could not fall asleep :(  I had to get up at 6 am but I just wanted a little more sleep!  No such luck.  I got up, showered and got dressed and waited for Willow to come.  Lauryn woke up about 20 minutes after Willow got here and they've been running around, laughing, screeching and playing ever since.  I made two mini loaves of banana bread, did my hair and make-up and as I was walking over one of the baby gates, my slipper caught and I went flying.  I ended up slamming my wrists on the doorway to keep from falling down and now their a little scraped and turning colors.  To top it all off, I have a dentist appointment at 3 pm.  I am ready for the day to be over already! :)  Thankfully, Willow's mom is going to get out of work early and come sit here with the girls.  She's a lifesaver!  I can't imagine how difficult it would be to try to keep Lauryn occupied while I'm lying on my back getting my teeth cleaned!  Hopefully the evening will be be stress free and I'll be able to go to bed early!

One Tired Mama

I started a making something new last night for my Pay It Forward project and ended up staying up way later than usual.  We've been up for a few hours now and I still don't really feel awake.  Maybe when it's Lauryn's nap time, it will be Mama's nap time too! :)

I can't wait for this Pay It Forward project to be done with so I can post pictures of what I've made.  I don't know if any of the recipients read my blog so I can't post anything yet.  So far, I've made three things for each person, things I've never made before, and I can't wait to see if they like them or not. 

I got a very good start on getting my craft room organized this weekend.  It's clean, I threw out a bunch of junk but I still have to figure out where I'm going to put a few things and I still have to get curtains and some decorations.  It's looking pretty cute already though!
