My Therapy..

All of us have our little things we do when things are busy and stressful.. Some of us have a glass of wine, some of us go for a run or work out... what I do.. is soak in the bath. Its one of the most best parts of my night. I love a bath.. I was laying in the hot water tonight thinking about everything from my busy day.. to my even more busy day tomorrow. I finally just closed my eyes and laid there till I nearly fell asleep.

Sometime over Christmas I received these..

Bath and shower gels. I was under the cabinet searching for something earlier and saw these sitting in the back.. I used the one on the left. I just used it as a shower gel.. not a bubble bath and I loved the smell. It wasn't too strong..and it made my skin really soft. I am getting a little tired of raspberry though. Seems like this summer I have used more raspberry shower gels than anything. About time to switch it up!

So my day..

I started off running late.. I couldn't go to sleep very well without my pills. I did find some all natural sleeping pills in a junk drawer and took 4 of them to help knock me out about 400 am.. It was close to 5 am before I fell to sleep..

I ended up..

Staying in the bed longer than I should have. Laura and Jerred were coming our way so I needed to be up.. That just didn't happen. I woke up about noon and sat around for a while just taking in the quite moments of the morning. I loved listening to the birds when I let Cooper outside.

I got cleaned up and ..

off to the market I went. I needed to pick up some things for dinner and for the kids. I was still shopping when Scott called and told me that the kids were at the dealership. So I didn't get everything but I got most of the things we needed and rushed home because he was bringing them here right away. This was a late night for him. So it was just me hanging out with them until he got home..

So I got the groceries loaded in the car and zoomed home. I was here for about 15 -20 minutes before they pulled in..

They got all unloaded from the car and came in! All three of them looked great. Its crazy how much the baby has grown. She is walking now and into everything! Thinking I should have worked on baby proofing the house a little! She loves the kittens too. She was chasing them all over the place!

We all kinda took it easy for the most part. Laura got a really bad headache. I seriously thought we might have to take her to the ER. She tried laying down and came out and looked at me with tears in her eyes and told me something was really wrong. She took some medicine and I gave her ice for her head and after a few minutes, she was feeling better. She just had a migraine and she isn't use to how bad they hurt. She was at the beach all weekend and I think she got a lot of sun and was tired too.

Scott worked right up to 8 pm.. Well actually he was working till about 820. We were all starving.. Dinner was done and waiting on him..

We finally sat down for dinner around 845. Once he did get home.. some kind of car emergency happened where Michael was driving a car and a wheel came off. He was stranded on the side of the road and Scott was on the phone with 2 toe company's trying to get help. I wasn't too happy about that either. A late night and then to top it off.. more time used up once he got home for work..

We did finally all get seated to eat. I cooked Chicken and Rice tonight because it was fast.. easy.. and comforting. Everyone seemed to really like it even baby Ashylnn! I think its about the only things she sat still for all night!

After dinner we all kinda veged out in front of the tv.. I eventually got up and cleaned the kitchen.. started on laundry .. Scott went to bed and shortly after so did they..

It was..

For Brittany and Jackson. It was bitter sweet. I wanted to be there. I want to be there every year. There are a few times when I was there. Like the very first day of first grade for both of them...plus a lot of plays and events I went to see but I missed this year. I feel like not only am I missing out.. so are they..

Both kids both had a really good day.. Brittany said her male teacher was in fact nice. That Jackson also liked his teacher and how fun it was to see all their friends. I asked Brittany if she was tired today and she told me that all the kids were tired. I am glad they had a good day. Brittany called me the minute she got home. And I talked to her 2 other times before she went to bed. But I kinda wanted to talk more. I just miss them..

Scott is tired and stressed out right now. We both have so much going on right now. I didn't get much time with him tonight..We needed to talk a little but that didn't happen.. I am really leaning on him right now to get us through these complicated times. Its so hectic around here. Right now we are just trying to get to Friday. That's the goal. Then Friday our goal will be just get to Sunday night. Then its a busy time of packing and getting ready for the cruise. I think we both are ready for that vacation. Its going to be a lot of alone time for us in a very nice environment. I think it will be our reward for all the things we did for others this summer. Its kinda like good karma coming around. And that will be nice!

I have to be up by 9 or maybe a little earlier to get to community service by 10. I have no idea where it is and they told me my GPS might not work because it is a new building. Great..Morning.. and I am not thrilled in the least. I am just going to have to suck it up and get it done. I have no idea how long I am going to stay. I am hoping I can at least tolerate 2 hours. Maybe it wont be so bad! Just another thing that really needs to be checked off the list. I am betting I come home and try to take a nap in the afternoon. I figure the kids will sleep into the afternoon anyway. They don't seem to mind taking it easy till we go to the cabin. I think the beach wore them out.

So I hope you guys had a great day. I have a lot of emails to go through. I didn't have much online time today so I will try to get through some of them tomorrow evening sometime. Please understand.. we have a house full and tons of things going on! If its important and you are close to me.. it might be easier and quicker if you text me..

And Scott if you are reading this..

 

I miss you too.. and I cant wait for things to slow down and get back normal. Thanks for being the calm one today. I need that right now because I am worried about a thousand things. So thank you baby for being the strong one right now.. I love you very much..
