Busy Weekend.
Back from Tabitha’s Birthday party at Scandia (a fun centre for kids).
Class all day Saturday for me.
Stopped by my bosses home to pick up a stack of papers to mark today.
Did I mention I am fried?
Let me recap: Yesterday:
– Up at 7 for power hike in snow with Peter.
-In class by 9:00
– a 20 min lunch of a few cashews, a small yogurt, an orange and lots of tea!
-Meet Peter and kids in Pete’s office at 3:30,
-fetch van from parking lot.
-Drive family to Super Store.
-Tabs and I shop for treat bags and supper food. Crowded store! Stand in line forever!
-Home at 5:00.
-look after my darling Pup Fernando who missed me all day.
-immediately start making supper.
-6:00 gather children to table for their supper.
-flashes of neon light interrupt my vision. I can’t shake the flashing lights. So I lie down for ten minutes until they subside.
-decide to take it easy for the rest of the evening.
Today–my neck (along to spine) in very sore! I damaged it last week lifting weights and running on ice without wearing a sports bra. (This sounds silly, but seriously, I forgot to put on my sports bra , so I spent the run awkwardly trying to avoid bouncing!)
The flashing lights freaked me for life. But it was a wake up call. I need more down time & I HAVE to refuse to lift certain weights that I know make my upper back reinjured.
Any way, all my girls had a WOW! time at Tabs party. And Peter and I are so happy that our girls are happy. Pip was in there with the big girls every step of the way.
I really need more down time. I want to weep from pure mental exhaustion. But not until I finish marking 80 papers. Then I am saying “no more” to any future jobs until I am graduated with a PhD.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
