Dear Diary, Saturday October, 27, 2018
The fatigue of doing it all has set in. That or my squat work out literally kicked my butt. Ouch. So, there you go for wimpy Mom. Can't even handle a squat work out from yesterday!
We have been so busy. I love staying busy. It helps me to not feel wimpy and yet at times it does. Because I am human and I get tired, so I feel wimpy. Makes no sense whatsoever so why did I even write that?... Hmmmm.
When I'm busy I don't have time to complain or wimp out. But, then I get tired and overwhelmed and that makes me feel wimpy. I'm just going to have to stale mate and realize I just can't get out of being a wimp. Did I say this twice? Fatigue is doing me in.
So, Kael had a soccer game at 6 last night. Kids were in bed close to 8:30 and then we got up this morning for another soccer game at 8 am. I have fallen in love with being a soccer Mom. I love cheering for my kids. It brings me so much joy. Driving them around a million places is hard, but the cheering them on part brings on so much euphoria, gratification, cloud nine, joie de vivre (googled it), ya, I feel that! It's fun.
After soccer the kids had a practice for our primary program tomorrow. Dropped them off and then I chased Connor around Walmart to kill time.
Then, we rushed Kael to karate practice. Fed the kids food, cleaned up a little. Dropped Eden off at a friends house and then dropped Kael and Elara off at another friends house. And finally laid down for a nap with just me and Connor. It was so nice. I only slept for about an hour before life came crashing in. I made cookies for the trunk or treat, cleaned the house (ya I really did! Almost all of it), cleaned the van for the trunk or treat and got out costumes and everything ready.
Picked up Eden, got everyone dressed for the trunk or treat and we took off with the Linck family. They were so much fun and I'm so glad we could go together. Sarah was a garden gnome, Robert and Ryan were chickens and Alice was a flamingo. It was so awesome.
Kael was the red lego ninjago Kai. Eden was a scary pirate girl. Elara was a fairy witch. And Connor was Spiderman. I had a small witch hat from the dollar store and put on some red lipstick. Scary enough.
We only lost Connor about 10 times that night. He kept running around the church or out the church doors. It was so frustrating. It was so full that I couldn't keep track of him. Oddly enough he was the only spiderman I saw that night though. Lots of other superheros, but the only spiderman.
The kids all completely filled their buckets with candy. We had two wards combined for the trunk or treat part and so there were like 100 cars lined up easily.
Somehow I managed to get all the children bathed when we got home. Even after bathing the girls and using make up remover they still have make up on their cute little cheeks. I just hope it fades before the primary program tomorrow.
Did I mention the fatigue of doing this all on my own? Cause ya'll (I'm a Texan now), I am TIRED.
Good night diary,
Signed your wimpy fatigued Mom
