301

The 300th post of the year went up last night, and it was a yawner. I'm afraid the 301st post won't be much different.

Schedules are crazy, the mama is tired, and the kids don't ever want to go to bed OR wake up for school. I'd like to think things will calm down in a couple of weeks, but I'm realistic to know that this won't be the case.

Maybe in 15 years I can sit down and rest...

Strike One

It was bound to happen: I missed a post.

My first thought this morning was "Ididn'tpostabloglastnight!!". I was so tired, after four days of birthday celebrations for Alex and Addie, that I fell asleep before 11pm for the first time in months. I slept until just before 7am, when Alex began a lovely keyboard concert in the hallway outside my room.

Oh, well. After seven months of consistent posts, I guess missing one isn't that bad, especially since my plan for last night's entry was this:

I survived Birthdaypalooza 2014.

Drained

We had yet another very busy, but super fun, week. I am tired; the kids are wiped out. I'm hoping to have some down time this weekend, because next weekend is our annual Birthday-Palooza to celebrate Alex and Addie's birthdays.

Each week, I tell myself that maybe the upcoming week won't be as hectic. I can't do that this week. In fact, it's starting to become apparent that I can't even say that next month won't be as crazy. We are a busy family, so I'll just have to quit promising myself an empty schedule.

With that, I'm off to bed.

Worn Out

We had a hugely successful Team Alex fundraiser this afternoon, about which I'll blog soon, but I am throwing in the towel for today. 

Exhausted doesn't even begin to describe it. Excited about the event and the funds raised, but so tired it hurts. 

Have a great week, friends.
