Undone

I finally crashed: too much exercise, not enough sleep, zero relax time. I never see it coming until I feel like I’ve been hit by a bus. I can’t even think straight. So…I am cutting back my workouts, and trying to sleep in a little later most mornings. I hope the small changes work. I am bad that way, if I can fit it all in, and do it, I do. But a few months later, that’s when the crash comes.

Mist is at a sleep over B day party. Tabs has a soccer game and then a dance rehearsal today. Tomorrow is Mist’s dance rehearsal. Sometimes I can’t cope with June. We’re double booked all month, having to choose between two or three things.

This AM I have convinced PJ to take the morning off to stay with me; coffee out, come with me to pick up art canvases from Opus, pick up Mist from the party with me. There is a parade this morning down town that I wanted to take the Pip to, but we are so busy shuttling the big girls every where we miss out.

Pip up all night with an ear ache–dosing her with Motrin and Tylenol. Will also fit in a Dr. appoint this morning before we start our day.

I have to beg our dentist on Monday to try and fill Tabs tooth again. I don’t want her to be sedated and go to the specialist surgeon next month–her tooth ache wakes her up each night! I’m supposed to book her in for an ultra sound too for her bladder.

And I need to take Mist into a specialist about her flat feet and ankle problems. Also an asthma specialist because she’s suddenly developed asthma this spring. It’s no wonder I want to jump ship and swim to some tropical island in the middle on no where.

I desperately need: a personal assistant, a nanny, a cook, a house keeper, a gardener… This is the blog where it all comes undone. Not to worry, I’ve downloaded 5 new meditation songs that I can hardly wait to use: jungle sounds, meadow sounds etc.
The Pic is Tabs last Saturday at her game. She rocks at soccer.

    MJ What the heck is going on? Why are you so burnt out?

    And on other fronts:

    Eagle has landed. I repeat Eagle has landed. The sphynx is in flight and the dodo laid an egg.

    I will be coming to your rescue next Thurs. Melissa.

    I find Miranda’s comments very puzzling too.

    Hey Melissa, I hope you get a chance to take it easy for a little while. Good luck with Tabitha’s filling. I hope you can get it done without sedation. I took Daniel and had him sedated and he had a terrible reaction to the sedation. It was awful, I wouldn’t do it again.
