I am sitting here at 1 am in the morning, having been up pretty much the whole day. Granted, I woke up late, kinda this morning. Lex woke me up at 5 after going to bed at midnight, and I couldn't seem to find the energy, so he went back to sleep with us, woke up again around 7:30 at which time I got up until 8, went back to sleep until 9:30 when he woke me screaming because he was mad that Ben had left him alone in the living room while he used the bathroom, heaven forbid. Around 1 I started developing a migraine and laid down at 2 and woke up suddenly again 2:30 with things to do.
I feel accomplished with what I have done today, though. I spent individualized one on one time with all of my children. I haven't said an abundantly excessive amounts of "no" if I have even said it at all. I painted, moved furniture, marked the next wall for more paint, read, did homework, cleaned (very little), and been happy, in pain, but happy.
Tomorrow I am hoping to tackle going to church (hoping I still feel as good as I have today since I am getting over this sinus infection), work on cut outs for props for the photography booth at Lex's birthday party, paint some more, do laundry, clean my bathroom, write a 1700 word paper with correct APA formatting, clean my office, and again finish the day feeling accomplished and happy. I am also hoping to get in more basketball practice with Garrett and spend time doing something "girly" with Kimberly before both she and Aaron have to go "home". I hate calling it home when Aaron goes back to Ron's. I really am ready to have him home here. Aaron's one on one time will be spent painting and doing artistic stuff tomorrow. I am also thinking I will allow him time on the computer with facebook, since I am mean that way.
I still can't get over the fact that my little man will be 1 in less than a month and his birthday party is less than a month away too. I have so much to do to get my house ready for it. I have to get my office, living room, bathrooms, kitchen, bedrooms, etc etc spotless and ready for ridicule. I want it to be picture perfect. I want outside to look decent as well. I want my Christmas Decor up and ready to go. I have to get his invitations done and sent by Friday. I have to work on the decorations for his party. It's crazy. I am going to be so busy. And we leave on Friday to go to MA...and see Dad & Kelli. I am so super excited!!
