Having a day..

Yesterday was a very hectic day... Cleaned house in the am, ran my pr, took the kids to the pool and to kids gym, cooked and cleaned up dinner and tried unsuccessfully to return a present (I really wish that "ONLINE" versions of brick and mortar stores would allow for returns at the brick and mortar stores... UGH!)

Today I planned on taking the dog for a nice am walk (done) and then actually taking some time for ME in the afternoon. Dad's on vacation and he REALLY needs some DAD time with the kids... Quite frankly, I am FRIED! I showered, dressed and even put on make up in preparation for meeting my sister for lunch when.... Emergency at work - server down - Husband gone. The timing could not have been better. I know he didn't plan it, and the woman from his office was in tears so I know it wasn't something she was prompted to do either. Let's just say it SUCKS!

It seems that the only time I have to myself these days is when I am running. I need to do that, but at the same time, I also need some real ME time... I tried to get a baby sitter - busy today, but she's coming Monday afternoon. I hate shelling out the dough, but I really have no other choice.... I love my kids, but I really need them to go back to school! Just a couple of hours and more importantly, a schedule really make my life that much easier...

On another note - I received some more donations this week and only need another $443.80 to reach my minimum. Hopefully the people that said they would donate really will. I am SO looking forward to having the fundraising pressure off so that I can fully concentrate on RUNNING! And, speaking of running... 8 Miles tomorrow!!! That will bring my grand total to 106 miles since 11/8/05! Good for me!
