I never anticipated last week being so mentally and physically exhausting . . . one I never want to repeat again.
Sunday: Church and parents show up for a surprise visit.
Monday: Finish up the newsletter for the SPCA and get it off to the printer; head to Salt Lake to the library and to visit the Martin garage door company for samples; decide to also stop by Standard Plumbing.
Tuesday: Actually got a little nap in and made dinner; Matt showed up to start roofing and spent the night on our tramp.
Wednesday: Went to check on Matt and took him to lunch; went back to Tooele to Standard Plumbing but no one there for us to talk to; still haven't picked out tub; got the proofs back from the printer; some mistakes that needed correcting; fixed those and sent it back, hopefully to never see it again until I mail it; fertilized the lawn.
Thursday: Meet with electrician for 3 1/2 hours and still never got through everything; ran home to meet the Sears delivery to accept our wall ovens and water softener; went back to the lot to finish with electrician and gt Tyler; headed home for lunch and then drove right back to meet with the cabinet people for 2 hours; finally got home but too tired to think about dinner; decided to get the grocery shopping done and took the kids for a Frostie at Wendy's for watching Alex; made it to bed about 11:30 and got up at 3:00.
Friday: Took Alex for his third hearing test in his left ear. So far he hasn't passed. Thankfully he did today so I don't need to schedule an appointment with the ENT. Met with the home theater/speaker dude and finished going through the basement with the electrician = about 3 hours. Ready for a nap. Headed for the neighbors home in Lake Point for a neighborhood party with ice cream and soda pop, the second night this week we've had ice cream for dinner. Kiersten wanted to know why we don't do block parties in Stansbury: too hard to decide where to cut off and stop inviting people. The women chatted and the men hunted down the vole that had dug a hole under our new concrete garage floor.
Saturday: Went to East Canyon for the day, came home and mowed the lawn.

Oh ya, we had swim lessons all week. And I had a sharing time for Primary to prepare. And a baptism/blessing program to put together for my boys. And plan a birthday party for Nate (thankfully his friends were out of town for a couple of weeks and I convinced him to put it off until they get back). And all my bills seemed to come in at once and of course everyone wants more of my money than I believe I owe them. Trying to work my way through that pile. And my kids have been left to themselves pretty much all summer. I'm embarrassed to see Ashlyn when she comes home from a friend's house with straggly hair and unbrushed teeth. I'm sure the neighbors are wondering WHERE IS HER MOTHER?
Monday: I had a serious melt down and wanted so badly to run away where no one could find me. I seriously thought about calling my sister Ang to see if she wanted to go home to Ferron with me for a couple of days, but when I called home today (Wed.) she was already down there. How dare she run away without me!
Yesterday: An okay day. Found out our shingles are priced way too high so we're back to square one looking for new shingles. Tried to take my first nap in a week: lasted about 20 minutes. Made a trip to Salt Lake to look at garage doors on homes. No luck. Driving through one neighborhood we happened upon a HUGE Primary activity complete with vinyl signs announcing the activity and police cars to block off the road! I'm not even going to try and compete with that.
Today: Went for my first run this morning and surprised myself by going 1 1/2 miles. My hips will pay for that for a few days, but it sure felt great to be running again (How do you stretch your hips?). Got the shingles ordered.
I know that "this too shall pass." But in the meantime my baby is getting bigger and I just want a little time to hold him and enjoy him myself. All I can say is thank you Heavenly Father for sending us such a content, happy baby who hasn't minded getting shuttled all over the planet in the last month.
