Things just don't seem to slow down. So Saturday morning, got up early - set Alex in front of the electronic babysitter, Thank God for Cartoons. Then Lauren and I did a Sam's Club run. Those are usually tiring enough for me, but to do it with her was even more so. I got home just in time to get Alex in his ball uniform and out to the park for baseball tryouts. We got there and it ended up taking about 2 1/2 hours. Lauren does not like to sit still for that long, and there was really nothing for her to do. Meanwhile Steve is home in bed sound asleep. So we get home after his 5 minute tryout - he was in the last group! AUGH. Lauren's throwing a kicking and screaming fit, because now all of a sudden, she doesn't want to leave, she wants to stay there. So I'm dragging, literrally draggin her, through the parking lot to the car. Just keep on smiling! Get them home (we live about 3 minutes from the park) and then I give her a couple of good spankings - stung my hand! Throw her in bed to try to get some sleep. Alex and I played 3 games of Disney Yahtzee. That wore me out, then I went out back and weeded the flower beds there, then back inside to the couch with Lauren - she never did take a nap yet. So we both lay down on the couch and cover all up and then I put on her cartoons and we were both out within 5 minutes. Very nice. Just laid around the rest of the day.
Sunday we didn't do too much, I planted some gladiola bulbs in the front, did a Walmart run, prepared the menu for dinners all this week. Something new I'm trying - preparing a menu for dinners a week at a time, that way I know I will have the food, we won't waste any of it, I can prepare some of it ahead of time...It's a really good theory. I'll let you know how it turns out. Anyway, went to bed early Sunday night - but just tossed and turned all night. I took my happy pill and my sleeping pill, but was still up all night. Finally about 3:00 am, I popped a couple of xanax and that helped. Of course now this morning I feel hung over. Can't win. I think I will switch to taking my happy pill in the morning, and just the sleeping pill at night. Maybe it's my Lexapro that is keeping me up. We'll give it a try anyway.
