My Weekend

I had a whole list of things that I wanted to accomplish this weekend including:

• washing laundry
• putting away the laundry (hate that part!)
  
• dishes and cleaning the kitchen
  
• baking back to school treats
• making jello with Collin
  
• getting Collin ready for his first day of school
• cleaning up my bedroom
• cleaning the dreaded "little boy's toilet" (insert scream here)

I really had to prioritize my list though since we spent all day Saturday shopping for last minute school supplies. I know, I know, I'm a procrastinator. In my defense though I wanted to go weeks ago. Eric just didn't think we needed another trip across the desert. So like suckers we went the Saturday before school. The supplies were really picked over and we couldn't find pencils or glue sticks to save our life. Seriously, no pencils? That's unheard of! I had to scrounge all over the house for any pencils and half used glue sticks to tide Collin over.

Then on Sunday I felt like absolute crap. I had nonfunctional fatigue. It took everything I had just to sit through church. One sweet man could tell I was having a hard time and came to give me sympathy. Even though he is a cancer survivor he felt bad for me! Probably should have been the other way around. He just has a tender side for those who suffer on a day to day basis. It made me feel better mentally to talk to him. Physically though when I got home I barely had the strength to lift my sweet girl out of her car seat. I even tried to take a nap (ha, like that would ever happen).

I bounced up enough strength after I "woke up" to start some laundry and made Jigglers with Collin since I promised him we would. Thank heavens that Jell-o is easy! Unfortunately now my stomach was nauseous. The rest of the baking I wanted to do didn't happen. My stomach was getting worse as the night rolled on so after packing Collin's backpack with what supplies we did have and finishing up some more loads of laundry, I gave up. Needless to say, the clothes didn't get put away and anything left on my list was skipped.

Que sera sera!
