busy, busy, busy

the last bday celebration with childhood friends
pretty huh?
lauren took this one!
wanted to skinny dip here.
i luv this picture!

...is how i've been feeling lately! it's 12:11am and i'm making lunches and trying to schedule my day tomorrow because trying to do it for the week is too much!
i went to the gym tonight (after fhe, of course) and was feeling a little independent so i went to vromans for a sec' and lauren calls me - no matter where i go they hunt me down like prey... she was all "mom i feelllllll" and then she starts barfing out of control. as she continued i kept flipping thru the magazine i was looking at and wondering when dad would hear her and take care of it. it's so sad when your kid calls you when your gone, and they don't feel good, and you're the only voice they wanna hear, and you wanna be there for them so bad but you also wanna check out that kitchen and bath magazine sooo bad too. it's a good thing ian came to her rescue. am i aweful? i still left. and when i walked in the door she was in the shower and ian was trying to clean without barfing himself but when he saw me he went back to his tasks and knew i'd finish the job. cleaning barf all from all over the walls, floors, clothes, bed, sheets, books and under the bed is just what i wanted to do after my body flow workout. it's just what mom's do. don't feel sorry for me. i signed up for this! seriously...did i?
actually the day wasn't all that bad. after school i took the kids to the arboretum and we had a very beautiful time. we all love it there. the kids explore and i relax in the sun. we took photos and smelled the roses.
so, i will get up at 5:30am tomorrow and do the body pump workout - try to pull myself together, and start my day all over again. it will be a marathon day too. it's all good. is this complaining? you ain't heard nothing yet!
i'm off to bed now. it's 12:53am. hopefully i can fall asleep.
update:
at 2:30am lauren starts to barf in our room. i so could not get up at 5.... i will have to pump way back to a hard body (ya right) in another life.

Ummmm, gross! Can I complain about the blue and gold banquet I just held tonight for 75 of my OC peeps ALL BY MYSELF (because, in my ward, I'm the only female in scouting.....and you know I'm not going to ask a guy to whip out centerpieces). The whole time I just wanted to be alone somewhere reading Cottage Living, but, oh yeah, they went out of business. So sad. Let's go the spa. Screw working out.

don't you love coming home to that? why is it that a mom can't leave the house for an hour without coming back to a major disaster. no rest for the weary.
