AHHHHH!!!! Just as I was thinking that my job was settling down for the year, and I could get back to having a life again (you know, friends, a husband, etc), things go crazy again!!
Work has been a HUGE stress for me the past month or two. In the midst of life in general with a two-year-old, which is fun and chaotic, I have been completely stressed out with work responsibilities. It seems like I haven't had a moment to myself in weeks and I am starting to go crazy!!
I have been trying, the past couple of days, to re-claim my sanity slowly but surely, but our schedule is working against me. We went to Wisconsin for a wedding last weekend (7 hours in the car both ways - long weekend!!). This weekend was busy with a church party, with more of the same is scheduled for next weekend (2 church functions and a family thing). The first weekend in June we are in Iowa for another wedding and a quick chance to catch up with our friends that we don't talk to nearly enough these days (but will be another 7 hours both ways in the car), and then we have a few days off before leaving for a trip to Mexico! I am actually looking forward to the end of June, when things will be calmer and I can begin to re-discover my friends and life again!!

Lazy
You know the feeling you get in the middle of the summer, when you roll over and know that you have nothing to accomplish during the day? The feeling of pure joy, freedom, and contentment and comes from a planned day of laziness? Now, if you have experienced that feeling, you know what comes after that day of pure laziness. The "Are you kidding me?!?!?" feeling of having to do anything. Nothing big, mind you, just anything other than lounge around.
I am in that mind-set. The "Are you kidding me?!?!?!" mind set. I am ready to be done for the summer. I am ready to have a break. I am ready to wake up and have nothing planned for the day.
I actually have nothing big planned for today. No big meetings, no big tasks to get completed, nothing but general work. And yet, despite really enjoying my job, I just don't feel like being here. I didn't want to get up this morning. I didn't want to drop Count Mackenzilla (long story) at daycare this morning, and I don't feel like getting back to work from my lunch break either. I am genuinely un-motivated!!
How many more days until summer?!?!?

A New Adventure
Today's Scoop...we started gymnastics.
It is a right of passage for many toddlers I think, and we began our journey into gymnastics tonight at 7:45. My daughter, a "big two" had a BLAST!! When we entered, everyone asked if she was 2, trying to see if she was in the wrong class because she is so big for her age. I said no, she is just 2. Then they asked me if she was about to turn three, and I got lots of surprised looks as I told them she wouldn't be three until November! At least it is because she is so tall, and already potty trained, not because of anything else!!
The teacher warned me that it would be a bigger workout for me than for my daughter, sine it is a Mommy-and-Me class, and she was right. It was a lot of fun though. The kids enter a special room for stretching and warm-ups, and then go into the "big gym" in a special fenced off area to do more activities It is basically a free-for-all on the toddler-sized equipment, with the teacher helping the kids try different things at different spots. My munchkin did sommersaults, jumped on the various trampolines, and had a great time walking across all the balance beams. It was a lot of fun for both of us, and certianly worth the money. She is excited to go back (as am I), and it will be a long week of her asking every ten minutes if "I go to mnjastics 'morrow, Mama?" It is cute though!
