Man on man am I tired! Seriously, I'm exhausted...almost to the point of nonfunctional. I thought I was busy before but now I'm even busier. Maybe the busiest I've ever been, and I worked during grad school so that is saying something. It all caught up to me on Thursday. That is when I felt the exhaustion coming on. But wait, the weekend was right around the corner so I could make it. I taught after school Thursday so I was lazy and didn't cook dinner. We stopped at Papa Murphy's and picked up pizza. We ate it with James and Kara. We love hanging out over there place. Maybe we are there too often because Brent asked when we were planning on moving in :).
Friday was a normal work day but I was still so tired. Charity had invited us over for dinner. So after Brent got home we headed over there. I knew I needed to go home and go to bed but we were enjoying ourselves so much. So naturally we stayed too long. Saturday I woke up entirely too early. I started lunch, I had friends coming over at 2 for a late lunch, and then headed to the store to get the stuff for to make Valentine cards and decorate cupcakes. The Griffith kids were coming to play. I was excited for this because they are super cute girls. Elle came and played too. We made our valentine's, we made our cupcakes, we played dress up, we had a blast. And by the time they left, my friends arrived. I had no idea how tired I was during that day. But then around 6 after my friends left it hit me. I was at the point where all I could do was cry. And I couldn't stop crying. There was nothing wrong with me. Nothing at all but I felt so overwhelmed. Luckily James and Kara invited us over and we went and it was good. When I'm around others I forget how tired I am. Sunday, I barely got up for church but we went. Then after church I took at 2.5 hour nap. Apparently it wasn't enough because I still have no energy.
This is my life. Every night we say we are going to go to bed early and it never happens. By the time I cook dinner, clean up, relax, work out, etc it is always close to 11pm. But with all this being said, I love my life! I wouldn't trade it for anyone else's. Because I've never been so happy. Which surprises me a little bit; I'm more tired now, I have less money, I work full time, I drive way too far, I teach 3 online classes, my mom is no longer making my dinner, I'm doing laundry at 2x a week when before I did it every 2.5 weeks, I'm taking care of a household, I'm less social, I rarely get to talk to my friends any more, etc etc etc.
