Running on Empty

This has been one of the busiest weeks in a very long time.

Monday we didn't get to sleep until 10:30 because of the big purchase.  I think that has caused us a spiral of tiredness.  Monday is usually a free night so without that we are all close to empty by today.

Tuesday was gymnastics and Ella only had a short nap.  That was the day she decided exercise was good and she ran and ran and then felt her heart beat.   Her and I were able to relax before getting Elizabeth from gymnastics but it still was 9 pm before they went to sleep. 

Wednesday was Faith Formation and our priest was having a teaching mass for the kids.  Ella had no nap and was filthy from a fun day at daycare so we just dropped Elizabeth off and went to show Reenie and Cindy the new van.  Ella fell asleep in the van before we got to Cindys.  We got to church and saw the kids on the altar and then we went home.  Ella went right to bed and Elizabeth soaked in the tub.  9 pm for her again. 

Today is gymnastics for Elizabeth and its my turn to drive.  Reenie is picking Ella up at daycare and I am heading to school from work.  Tonight Todd comes back from his business trip so after gymnastics and bath, I'll have the girls change into their PJ's and then we can run to the airport.  But, this is one time I am glad I am working 10-7 tomorrow.  We can sleep in a little before having to run to school and daycare. 

We are going to lay low on Saturday and go to church with Dad on Sunday. 

We need more than that to recharge but I am glad we are near the end of a crazy busy week.
