Tonight I am so completely exhausted. Exhausted from Joe's trip away, dealing with a sick bean (he has developed a cough from his ear infection/cold), and I feel like I may be getting a cold. I have that scratchiness in the back of my throat and bone tired feel.
Joe flew back in town late last night which led to an even later night because we wanted to catch up. Then Charlie woke up at 6am which literally felt like a smack in the face. Gosh now I'm thinking of the days when he was up every two hours- not sure how I pulled myself through LOL.
Anyways, I'm babbling but the point (and yes there is one) of this post was that five minutes ago when Joe relieved me of my motherly duties for the bedtime routine I decided I would write a list. A simple little roll of all the things I can remember I did today. And here it is:
- feed Charlie breakfast
- feed Malcolm
- make lunch for joe
- wrap a couple gifts for a friend
- change charlie into clothes for the day
- change three diapers

Wow, exhausting! That is quite the list, I don't think I'd want to write mine, I'd then see why at times I get so tired!!
Hope you DO get a great nights rest!!

I think a lot on your list would mirror my own. Hopefully you get some sleep!
