I’m exhausted.

On Monday.

How is this fair?

The run up to this week has been chock full of busy Mum goodness. It started Thursday with our departments Christmas party. We went on a river cruise for 4 hours and had lots of yummy food and copious amounts of champagne (well, at least I did. I wasn’t counting other peoples drinks…lol)

Getting home that night was somewhat difficult as I was legless. Thank goodness Brian came to get me! I would have wound up in Mandurah had I taken the train home!

Friday, Connor was sick, sick, sick. He’s still recovering from this nasty bug that has had almost all of us in it’s grip. I stayed home and nursed my boy (and my head…lol)

Friday night, Chelsea had her work party AND a sleepover party in Two Rocks.. with boys..Eeek! I drove her up there after her work party (40 mins) then back to Maggy’s for a cuppa (45 mins) before going home to bed.

Saturday was just as busy. I drove BACK up to Two Rocks to get the girls (I was Mum taxi for 3 of them) and spent a little time up there wandering around the beach and taking photos before heading back to drop all the kids off. (3 hour round trip) Just in time to go shopping for supplies to make afternoon tea for Brian’s cricket team and opponents. Then of course, I had to get them to the club. Off again, more pictures and happy, sated, well-fed, men.

By that time I was pooped. Connor and I watched Resident Evil: Extinction before I headed out yet again to Mum taxi the girls home from the movies. They saw Twilight and I plugged my ears an hummed as they discussed the film (I’m not finished the book yet.)

Sunday I cleaned, and did laundry and generally tidied in the morning, then headed to the beach with Maggy for some well deserved relaxation. The water was gorgeous and in 38 degree heat, well needed! We baked a tiny bit under our million layers of sunscreen and called it a day to head back to hers for a drink in the shade

I met Brian back at home and we headed back to the beach with the kids and the dog (I felt guilty for going without the puppy in the afternoon) armed with an esky and fish and chips for dinner. We sat and enjoyed the sun until it dipped below the horizon and then we went home for some desperately needed sleep. Somehow, I got absorbed in Twilight (again) and wound up reading til well past midnight.

No wonder I’m still tired!
