what complete exhaustion feels like. Day one of Y camp is done. I worked 12 hours ... and sat down for maybe 20 minutes. Holy #$%@! I am pooooped.
My feet are screaming at me. I have really great teva sandals ... but I haven't worn them since last summer, and after being on them all day, they are not too happy with me. I am sitting in bed ... kids are asleep, it's only 7:45 and they are just aching. I think a pedicure this Friday will be my reward for working too much, chasing kids and being so wiped out. Yes, yes, a pedi it is.
The day went really well. I think I run a pretty well oiled machine ... my staff were great, kids were super, for the most part ... had to have some "that behavior is unacceptable at the Y" talks ... but all in all, day one went on without a problem.
Matthew is enrolled all summer and it was fun to see him with his group, singing songs, playing games ... he didn't even want to sit by me at lunch. Such a big boy now.
He was sleeping, or so I thought, he just came into my bed and he wants to play a new game he learned today. Ahh, and yes, Grace too is in her bed, I thought she was sleeping and now I hear her crying and calling for the dog. Savanah must be laying in her room ... I can hear her, "nana ... nana!"
I'd get up but my feet hurt. Ha, that made me laugh out loud ... Mother of the Year. Excellent.
Well, I hope to have my eyes closed by 8 ... gotta be there to open again tomorrow morning.
Thank you Lord for my job at the Y. Thank you that I get paid to play, that Matthew can be there with me, that Gracie is cared for during the day, that this job, as long and as hard as I work is meeting the needs of our family. Lord you are so good to me. Amen.

Did I read between the lines right? Is Matthew sleeping in his own bed now? Or are you sleeping in his while he is in yours?
Also - how did weigh-in go?
i lose the mother-of-the-year award ALL the time...I don't think I'm even nominated anymore!! HA.
