Kristi posted yesterday about how she reached her 300th post which reminded me that I was getting close and should go check where I was at on mine, wouldn't you know that yesterday's post was 301 for me! Of course I missed it because I was so tired I could hardly write at all. Oh well, yea for me and Kristi.I'm happy to report that I went to bed at 11:30 last night and slept until 8:30 this morning so I'm officially feeling like a normal person again! Yesterday afternoon I was so wasted I didn't think I'd be able to stay awake until 7:00pm, but I got a second wind and ended up taking Lucas home and hanging out with Michelle for an hour, then came home and watered the lawn (which involves much sprinkler moving), did 2 loads of laundry, and vacuumed the house. Nice.
{Scary view of my room at the moment}So since I'm feeling awake today I took a shower right away instead of lounging around and feeling stupid when the neighbors come over and see me still in my pajamas with smeared mascara under my eyes. My mom called and invited the kids over to her house for the day (yippee, yeehaw, skipping and jumping for joy). That means NO NEIGHBOR KIDS here today and no kid chaos at all. I'm thrilled. My scrapbook room is covered in cds since I'm still in the process of loading them all into itunes. This room also has birthday presents, bags from shopping, and other stuff all over the place. My goal every day is to get in here and get things in order, but I've been gone so much lately or have been so freakin tired that I haven't been productive at all. So thanks mom for picking them up, having them over all day, and bringing them home this afternoon.
{I stood on my chair to take this picture, I'm overwhelmedby all of this stuff, but in a good way.}
**What are you doing today and are you feeling rested?**

After your post yesterday I made a point to get to be at a decent time and I feel better today. Not near as grumpy. I am trying to clean house today since I was gone almost all day yesterday and missed my usual Monday cleaning stuff.
Your mom is awesome to take the kids all day and I hope you are able to get things done as well as take some time to just relax. Aren't you glad you got the right sleep last night so you can use today instead of sleeping or feeling sluggish? So awesome!
lucky for you! i hope you accomplish what ever task you take on. Most of all have fun enjoying the quiet.
I went to bed a little before midnight and got up at 9:00, i had a full half hour to myself this morning befoer the kids got up.
I was going to get together with Jessie, but Kira might be contagious so I'll probably just stay home. I've been working on our Christmas stockings, I think I'll work on them some more today and do laundry.
I'll get your email or phone number from Jessie so I can talk to you about clothes for Josh, you are so nice to offer we would love to have some:)
oh my large photo of my face.
congrats 302!
just dropped family off at the airport.
i am so tired and sad , because i realized i didn't hug my sister in law goodbye. i almost pulled the car around but didn't know where to park it.
so off to the shower!
We just got home from going camping for the night, yes, again I did this voluntarily. We had a great time and the views are spectacular. I miss the mountains! Now we are getting cleaned up, riding the horses, dealing with flies and then going shopping. I still love your craft room, messy or not.
I am so glad you got some good sleep and had the day to yourself. That always feels so good (especially that it is quiet with no questions or demands on you !)
I was supposed to do laundry, pay bills, do dishes, and work on Primary stuff, but it was just too hot. Though it is much cooler than it has been, the heat of the last week has just sapped my energy. So I spent my morning on the computer and my afternoon in the sun reading a book. I know it sounds strange to have been out in the sun when it's too hot, but it's just as hot inside my house as out in the sun, so I might as well get a bit of a tan out of it, right?
I'm glad you got some real sleep. You needed it!
I love your room even when it's messy. It is really amazing the amount of stuff you have in there and that it is functional too.
I hope you had a good day without the kids, I wish my mom were close!
A day without kids, what a rare delight. I went to bed at 11:00 last night and though I did get more sleep than usual, I did wake up with a terrible headache. I was fearing I would be incapacitated and then where would my 15-item to-do list be??
Luckily I took some Excedrin and it did the trick nicely. Compared to yesterday, I had loads of energy and managed to work steadily all day long, with nary a nap. Or a moment to sit down.
So did you work in your room? If so, perhaps an "after" photo is in order...
Oh, I forgot to mention: 302 posts? Holy crap! I was just noticing that I'm on 175 and thinking that that was a lot. You're putting me to shame.
You must have got your good mail out, cuz I was a happy recipient. Thanks! Nothing like real mail and a thank you.
If I posted a picture of my craft room right now, it would be like the spider picture and you couldn't look at my blog. I'll spare you. At least you have hope of cleaning your mess up.
