Better Than I Thought

When faced with this day I felt many emotions, some of which were, annoyance, pity, determination, optimism, pessimism, and whinyness. (Please consider that I was only in day 2 of what appears to be a rough cold.)

  • Alarm was set for 7:19am, I pressed snooze and didn't wake up until 8:22am.
  • Presidency meeting at 8:30am (#$@!) until 9:30am.
  • 15 minutes at home for some Instant Breakfast and a bathroom break.
  • 9:45-11:15 I took Landon to band, read at the park, then drove him home.
  • 11:15-11:45 I showered and got dressed!
  • 11:45-12:30 Stopped at Wal-Mart for Dayquil and ice for the cooler (not pebble ice), dropped Landon off at Michelle's house, picked up Whitney and a boy from church from Art Class.
  • 12:45-1:45 Frantically got ready for Day Camp (i.e., pack a lunch, put on make-up, wrangle Whitney to get her stuff together, this time flew by way too fast).
  • 1:45-8:30 Go with the Activity Day Girls and 3 other leaders to Day Camp for some sweaty fun.
My day ended with a cool shower, Taco Amigo for dinner with a fresh cup of pebble ice (courtesy of Randy) and some quality time watching So You Think You Can Dance with Landon. I'm amazed that this day went as well as it did, but I'm still glad it's over!

Wow! You fit it all in. I'm glad it went smooth without a flat tire or something.

Get better soon.

Charlotte said...

I have to mentally prepare for busy days, or else I'm a goner. I especially have to prepare for busy weeks. If I'm not psyched up then my attitude when tired goes from apathy to grouchy. Yikes!

I'm glad your crazy busy day went so smooth!

I hope you have a calm day today!

I have way too many days like this

jenn said...

I definitely have to prepare for busy days but find even the craziest day can be salvaged by a good end.

I just started Vegas week- are you liking the returning dancers this season? I have to admit- I much as I love some of them, I'm feeling unsure about only choosing 10 new ones. Maybe I'll feel different when I pull out my Twitch glasses!

I feel nauseous and antsy just reading that schedule.

I am laughing at your comment...I have hurt my jaw yawning before :)

I am sick too...miserable summer cold makes everything else miserable too! Hope you feel better soon and glad your day went better than you thought.



And your day yesterday sounds HEAVENLY! Glorious was right!

michelle said...

I totally have to gear up for days like that. I am so not the kind of person who can live that kind of crazy all the time! I'm glad it was better than you imagined.

Watching SYTYCD at the end of the day cures many ills for me.

Hope you feel better soon!

I absolutly have to mentally prepare myself for days like this! Plus I have to go over and over in my mind the different time frames so I don't forget anything.

If you want the BEST decongestant ever in the world you have to buy it at the pharmacy but it is Musinex D. It is as strong as a prescription. That is what I took when I was so sick and it clears your nose and helps a ton. Good luck and hope you feel better.

Robyn said...

So sorry you're sick! I have it too so I can totally empathize with you. I hope that the medicine worked and you're getting past it now. I have many days that go along those lines and that tempo and it is killing me! Life just isn't meant to be that overly-scheduled and crazy. Glad you had some down time and good food to end it.

Becky said...

I felt stressed just reading your post...I really hope you feel better soon!

I've never heard of Day Camp for Activity Day girls...sounds intriguing! I definitely did not put on makeup before I went to Cub Scout day camp :)

I'm impressed that you can get up and go somewhere without having to shower first...my curly hair just doesn't work that way.

crystal said...

This is so sad, but SO many of my days are like this that it's starting to be the norm.

Ugh.

crystal said...

I second the Mucinex D comment. That stuff is a magic elixir.

crystal said...

I like to alternate it (or cocktail it!) with Advil Cold & Sinus.

But then, I am a bit of a druggie.

Michelle said...

I have to mentally prepare for pretty much everyday...UNLESS...I have no where to be...I love days like that!

everything pink! said...

For your next busy day...
