I’ve had a fairly uneventful week, although I’m not exactly sure what’s been wrong with me… It’s nothing serious, so don’t worry; I’ve just been excessively tired, it seems. I keep blaming it on the weather being so cold & my body just wanting to “hibernate”, or something. But, in all honesty, I think I’ve just been “spoiled” by the fact that my wonderful husband works from home – makes it easier to take a nap while Alyssa’s taking hers! When Katrina was younger, her naptime was usually the span of the day that I would get most of my chores taken care of. But, lately, I’ve just been wearing out & deciding to get that extra bit of rest during Aly’s naptime, then when I wake up, it’s “crunch time” & I’ve got to finish all the chores, either prior to picking Kat up from school, or I work later into the evening, to accomplish all I’d set out to do. Hopefully, I’ll feel better next week & will stop making excuses – falling into the trap of “needing” that extra sleep during the daytime (which I *really* don’t need) & be able to “get on the ball” with things that seriously do need to be done around here…

Once I get caught up on things, it will be nice, because then I’ll have time for my hobbies & other activities that I enjoy, as well. One of my favorite websites just got back up & running this week, for example. Tulsa-Moms.com, the Internet forum board I joined a couple of years ago is a wonderful place for local moms to chat & discuss everything from what kind of behaviors they’ve been dealing with in their kids, to exchanging recipes, to just every day life, even if the topic is quite far from having to do with being a mother. I’ve met a lot of wonderful people on there, over the years & I’ve really missed hanging out with many of them at play dates & things in the past few months. This is mostly due to the fact that I haven’t stayed on top of the forum topics & don’t know when the get-togethers are, but hopefully, that will change, pretty soon. I was going to try & catch up a bit this weekend, but other things kept coming up, which made that next to impossible. So, I’ll have to start next week anew & see what kind of “free time” I wind up with.
