Past that point

Remember how I said I was tired? Well, that has turned into exhaustion. And the realization that I am burned out and worn thin. Today was a tough day because I couldn't handle the things thrown my way at work. Not that I couldn't, but more that I didn't want to. I wanted to be mad and yell and scream and make sure my feelings and opinions were made known. Now, don't get me wrong. I didn't throw a tantrum; I threw a small fit. I mean, come on! I got griped at and belittled by a coworker because I didn't want to waste paper. Really??? REALLY?!?!?!? I got so worked up and upset and angry over a few pieces of paper. I'm pretty sure that's a sign. Just sayin.

Aside from work I'm doing alright. I made an apple pie tonight- I'm really starting to enjoy baking a lot more again. I've gotten so caught up in making meals that I haven't had as much time to bake and I have missed it. So after the pie is gone I think I'll be making Snickerdoodles from scratch. I love those cookies! Although maybe I shouldn't because I'm pretty sure it becomes counterproductive when I eat those then do my workout...

Congrats to Evan and Miranda who had their first baby- Violet! She is one of the prettiest babies I've ever seen and most of the time newborns are not too cute. I, for one, was not at all cute as a newborn. But Violet is really very pretty. Keep them in your prayers as they start this new journey of parenting!

Tomorrow I'm going to try on some bridesmaids dresses for a wedding that I'll be in this summer. I'm excited and hope the bride picks the dress I like!!! I'm also finally going to make it to the library because the rain is supposed to let up. Not that its the rain's fault I haven't gone, but I just didn't want to deal with the whole being wet and cold while looking for books issue. So tomorrow! Until then, I'm going to read The Outsiders, a book that one of the kids is reading in school. It is short though and I will probably finish it tonight!

Sometimes you just get tired

I'm very tired today, both physically and mentally. That workout video is tough but I have been sticking with it. Yesterday I did it twice! I don't know if that was a good idea or not but I made it through once in the morning by myself and once at night with one of the girls. I took today off because I had to pack up all of my stuff, go to 3 meetings and then drive to the boys house and work with them on homework and stuff. Also, I think it's good to take a break sometimes. But tomorrow morning I'll wake up and do the workout before my shower- I promise!

My brain is tired too. I have been working it hard lately (sounds kind of weird) trying to remember everything instead of writing things down, plan my future, plus I have been reading non-stop! At least I feel like I haven't stopped. Since Christmas I have read 6 books!!! And no, they are not classics or anything but they are long and I have enjoyed them. As cheesy as it sounds they really do take me to another place far away from work! Now I'm looking for more- maybe tomorrow means a trip to the library!!! My sister in law provided 5 of the 6 books but since they are moving she has packed them up! Now I have to wait until they sell their house and move into a new one before I can continue through her library. But I really shouldn't complain. The reason they are moving is great! Jason got accepted to law school at Baylor and starts this summer. CONGRATS JASON!!! Anyway, all that to say if you have any suggestions of what I should read please let me know!
