Tired and Cranky...

I SO want to go to this!!!


(vegetables from my garden!)
So lately I've been really tired and cranky...I think that the wear and tear of summer is getting to me! I'm having a BLAST with Linden (don't get me wrong) but it is a lot of energy that is needed to do things every day. I've been lucky to have help from Marian and my Mom though. It was so great, last night James and I went to see Toy Story 3D. I really enjoyed going out to a movie with James! SO GREAT!!!! I was also able to do a little shopping yesterday and found some good summer wear deals! We got home from the movie around 12 so needless to say James passed out ASAP and I followed...although I actually made it upstairs! haha.

I think my problem is nights. From dinner to bedtime I just feel like it is such a high energy time! Trying to get Linden fed...and me...which means a dairy and soy free dinner must be made (Linden seems to know what he can't have and if I'm eating it he wants it...) Even though things have gotten A LOT better with bed time...and I mean LEAPS and BOUNDS...it is still a bit stressful. Bath, Diaper, Teeth Brushed, Books Read, Prayers and To Bed...
I guess it is because I know what I all need to accomplish in such a short period of time...I'll feed Linden, find something to entertain us for a bit, walk/feed Bruno (a dog who jumps, doesn't listen, and runs away), then bedtime, water flowers, clean up kitchen, do a load of laundry, clean up toys...breath a sigh of relief...Unwind with writing my blog!
Our Daily overview...
Linden and I had a pretty low key day overall. Started off EARLY so he got tired and cranky fast. We were going to be going to the zoo with friends but Courtney got a migraine so Heather and the kids just came here...and she brought STARBUCKS!!! mmmm...that didn't last long, then Linden needed a nap. In the afternoon we visited at the farm, did a little errands, then went to the park...swinging and sliding. Then we came home for dinner and well, you know our evening :) I'm looking forward to having my Mom back...and James back...eventually!!! :) He is supposed to have some time off tomorrow...so hopefully that will happen!!
I'm pretty sure he can say "I did it!" because he says this a lot after he accomplishes things!
