Boy, I have felt like crud all day. I went from waking up tired, to exhausted. I hate when I get like this. It's like walking around in a daze....constantly trying to stay awake. I did manage to clean and do some sewing. I finished my ironing and the girls....yet have a pile of dh's to do. I can't rest comfortably if I know I have work to do. I was looking forward to spending the evening in bed, but I couldn't with that dang ironing staring at me. I still have quite a bit left, but at least I started it. Dinner was spinach quiche (a new recipe), maple sausage, and strawberries and blueberries. I have to say, although I didn't feel hungry, it sure was good. The girls actually had two pieces each, which surprised me. They said the recipe was a keeper. I did take pics....and they laughed at me....but I'm too dang tired to post them.
Wee one had a friend spend the night last night....and she didn't leave until after 5 this afternoon. I do believe she was here for 24 hours. Tomorrow Betsy is babysitting for them all day, and wee one will probably be over there. WooHoo....a freebie day during the summer. Gotta love those....
I am still trying to get used to the routine again, after being on vacation. I still feel a bit of the "relaxation glow", yet know that I need to get back into the groove. In about 2 weeks, wee one will get her 4th grade class assignment. I can not believe she is going to be a 4th grader. Where has the time gone? I have her kindergarten picture on the fridge....as well as a picture of she and Betsy when they were 3 and 9. I can't believe my babies are getting so big. I miss those days when mommy was the center of their worlds. I suppose every mother goes through baby withdrawl....it just hurts so much.
Okay, enough of the whining. I've got to get some sleep here. Goodnight....

Talk about baby withdrawal. Mine are 16 and 23. still at home and I have one more year to homeschool the youngest BUT I miss them terribly needing me and being babies. Lori
"Bush/Cheney" -- GASP!!!! Okay, not gonna say another word, nope, not another word, even though I am choking over here!!!! Okay, on to you, since it's all about you right?! I am sorry you don't feel well! I think this vacation took more out of you than you expected! And, what's up with all this ironing?! Do your children only wear things that are linen or something? Or do you have to press everything into a fine crease? I don't get why you have soooo much ironing! I understand hubby because he probably wears button down shirts, those do need to be ironed, IF you don't take them out of the dryer quick enough. But, MAN, you do a heck of alot of ironing!! I don't think I have taken my iron out in 3 years honestly! We have a wedding coming up at the end of July and it will be taken out then though for hubby's shirt, then back it goes. I hope you feel better soon!! "Bush/Cheney"! Gasp, gasp, gasp!!!
Hugs and love, Lisa
Every piece of clothing we own needs to be ironed. It's all wrinkled in the draws. LOL I never have anything to wear because it needs to be ironed and I have the best iron in the entire world. Europro steam. OMG I LOVE IT. But i forget to fold my clothes if i even wash them lol and they all are wrinkled and I can't find a minute to iron. Anyway....you never rest even when you aren't feeling well. Gourmet cooking, cleaning, ironing babysitting. WTF ....please take some time out just for yourself one of these days. Please! Maybe take the day off on saturday? It's your birthday isn't it? And if you dare come on here saturday saying you cleaned or cooked or anything I'm going to get on a plane and drag you kicking and screaming to the beach!
Feel better soon .
Sounds Like you need a vacation to get rested up from your vacation .
Does that make sense LOL!
SMILE:)

Baby withdrawal is easy solved, borrow one for a few hrs and get it out of your system. Or you could wait for the grandchildren to start arriving, rofl. It is kinda weird without the little dependant ones though.
I would hide the ironing in a cupboard and leave it till I felt better if I was you.....go rest girl!!!........Jules xx
Sorry you aren't feeling up to snuff and hoping that a free day will make it all better. Hugs Lanny
I go through baby withdrawal every once in awhile then I go to Nanci's house and its solved,lol. She has a little one.
I hope you start feeling better soon and since your daughters won't be home today try to take a nap? I know easier said than done but try.
I hope you got lots of rest and feel better today.I know how you feel about your babies growing up.It seeme like it was just yesterday when they were actual babies doesn't it?Have a fabulous time ironing.KIM
I hope you get to feeling better soon! Unbelievable--I have my boys' kindergarten pictures on my fridge, too!! Enjoy your free day! Love, Kim :o) BTW~ You make the most delicious meals! Where do you get all of your ideas from?! Yummy!
Your dinner sounds great. I love pretty much any quiche. You are always so busy. I hope you take your birthday off. I took the entire weekend of my birthday off and my house payed for it, because of course no one else did anything either. Hope you're feeling better today. ~Melissa

I can really identify with the "where have my babies gone" feeling. When mine where babies I think particularly with the eldest it was new stressful & scary & I wished it away a bit. I was always wanting them to do the next thing. Around 10 or 11 I panicked and thought WHOA...this is going too fast & now looking a baby photos makes me want to cry! Oh for the days when I could 'make' them wear pretty dresses, when they sat up to the table drawing or painting, when they played in a sandpit, when 'helping mummy wash up' as they balanced on a chair with an apron down to their feet was a huge treat, when icing & decorating biscuits was a big event! Oh...I'm all sad again now!
There are nice things about 'grown up' girls...shopping, watching late films together, being able to take them out to eat in the evening. Ideally I would have a special time machine & say, once a month when I was feeling a bit broody or low I'd pop them in & set a dial for the age I wanted & have a day with them as a baby, or a toddler, or a 6 or 7 year old, turning them back to the right age at
bedtime.
Hope you feel better soon.
Hi Sherry! I hear ya with the ironing! These darn Cargo pants and shorts have to be ironed. I also love when hubby and son have crisp ironed t-shirts to put on. I know it's crazy! I know how you feel about the kids growing up so fast. My little guy is starting Kindergarten in Sept. I am afraid to blink thats how fast it seems he is growing! Take Care, Kim:)
