The Bare Necessities

Food, water, diaper, wipes...yup, that pretty much covers it! Well, tomorrow is my last day with the family before they leave me for two weeks. Eek!! Today was such a weird day. I'm exhausted! And I didn't even go for a run. I woke up to my alarm and snoozed it but didn't hear it and ended up climbing out of bed at 7. That's over an hour later than what I originally wanted! And I was so sluggish I practically crawled to the bathroom to wash my face. the kids were pretty good though. No huge fights that I had to solve. Becca had her moments today where I just wanted to lock her up in her room and go scream into a pillow. But I restrained myself and it actually all turned out to be ok. Oh! I got the next book of the Ted Dekker trilogy at the library today...Red. I'm excited to read it. These next two weeks are gonna be interesting. I feel like I'm gonna be a temporary single mom cuz I'll have a kid to take care of, I'll have to cook and clean, do my homework, go grocery shopping when needed, keep the kid happy, and oh yeah, make sure she gets fed every day haha. In some ways I think it'll be more relaxing than having all 5 of them, but at the same time I feel like it's gonna be more tiring. Cuz I'll have her 24/7 for two weeks. so 24/14!! Except for when I go to church. She goes to child care. So that's like 3 hours out of the 2 weeks that I won't have her haha.

I'm really excited to be cooking for myself for 2 weeks. Any ideas for what I should eat? I have chicken, noodles, and rice and some salad stuff, but I'm gonna have to run to the store ASAP and get more cuz it's not enough. I've taken a liking to celery lately! Weird right? It doesn't even really have a taste, so I don't know why I like it! But lately I've been craving celery and baby-cut carrots with a little bit of ranch. At least I'm wanting healthy foods right? :)

Well, folks, I'm off to bed. I definitely need to go for a run tmw cuz I didn't go today and I ate ice cream. Which isn't a sin, mind you, but when I was already almost full from lunch, it put me over the edge and made me feel like a bloated toad. You know, the ones that float down the stream? Hahaha I don't know why I said that. Exhaustion is slowly setting in. I have a new appreciation for stay-at-home moms with multiple kids. Ay yay yay! thanks for putting up with us, momma! :)

That's life through the eyes of a banana munchkin.
