It is amazing how little energy I have had this week. It has just been draining. I've been so tired, alternating between bad dreams and insomnia. I have needed to go grocery shopping all week, and only just made it today, Friday. We have been depleting our canned goods and I made one small run to the local dépanneur for hot dogs and buns, but other than that, we were in dire need of milk, vegetables, etc. Thank goodness it is done!
I don't doubt that the fatigue I feel is emotional. So much has happened, between the meeting with the social worker, Daughter getting so sick that we ended up going to the ER with her, and Second Son's troubles at school. Not to mention First Son's anger and indignation at having to do so much homework - I will permit myself a silent chuckle over that last one.
The weekend promises to be really busy too. Tomorrow morning we are all volunteering for the city's spring cleanup at our local playground. Then we grab a quick lunch and head over to Ottawa where Second Son's gymnastics center is holding a gym-a-thon. He has sponsors that made donations for him to do some gymnastics skill that are on a sheet of paper. His coach will check off the skills that he can manage so he can show his sponsors.
During the gym-a-thon I will sneak away to a nearby Second Cup for some Doctor Who tapes that I found on kijiji. The boys are going to love them! (And so am I, it goes without saying.) After the gymnastics we are all going over to my brother's house to plant some flowers by his front door. Daughter will also go inside and help my sister with her spring cleaning. They are going to tackle her bedroom and I have been asked not to forget to bring the shredder.
Sunday morning First Son is going to a friend's house to play. In the afternoon my sister will stay with the boys while I take Daughter to her newest class (gumpaste and fondant for cake decorating.)
It is going to be a looooong weekend. My one culinary goal is to make fajitas, since Second Son has been asking for chicken and I bought all the necessary fresh ingredients, plus the fajita kit. The chicken is good until early next week so I want to prepare it this weekend before it goes bad. Hopefully I will manage a few minutes' rest in there somewhere. I am tired just thinking about it, but if I look on the bright side, at least I don't have to do groceries. :o)
