WELL.....

It has been quite some time since I've posted....how can I be so busy yet not get anything done (or so it seems??). After-prom came and went without incident. Prom was 4/25 @ 8pm, and as luck would have it (or un-luck, depends on how you look at it), Bryn had orientation for his first ever job~~the movie theatre~~at 4pm. It was supposed to last 2 hours, but I told him to tell them that he had to leave at 5pm sharp, which he did, then home to get dressed, and off to pick up Gwen (his girlfriend) at 6pm. Arrive at her house around 6:20pm, take pictures and then off to dinner around 7pm, but wait....Bryn's father is in the hospital, so we stop off there so that they can see Bryn and Gwen in the full prom regalia. Then off to dinner for them, home for me to load the car up with all the goodies for after prom. I left for after prom around 9:30pm for set up at 10pm. I think I was running on adrenaline because it certainly wasn't food or sleep! Anyway, it all worked out, the kids had a good time, and I arrived back home around 5:45am Saturday morning. I fell asleep a little after 6am and at 10:30am, felt my husband shaking me telling me to wake up because he had something that he had to do, he would only be gone a little while and I could back to bed. ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? I have been awake for over 24 hours with only 4 hours of sleep the night before and you want me to wake up because you have something that you need to do??? WTF. Well, he ended up getting back home at FOUR P.M., so needless to say, I didn't go back to sleep until that night.

Anyway, the after prom chapter of my life is closed (almost....I still have one more meeting for wrap up)....my house still looks like it threw up all over itself and I spend entirely too much time with my kids. I think I need a vacation. I would like to say sans husband, but he needs a break too, so it will definitely be sans kids.

Oh, and on another note, I started weight watchers (not going to meetings, just have my books and counting points) and have lost 12 pounds over the course of the last 3 weeks. Not as quick as I'd like it to come off, but I have to be patient.

Well, I'm really, really tired so I'm off to bed. I have more for another post on a more personal note but it's too much for now.
