Tired~EY

That is the only way to explain our rambunctious group lately. And by group I mean either all the cousins, one of the cousins, minus one of our kids.. whatever the case... Today we are all tired~ey. Like exhausted kind of tired. Our feet hurt from so much walking, our leg muscles hurt from jumping, our shoulders hurt from holding the littlest one of the group, my core hurts from holding two inner tubes steady so that four little cousins didn't fall off their inner tubes and one small boy didn't freak when he flew off the tubes...slides...coaster....or rubber mats.

Dang, my body is a wreck. Top it off with the love affair with the rower and sit ups and squats I have going on and I could qualify for medicare... oh wait I do.... Not so funny.

I can only hope that these kinds of lazy days are the ones that my kids love. A little bit of cleaning things up and a lot of nothing else so that they can catch up on relaxing is just what they needed. Seeing as that 3 of them slept until almost 11:00 this morning, I doubt I am wrong. Actually I know I am not. I am drained but have a workout scheduled with a new workout partner tonight so I gotta get it into gear!!

In other aspects of our little life as we know it... but do not always love it...
I have seen Tommy once since Sunday. Yes I know... some, very few, but some, people go days without seeing their spouses, but this is not at all normal for us. We have so much going on and the days that we literally pass each in the driveway some nights. And getting a text message at 3:00 in the morning about foot pursuits, taser deployments, suspects with hamburger faces from face planting at a full~speed sprint due to the taser disabling all bodily functions, officer having to go to the E.R. due to the foot pursuit and hurting their knee.... sorta hits home.. and hard, that we are not at all a normal married couple. I don't know what normal is anymore. I actually wonder if I have ever really known "normal" per se...... I do know that normal would never work for us. I might even, no, I would be completely be bored with normal, if I were to compare "us" to the people around us.....

I must be tired to just ramble this way.

I lost my phone that I just had replaced last Friday, at the store today. My head has a million things running through it... my kids are in constant trouble for calling each other names, I am in serious stressed out mode over one of my kids' inability to forgive and forget ... but I have to side with that kid since I feel the same way about the problem that seems to just be ignored on a regular basis.

Needless to say, I am ready to implode or just run far~far away.

Thankfully after 4 hours of backtracking and leaving all my information at the grocery store in case someone turned in my phone.... talking with Verizon to find out they are the only carrier in the nation that does not have GPS locator's capabilities on their phones, debating at length with my insurance carrier about replacing the phone, finally breaking down and suspending the service on the phone... only to have my phone finder call me as I was talking with the insurance company.... Head starts slowly cracking right about this time...... and steam begins seeping out.

All in a summer days day, I guess.

It ended so well I can't even complain anymore. Jax and Brinkley both joined me and my niece Jessie for a workout tonight. All four workouts were different and it was fun. We finished up the workouts and played outside for a bit and it was awesome!!!

Tomorrow... Daddy starts his weekend. We will have some more company for dinner and to watch the big game... which only Jax is really concerned about. And we will make all the munchies go to bed semi-early so that we can rock the water park again........ Cuz that is how we are rollin this summer. The kids are loving going there and I am finally at ease with letting the little one run around with his cousins!!!

One of these days we are going to have to get friends to join us!!!
