this is how my day went

woke up essentially as marty got ready for work (5th-to-last day!), although was in good spirits and not rushed.
no cereal or bread, so i made pancakes for me n the kids.
drank coffee. played a bit. drew suggested the mall, i agreed (what with superpouring rain today [first rainfall of august, even!]).
doot doot school supplies
home, L nap. my energy plummeted, but i played with D throughout nap anyway.
L woke up, I laid down in bed with her, and she and D got up and came downstairs to watch cartoons. i fell asleep in bed.
woke up, slightly concerned and unaware of how long i'd been asleep. came downstairs and drifted off again on couch. sheesh.
m came home. and my evening took on nightmarish feeling (not because of him, lol). just that super-tired-struggle-to-rise feeling. and family's mood was falling all around me - D whining, crying, M frustrated, L... 2... (heh).
friend M emailed me about our run tonight, which i not-so-delicately backed out of. felt awful about that.
pulled blanket over my head (still on couch) and wished to not be here.
things became somewhat better, mood-wise. i even got off my ass and reheated some coffee from this morning hah. ate some vegetables marty'd cut up for dinner.
they played some wii, then bedtime came pretty quickly. m put them down, but L came out of the room and i went to check. she'd gone into our room and laid on the bed, heh. but didn't want me to leave... so i dawdled there a bit, with snuggles and a lullaby. i eventually left and came downstairs, but heard her being quiet down here so M put her back up, where he fell asleep alongside her.
i checked on him an hour ago and he said he didn't mind sleeping the night. i felt lonely but didn't mention it (seeing as i do the same thing a few times a week).

to augment my 'dinner' of a few raw vegetables, i've eaten nearly an entire box of mint-chocolates my neighbour brought me for watching her cat/plants while she was away recently.

durr.

sitting here with my jaw hanging open

oh, not shocked, no. just tired and back pain and ultrobaxacet.

i here now just want to document, in abs no order:

• bathed kids
• hung out at neighbour's with her cat that came back (but still waiting on the other one) and the kids
• did ALL teh laundry, and folded & put away all i did today with the exception of one load still waiting in the dryer
• during L's nap, made paper airplanes with D :)
• ran dishwasher twice
• did all hand-dishes, too
• swept kitchen once
• took out upstairs and downstairs bathroom garbages
• made dinner out of my imagination and some ingredients (chicken + corn + curry paste + milk + potatos on the side), and put it away within a reasonable time frame
• actually wiped down the kitchen counters!!!! BIG HUGE woah for me
• oh, mopped up some salmonella drippings in the fridge, ew. gotta finish that yet.
• watered front grass, hanging baskets, and plants on deck!

that may be it for now. i think what really killed my back was the kidbath, but i knew that going in, so. rite.

let's hope this $11 in our bank account continues to last us until SOMETIME WEDNESDAY, when M gets his invoice filled! AMIRITE?
