Better.

Oma came over, and I slept for about an hour and a half. Then I had a shower and a cup of tea (whitened with formula since we're out of milk.) I felt much more human at that point, and started to look at lunch.

That was when I realized that we were out of bread, eggs, and milk. My creativity was still at a low ebb from sleeplessness, so I decided that, since I was going out anyway, I might as well hop on a bus and go to MvDonald's. It was a school day, so it wouldn't be busy, and there was a dollar store in the same plaza where I needed to get a few things.

Only one problem: it's a P.A. Day for the Catholic school board. I realized this while trying to calm an overstimulated baby and place an order, in the midst of a crazy-busy restaurant. Oops.

We went to the dollar store and then came back to play at McDonald's when the crowds were more manageable. Elizabeth was good as gold, and Claire didn't fuss much, so all was well and I'm no more frazzled than I was when I left the house.

The weekend's jobs include buying bins for, and organizing Elizabeth's toys (complete with picture labels supplied by the inestimable sassy_fae) and a few other things that I've been putting off all week due to the lack of emotional energy that's been plaguing me.

Sorry about your lack of energy. :( I get like that too, when the boys are being particularly needy. *HUGS* I hope it passes quickly.

I've been finding that I can be available for my kids, and available intellectually or physically, but the situation I need to deal with takes a different kind of attention and it's the first thing to go when I'm tired. Oddly, the intellectual energy required for much of my writing is usually the last thing to go, because I don't have to think much to express my thoughts when they're already formed.
