So tired in the midst of this really long week

The May/end-of-school-year craziness is definitely in full swing.  We are just tired, tired people.  I see it in myself, my husband, my kiddos, and all of the students and staff.  After today, only 14 days of school left.  We will get there, but it still seems daunting at this point.

After being off Monday and being able to be very productive, the rest of the week got very busy.  I worked 1/2 day in 4th grade on Tuesday, then went to my church job.  I was home long enough to change clothes and then picked up Thomas from athletic conditioning before I headed to Robert's track meet...where I was for the next five hours.  He has developed a cold so it wasn't his best meet of the season.  In fact, generally speaking we were not at all competitive in this meet.  Not only that but it was COLD, and the wind was brutal.

Yesterday was a full day of kindergarten.  I love the little ones, but it is so physically exhausting.  I went home to pick up Robert and we headed to the grocery.  I got to see Andrew for about 45 minutes before he was back out the door for a school event.  I gave Robert NyQuil so that he would sleep well (and since he went to bed at 8:00, he also slept long!), and I myself didn't stay up late either.

Today is a full day of the Ag class, and then I have to head to church again.  Thomas also has a band concert this evening.  I work again in Ag tomorrow, and although Thomas has a track party after school and I might have to work at church again, we have a relatively unscheduled evening.  That may be MY turn to go to bed at 8:00!

Unfortunately on Saturday I have to be up at 5:30 again.  Thomas has an all-day band activity, although I will be able to return to bed and sleep after dropping him off by 6:30.  We have dinner plans that evening, and then we have church commitments Sunday morning and early afternoon.  Knowing that next week brings night class, another band concert, two meetings, and two track meets, means we need to start the week as rested as we can!
