Thank God and Little Baby Jesus It's Friday!!!

This has been the longest week ever! The first week back full time was full of surprises. The being put on the PN at work. The fevers amongst the kids. The missing out on the fair I was looking forward to attending. The rain coming back. The first days of not talking to hubby.
I have never looked so forward to a Friday in my life. I am so tired. And I still have tons to do.
Mailed off a package to honey today. Just his sweat suit and some shorts and a couple of Sports Illustrateds and letters from Elliebear. CiCi got her school pics back so I put one in as well.
I wish I had time to sit and write a letter. I am doing good to blog each day. So far, so good on keeping that commitment.
I was in a pickle this AM. Luckily, well for lack of a better word, CiCi said her throat hurt today. So she stayed home with Pinky and Bruiser who both woke up with fevers. I called her throughout the day. She made them pizza rolls for lunch and cereal for breakfast. Nobody died. So I guess it worked out. I hate that she missed school. She said no test or major work she would miss so I let her stay home. I will be so immensely pleased when the cold/flu season is over. It's tearing me apart worrying about the kids.
The kiddos are going to take pictures at daycare on 10-12-09. Wasn't expecting that but glad for it because I wasn't sure when I was going to have time or energy to take them to Penny's. Have I said that before? Just had the weirdest dejavu. Anyway...
Went outside to take out the trash earlier for tomorrow AM. The moon was so bright and 99 % full. Just beautiful. And once I saw the few stars, I closed my eyes and wished, wished, wished for my wonderful husband to call me. No luck yet... but I am keeping my fingers crossed.
Bruiser and Princess will not go to bed. UGH. Please! Tonight will be a perfect night for a muscle relaxer. I have been so stiff and uncomfy lately but I didn't want to take one for fear I'd oversleep. Pesky old job!
Speaking of which... I had an excellent sales day today. That I can at least be thankful for... We ate Wendy's fast food tonight and it was expensive and not so tasty but I totally didn't feel like cooking. Lots more laundry... Swept bedroom floor. Tried to organize paperwork. Too many distractions so it's still in the stack. Found out the group that helps kids with extracurriculars may not cover Cici and Ellie- I emailed them to find out for sure. However, I can get Princess involved in something.
Got invite to Tim's party for tomorrow in mail today. Sharolynne wants us to bring an item for his going away party- ex. baby wipes, Chapstick, etc. I think I am taking baby wipes simply because I have them at home... If I even go... I know, I know... Totally don't feel like shopping for anything right now. I want to rest. This week took so much out of me.
I have been pigging out too. I guess it's nerves. Stress. Or maybe my body's so tired, it's looking for an energy boost. Who knows? I hate it though. I feel really guilty about eating like that. I am going to gain all that weight back.
A group of wives were going to try for the fair again tomorrow. MM extended an invite to her son's football game. IF the weather is nice, I may take the kids to the park or something but since they have been ill, I don't even know about that. We'll have to play that one by ear.
The girls are getting out of school early on 10-08 and are out of school on 10-09 and 10-12. Teacher in service and Columbus day, I think. Ellie got a free state fair ticket she can use on the 12Th. Cici didn't say anything about getting one so... I don't know if I will feel like doing that after I get off like last year. Or was it the year before? I can't remember... Just wish hubby was here to go with us. I miss him so much.
I am trying to keep a mental list of things I have to do. Would it not be easier to write it down? I am having another day where I am too tired to make an assessment of my feelings. I am back to numb. Which is fine by me. I am not angry about anything. I am not feeling blue. I am not happy. I am... content...
Maybe it's because it's finally Friday... I have 2 days with no time schedule... I can afford to be a little numb right now...
