I have a real bad case of the Mondays today. The entire weekend was packed with this and that (especially Saturday); I hardly feel like I got a chance to catch my breath!

Saturday we met up with one of my closest friends who was visiting from out of town. We first met when we were 22; I had just started attending the church where she’d been a member since her college years. I spent the better part of a year crashed on her couch because she lived closer to church and it was hard for me to get to know people when I was constantly driving back and forth from where I lived at the time. Fast forward all these years later and we’re both married mamas with two babies each. She moved away a few years ago because her husband is in med school but he’ll be done next year and there’s a chance she’ll be coming back my way! I’m so excited I can hardly contain it … I’m praying REAL HARD the Lord brings her family back to our neck of the woods!

After brunch with her and her family, J & I swung by my parents’ house to drop off our kids there for an overnighter. I had a long list of to-do’s that I really wanted to tackle over the weekend and it was going to be easier to complete if we didn’t have two tiny humans competing for our attention. My parents love watching their grandkids and our kids loooove going over to their home because they basically let the kids walk all over them. Long story short, it turns out I was too ambitious with my to-do list because J & I ended up staying up until 1 am on Saturday night and we only got maybe half the stuff completed.

Sunday was a busy day with church and serving … and then I had a pre-planned girls night out dinner with my inner circle of girlfriends that I didn’t want to miss. We had mani/pedis and went out for dinner & ice cream. It was tons of fun but I was so tired that I’m still feeling the exhaustion today. Bleh.

Today is Monday and my kids having been doing strange shenanigans like this:

 

… and just giving me headaches and almost-heart attacks all day. Can’t wait until bed time 🙂 Is it Friday yet?
