Whirlwind Weeks

It was supposed to be a quiet, easy week.  Adrian was off school and I was really looking forward to a break from the 2 hours I spend in the car daily driving him to and fro.  I’m ending the week feeling anything but refreshed or revitalized.

I guess part of the problem was just recovering from last week.  There was a lot going on last week.  My mother-in-law came to visit. Monday was a meeting for an upcoming presentation I’m participating in.  Tuesday I had the whole mom’s group here for our weekly meeting while the church was being carpeted (all 12 adults and 12 children).  Wednesday I spent running around and then taking the kids swimming.  Thursday Adrian slept in till nearly 10, something very unusual for him so we skipped school that day.  Friday my husband left to take my mother-in-law to the train station and go to school for the day, Zee woke up throwing up and I spent the rest of the day getting ready for the mom’s group to come back for our monthly mom’s night out. 

Then this week started off when my husband left Sunday for a 3 day business trip, leaving me home alone with all the kids for the majority of the week.  By the time he got back Thursday, I was going a little crazy.  It occurred to me that I’d not spoken with another adult for a week.  That might have had something to do with it.  That and the fact that when my husband finally got home he left for another meeting and then spent the entire day away Friday too.  My husband works from home and I’m used to having him around.  I’m spoiled and I just don’t deal well with not seeing him for days on end.

I feel like I could use a week or two vacation.  I’ve got less than 48 hours till Monday morning arrives.  It’s not going to be enough.
