I think a lot of my mood the last few days was because of lack of sleep. I have been so busy the last month. I finally sat most of yesterday at home, even took a nap or two. So I believe lack of sleep and my allergies have really drug my mood down more than normal.
My week is shaping up like this Monday-Wednesday-Friday-AND-Sunday I will have been or will be at the airport. Monday I had to take Florence from Belgium to the airport, she and her host mom had a falling out last Friday night and she spent the weekend with us. My mom had to work, so I being a good daughter took her for my mom. Lele, Sophia, and Aidan went along for the ride. It rained terribly and luckily her flight went off on time.
Today we have to pick Judy up from the airport. Then we are going to Famous Dave's for Kale's going away family dinner. I really have no clue what we are doing Thursday besides spending time with Kale and packing his stuff up. Friday morning early we are back to the airport to drop him off. Friday night my mom talked me into going to a rodeo. We are going to the Flint Hills Rodeo, apparently it's the longest running professional rodeo in KS. It starts at 8pm, but it's a 2hr drive there, so we will be out late. Saturday we are having Lele's going away dinner at Mongolian BBQ (yuck), I am not sure how much Judy will complain about this. I am not sure she has ever been there or not. She is adamant that we have to be home for the Belmont Stakes Race, to see if Big Brown can take the Triple Crown. Whatever! I am not planning my life around a horse race, I will Tivo it for her or she can keep her butt home.
Sunday Lele leaves around 5pm. The rest of the night will undoubtedly be spent packing and panicking. Monday we drive to TN. Judy actually asked me if I thought we should drive for 8hrs then spend the night in a hotel. It's an TEN HOUR DRIVE! I said politely "Nope, I prefer to do all ten hours in one day." I am such a rebel. She is already driving me a little nuts and she's not even here yet. But we'll be okay. I just am not a big fan of BS and she is the queen of BS. Everything wrong with my husband can be traced back to her and how she raised him. Despite all of this I still love her and I know as far as MIL's go, I could have one that is SO MUCH WORSE! I have heard horror stories. I will try not to complain too much about her this next month, but please bear with me.
How do I know I am feeling better? I agreed to go on a two hour drive with four kids and my MIL to go to a rodeo. I must be out of my mind. :P

Glad you're back on your feet. Have fun, but try not to overdo it - sometimes we push ourself back into full swing way too soon and then BOOM, relapse.
happy to hear you are feeling a lot better. :)
rest is always good, especially when you have a hectic schedule like yours!! wow!! you are so busy ALL. THE. TIME. :) but i guess it is a good thing. :) I wish we could do a bunch of things like you do... but there isn't that much around here to do and there is no family, really, to travel to, and also NY is really pretty expensive to do anything in. oh well. we are trying to make some plans though.
anyway... have a good time at the rodeo, maybe it will help take some of the sting out of seeing Kale leave... although i really doubt it. :( my heart is breaking for you. but, i'm very thankful that our country can count on your entire family to help it, i'm just sorry that you all have to sacrafice so much.
good luck with your MIL... i know you love her and just have some thigns that bug you... that is good. I wish i could even like my MIL... i have to try really hard to be descent to her... it is a FULL time job when we are together to be civil... but i have many, many, MANY reasons not to be... anyway... another story for another time...
have a good day!! try to rest up some more, by the sounds of it you are going to definitely NEED the rest.
ttyl!!

I am so thankful for my MIL, we get along so well. And not just because she lives 4,000 miles away in another country. HA! She is just so sweet, I wish they lived closer.
And yeah, when I am overtired I get real cranky. And being drugged with allergy medicine doesn't help, believe me. I hate how allergy medications leave you with that worn-out feeling.
