Exhausted...

adjective: drained physically

Or in my case, mentally...

I am on kid overload.

With all the Ms having been sick in the last 2 weeks, and keeping an overly whiney teething baby 3 days a week, I think I'm in need of a serious break.

I know that most of this stems from the fact that we haven't been out of the house much in the past 2 weeks, but the Ms are just about to drive me batty. Lots of energy, and not enough chances to let it out. The fact that they are getting more and more excited about our upcoming trip just multiplies the craziness. The weekend weather is supposed to be pretty nice, and now that everyone is well I think that we'll be spending as much of it as possible outside. Tomorrow we are definately going to leave the house. Not sure what we'll do or where we'll go, but it won't be at the house! We do have a family trip to the mall planned for tomorrow night. Gotta check out the Disney Store for some things for the trip!

As far as the overly whiney teething baby, thankfully that is nearly over with. This will be my last month keeping her. She is almost 6 months old and I've been keeping her for over 3 months now. With her (and M4) napping less often, it's becoming too hard to get in the school work that we need. That is definately a priority, so the babysitting will end. She's been *really* whiney for the last month or more, and the ONLY thing that calms her is holding her. All. Day. Long. UGH. With 4 kids of my own at home, I don't have time for that.

I told the hubby that this weekend, I'm taking a break! I think I'll take my SIL (who's 38wks pregnant) for that pedicure I've been promising her!
