Do you remember that line in Freaky Friday when Lindsay Lohan looks in the mirror (now in her mom's body) and says "EWWW, I'm the cryptkeeper?!" Well that is how I felt looking in the mirror this morning. I have been SO tired the past few days. I cannot seem to catch up on my sleep. Yesterday, I passed someone I know at the store and she didn't even recognize me- I seriously was looking right at her saying, "Hi, what are you guys up to?" and she was still looking past me then sort of focused and blinked and said, "OH! Hi." Yikes, I guess it's worse that I thought!
Luckily, Jared got back from Coffs Harbor last night around dinnertime. I wanted to drop the minute he walked in the door. I just wanted to say, "Good, you're here, you take over." Thankfully, he just about did that. He got kids in the bath and helped with dinner, cleaned up, etc. Today he took work off and he let me sleep in, got the kids breakfast and dressed, he made the bed, did two loads of laundry, and let me have a nap midday. Wow, I could get used to this. I really needed it. I just felt like I was shuffling around all day. I hope that this doesn't mean I am coming down with something. I just can't remember ever being this tired in my life. Strange. I hope it's nothing- I hate being sick!
I was so out of it that I almost forgot Austin's indoor soccer game. Thank goodness he said something about it at 4:45 and I gasped and looked at the clock. Today's game was 5:20 so we were able to get ready and get there in time. He played so well and even got "Player of the Match" which meant he got a free slush puppy. Gee thanks, just what I want my son to have right before dinner! Oh well. He naturally thought it was great.
We came home and had an easy pasta dinner then put on Karate Kid, the movie Austin chose at Blockbuster yesterday. It was so hilarious. Have you seen this movie recently? All I remembered about it was "Cruel Summer" by Bananarama. Not so bad. But seriously there is some cheesy new song every 3 mintues. The clothing- so frightening. Of course Elisabeth Shue is timeless. She is beautiful and I love her curly frizzy hair b/c it reminds me of my own. We got through about 20 minutes before the kids were tired and went to bed. Good, can I go to sleep now?

I definitely have days when I look like the cryptkeeper. Hopefully you're just tired from solo parenting and now you can catch up on your sleep. I can't remember the last time I saw Karate Kid!
Hey that was soo nice of him to do that. I can't imagine having to do most of the work all the time. Alf is going to a couple of courses this fall and he will be gone two days a week practically until 10-11 so I was getting bumbed out. Those movies were fun. I even have the tone of jamie's voice for that line....funny
