i'm tired....

i'm tired, really tired. tired emotionally and physically of the demands of doing my job and being a mom to sophie and fynn and the 100 other things that are responsibilties of mine.

i savour the half hour or so i have at the gym each day. today was one of those days however that even the gym couldn't help.

i got a call at 11:00am from the daycare. sophie was supposed to go to the waterpark today but she became so emotional at daycare about feeling the constant urge to pee that they opted to let her rest at the centre with another caregiver. I was in a meeting when the call came in, so I was late in responding. I finally got her in to the doctor's at about 3:45pm. It doesn't appear to be a bladder infection but likely a yeast infection that afflicts little girls and creates a spasm feeling that mimics the urge to pee. After the doctors we went over to fill her prescription. By then, it was so late in the afternoon that there was no point in taking her back to daycare, so she spent the last 45 minutes or so with me at work (writing on her hands in black marker).

I took her to the gym (which is not my typical routine) and she amused herself watching me in my fitness class. Overall she did well, but not the most productive gym time I've had. Back home to dinner (thank you Vic!) and then I drove them to the library during which time Sophie fell asleep.

A quick McDonald's icecream sundae latter that the two of them shared and we came back home. Thankfully storytime was a success tonight as Sophie really enjoyed her library books (small mercies).

They are now happily tucked in bed and I'm facing some laundry and we shall start it all over again tomorrow!!

Looking forward to visiting our family this weekend and taking an extra day off on Monday.
