Whew, today was a very long day and now I’m completely exhausted. I woke up at 5:30am as usual even though I don’t set my alarm on weekends, and basically haven’t stopped doing things since then. I began by knocking out a few writing assignments I had, as well as taking care of some emails and other administrative tasks before my husband and son woke up. Then I made breakfast, did some cleaning, threw in a load of laundry, and went grocery shopping.

I also had to take my car to Jiffy Lube for an oil change while my husband and son went to the mall (presumably for my Mother’s Day present). After that, it was off to a friend’s house for a barbecue and the Cubs game. The food and drinks were great, but most everyone was too chilly sitting on the patio, so we ended up helping move the outdoor furniture into the basement to accommodate the guests down there.

On the way home, we stopped at Blockbuster so I could rent a few DVDs for the upcoming week and then went to Baskin-Robbins because my son was hungry again.

So here I am ready to fall into bed at 7:30 on a Saturday night. I’m really starting to feel my age these days!
