Wasted Weekend...

Ugh. The weekend was planned so carefully...so perfectly. The kids went to my moms for the weekend so we could get some things done around here. Friday night went without a hitch...Kurt and I grabbed dinner at our favorite stir fry place (even though we didn't have the $5 coupon...we treated ourselves). Afterwards, we headed to Toys R Us with all the other crazy parents on their date nights...figuring out what to get the kids that have everything that don't need anything that everyone buys stuff for leaving Santa perplexed with what to bring. Grateful though. Anyway...we later hit the mall and even got a coffee on the way home. All was well.

I barely slept all night...tossed and turned. Blamed it on the caffeine in the coffee...I am getting up there in age now. Got up, ready to attack my day and get some serious shopping done, so I could enjoy the weeks to come. I had a stomach ache and was tired, but didn't think much of it. Blamed the stir fry. So, I am filled with the shopping spirit, not deterred by the long A$$ line at Kohl's and it hit me like a ton of bricks. The ache, the sweat, the nausea, the need to just crawl up on one of those fake beds. I literally, had to put my purchases back, because I couldn't bear to stand in line for fear that I may pass out. I made it home - all of 5 minutes...thinking that i may just pass out in the car. Then I proceeded to basically sleep all day, missing the neighborhood Christmas Party, then sleeping all night.

Fortunately it was a 24 hour thing, because Sunday I felt much better...but I basically lost a day. The only good that came out of the Saturday sleep fest was that in my bouts of awakeness, I watched a sappy girl movie - PS I Love You and watched about 4 episodes of ER that were on the DVR.

Now this week I need to catch up. I think that Saturday was God's way of telling me to slow down and realize that it will all get done...take some time to just VEG out.
