I can only use one word to describe how I feel right now, 8:38 p.m. on Monday night…. EXHAUSTED! Some other words to describe my feelings would be drained, pooped, depleted, dissipated, finished, spent, consumed.  Out of these, I’d say the best one is drained.  I am drained emotionally and physically.  I have spent almost every ounce I have today.  On reserve is that negative energy that I may need to use to go get Sammy from  his hockey game.

Yet, as much as I am tired… I can only imagine  my poor dear hubby’s tiredness.  It took him all day to get home from golfing and conferencing alone in sunny California.  I didn’t land till after 12 a.m. and then drove him, another 2 hours by the time he got his car and actually got on the home after 2 a.m.  7 a.m. came very soon for him… and then there was the day that is inevitable after being away from the clinic.  The day of people that just need to be seen now.

Then there was hockey.  Zachary played at 6:30p.m… Sanj coached.  Tyler and Jordan played at 7:30 a.m. Sanj coached.  I came home to put the youngest three in bed and am in that in between time… Sammy is playing at 8:45 p.m. and I will likely go pick him up.

Having company is one of my favourite things… of course it is tiring and when you add family with my dad here… you can multiply my emotions and energy by a gazillion.

It was a good visit.  No stress.  Sanj was awake and gone without even seeing my dad.  My dad, being clueless, actually seemed disappointed to have missed him.  He seems to be missing the point that Sanj could seriously hurt him for all the foolishness and pain over the years.

Then there are the things that I just wanted to get done today… so my house still looks as if an atomic bomb went through… mattresses and blankets everywhere from cousins sleeping together.  Breakfast dishes still dirty.  Laundry that was started… though the dryer seems to be protesting and may need to be serviced… hopefully that is all.  The garbage is almost overflowing and needs to be taken out.  All the signs that the house was full of bodies… and then a rush to be out the door.

Ah… there is tomorrow.  (My cleaning lady comes tomorrow… so I am not so stressed out… though she is an unsuspecting soul)!  Today, after dropping the younger ones off at school a little late, after saying by to the cousins, their aunt and uncle… and the ever eccentric Grandpa Peter…  Josh and I went shopping.  He has had a few major growth spurts over the year.  I kept ignoring the length of his pants… despite the fact that you could see his ankles and socks.  Since his cousin gets his hand me downs… I knew that it was time.  I made a pile of his clothes to be handed off… and off we went to the mall.

H&M has come to Peterborough.  We actually have a real mall.  Love it!  Josh said, “I want sweaters but not with writing on it.”  He also wanted dress shirts, with collars and buttons.  Then he sported a “leather” jacket.  Oh dear.  And they had his favourite black checkered  pants… that were skinny jeans.  He was in heaven.  He begged to wear them right away.  Off to the bathroom we went, after paying for our purchases… he looked part hellion and part absolutely adorable.  It was fun!  

Then I had this mission to make myself business cards for my blog… but postcard size.  I am going to take my writing to the next level.  After this weekend, my brother gave me a edited version of using social media and taking it up a notch.  

Part of this was to become part of Twitter… tweet me if you are a Twitter user… I still have no clue about the jargon, so forgive me.  (momx6boys  is my user name)

My cell phone was ringer constantly today too.  This, that and the other.  

Sanj just phoned and said he is going to stay in town and wait for Sammy.  Yahoo… Pyjamas… here I come.  Today is officially over!
