I spent hours getting my string lines up to level the patio and was almost done getting it leveled out when someone let Jackson out. He got tangled up in the lines and pulled everything down in about two seconds of drama. It was so fast and yet it felt like slow motion. I seriously cried. But everything is level. We went out to eat at Picasso’s for dinner and then went to this place in the same plaza called Frozen Fusion. It looked cute, but it was terrible. They had three flavors (the usual chocolate, vanilla, strawberry) of soft serve ice cream and you add toppings and pay by the ounce. Disappointing, but the kids had ice cream and let’s face it, it’s hard to have bad ice cream. Would not go back. Which seemed like the choice most of their customers have made, since there weren’t any.

We had another nice day today. We spent almost the entire day shopping. We did have ice cream for lunch, which I do recommend. My ice cream cone, which was technically only two scoops, weighed approximately four pounds. So much delicious ice cream! We went to a very fancy restaurant for dinner, which was as fabulous as we expected – probably more, even. It was a great finish to a great weekend. And now it is 10:20pm and I have to get up at 6:30am and I have just accidentally taken my morning medication instead of my evening medication, which royally sucks because my morning medication includes a strong stimulant and now I’ll be lucky to sleep at all tonight. At least I’ll be home early and I can sleep all afternoon. What a great trip with great company. We need more times like these.

We had a little more luck finding ice cream tonight than we did last night. I regret eating mine… it was just a little too much. Still, a nice reason to get out of the house.

We finally managed to get out to get Robin the ice cream she earned from that epic practice over a week ago. Between our trip to New York and Robin’s strep throat, we just couldn’t make it happen. But it was worth the wait. She even recovered when I told her she has a practice on Sunday.

A day late, but we went out to celebrate Robin’s first back handspring ever! And we capped off the evening with a couple games of Sushi Go – and I both lost miserably and won a game. I also had an awesome lunch with friends from chorus – so all in all a pretty good day.

Saw Dr. Nader today and as usual, she sent me text messages with links to the latest workouts she’s been trying. She is up on every workout and diet fad there is, and every time I see her, she is trying to get me to do another one. I’m just happy I weigh ten pounds less than last time, and I didn’t need a 6-8 times a day ab workout to do it, either. So I got ice cream after dinner.

I took Robin to the doctor today and Robin told him she’d keep going to cheer, at least for now. My heart hurts for her. And I am just completely burned out. I am drowning in work and trying to keep the house afloat while Billy is at work and at football practice and at the gym. And I’m trying to keep up with church obligations and bills and returning texts and phone calls. I knit for an hour at night and read for 45 minutes in the morning and that’s all I get after pouring my heart into everything else. I have to cut back somewhere. I just don’t know where. Everything feels important. And I don’t know who can do it instead. But something’s going to break somewhere. I’ve got to decide what’s most important and put the rest to the side.
