The Hardest Day

Well, the hardest day so far going without caffeine. I woke up so grumpy. Sutton Grace woke up earlier than normal, which is fine because she normally sleeps so late. I got the girls some breakfast. Despite them wanting toast, I fixed cereal. My head was pounding and I didn't have the stamina to wait on the toast. They didn't complain once breakfast was served. I sat down to feed the baby. We played for a bit. I talked with JT on the phone. He was trying to tell me something funny. But I wasn't getting it. I am not a morning person anyways and without my morning caffeine, I am a loss. Sutton Grace went down for her nap and I told the girls that we were having a lazy day today. We piled into my bed and I turned on some cartoons for them and I took a nap. I needed that nap so bad. I woke to Ella saying that her tummy was growling and she was tired of the TV. When I got up, I popped some ibuprofen and downed a bottle of water. I fixed them some lunch (with my homemade bread) and I fixed myself a bowl of enchilada soup (I told you Erin that it would become a regular in my house). That did the trick. I was able to finally clean my kitchen of a few days worth of dishes. I don't think I have ever run out of dishes before...I did today. For the first time all week, the house was clean! I was really tempted to load up everyone and go to the store to get a coke. I have made it this far, I don't want to go back, so I resisted. I really think today was that hump I had to get over. I can't imagine tomorrow being as bad. The girls have been great this week. They have played well and helped out when I need them too.
I am going to go now. I am going to get the house cleaned up so I don't have to face it tomorrow. I plan on getting the girls out of the house for a little while since it has warmed up a little here.
For those back home...I hope you are enjoying the colder than Alaska temperatures!! :P
