Doing pretty good today. I think I am somewhat hypo, but not too bad. I went running this morning and am about to start working on organizing my office again. Hopefully, I can make some noticeable progress, enough that I can start reading the book for my upcoming book club group because I haven't started yet, and the meeting is coming up soon.
My sister & I are planning out playdates with my daughter and her 3 girls where we'd do something special with one of her daughters at a time as my daughter often feels overwhelmed by all 3 of them. My sister did suggest we do a back to school bash for all of them though - make homemade ice cream, have an indoor picnic, check out a movie from the library (she limits the amount of TV/video her girls can watch), maybe make posters of their goals for the next year. My daughter is going into 5th grade (last year of elementary school!), and she has one going into kindergarten, one into 2nd grade, and a 4 year old. She has homeschooled the second-grader, but she says she can't take it anymore and just needs a break. No kidding. I go over there, and I'm exhausted after 3 hours because all of her girls want something at the same time, all want attention and want to talk. It gets to be a lot.
