we finished off our last night w/out the kids by staying at the convention playing “I am not a werefolf” until 3:30 a.m. by the time we got to the hotel and asleep it was well after 4.  we set the alarm to get us up at 8:30 so we could get packed up and to Dean’s parents house by 11 a.m. so they could prepare for a party they were hosting this afternoon.  We went home got Zeke to nap, had lunch and headed to the Pool. there was a picnic we knew we were going to go to this evening, so we left the pool around 4:30 to come home to let the boys nap and be at the picnic at 6. when we got home our friend had called and when he called back he asked where we were, apparently the lack of sleep, busyness and feeling crappy(it’s been a bad fibromyalgia week or two again) we discovered I’d made the mistake of thinking the picnic started at 6 but indeed instead it was 4-6. we found out after the boys were all nice and asleep in their beds for a late nap.  blah….Dean woke up Caleb and they are heading to the picnic, the event was mainly to help us get plugged into a small group, an event we helped facilitate and I made this dumb mistake of not showing up at the right time. I had just put a tray of brownies in the oven while Dean put the boys in bed, so I guess when the brownies are done I will wake up the boys and we’ll head to the last 30 minutes of the picnic, luckily it’s only about 5 minutes from our house, if that.
tomorrow morning Bo and Caleb get tubes in their ears. I am probably putting a call into my dr to find out what else I can do to help me feel better…I think most of the problem is because I havent been taking my exercise class, the one week was for various reasons, this week we were away and this week again our mornings are too full.  but theres got to be something else to help me feel better than forcing myself to exercise when I dont have the time or the energy….i’ve been taking tylenol round the clock in addition to my other pain meds and am still in pain. i cant take any ibuprofen type meds so tylenol is my only option. I’m feeling even worse today due to lack of sleep, but boy did we have fun playing games all night.
it was a rough day back at home. zeke is very fussy. I dont know if it’s just because he’s been off schedule or what but he’s been unbearably fussy. Bo is acting different but it’s not necessarily better or worse. Caleb is back to his rude self now that we are home, mostly arguing w/ Dean, as is always his problem.   we’re tired, the kids are tired.  so I hate to have to wake them up from a much needed nap to go to this event but we really need to be there. I cant believe I made such a stupid mistake. blah…..
