Perhaps it’s that my youngest finished Kindergarten on Tuesday, while my oldest doesn’t finish 4th grade until next week….
Perhaps it’s that post-ear doctor visit I still cannot hear clearly out of my left ear (apparently it will clear on it’s own…and it takes time…note my skepticism)….
Perhaps it’s end of school-year fatigue (how many concerts/art shows/class project presentations, etc can one attend in the course of a week?)…
Perhaps it’s that I haven’t been sleeping well – I deal with bouts of insomnia from time to time…
It’s probably a combination of all of the above that’s left me feeling just a step off all week. It hasn’t been a bad week at all…and I’ve even managed to get my workouts in. There’s been a little less running due to the inability to get up uber-early (not sleeping well will do that!) – but there has been some running, even track work today, along with strength training, yoga and running around in whatever new game my son has invented for us in the backyard.
I’m sure next week will be a bit more of the same until 4th grade is complete and lacrosse and t-ball season wind down. Then we can all shift gears into summer mode!
I so hear you on this! My kids finished up last week and I was so ready for school and all the many end-of-year activities to be DONE! Somehow, however, this week has seemed even tougher, I think b/c the reality of how little time I have for myself now hit. We’ll get there…
I too struggle w/ bouts of insomnia and that usually creates the domino effect. This week, traveling created the perfect insomnia (it’s never easy sleeping solo in a hotel) and I think that was part of the reason I fell on my run 🙁 Along with that, I plugged in my laptop at the hotel, then went digging in my laptop bag for the cord. Yeah, already plugged it in Lisa….
Ouch Lisa I hope it wasn’t too bad of a fall! And you had me laughing about plugging in your laptop – I did that twice this week too 🙂
definitely struggling this week Michelle I feel your pain. I am exhausted from work, kids end of school year activities and lacrosse tournaments. I can’t wait to settle into some sort of summer routine, but I know that I am now going to be up at 0 dark thirty to be able to get my workouts in. Hope your ear is better soon.
Thankfully my fourth grader and my Kindergartener both have one more week of school. Of course, I have to be at the school nearly every day that week, but at least I have one more week to get everything done…
What is it with having to be at the schools daily towards the end? Sheesh.
Mine just finished on Thursday. We are settling in to a low key summer. Not a lot planned for a while. So far it’s sleepover overload. Haven’t seen much of my almost 7th grader already.
Hang in there.
I’m so sorry Michelle. It sounds like things have been rough for you lately. Is the ear thing from when you were sick?
