Tired and Sore... Oh My!

I've been cooking, cleaning and working... also fighting off a virus or some such thing for the past week and a half. We just sent our neice on her way with her Mother, Grandmother and her sister this morning. They all stayed at the house last night which was nice, but we don't have guests a lot and rarely four at a time so I was rushing around getting everything ready for everyone.

I get embarrassed about my house because I'd like to have a nicer one, but I don't...and I'd always like it to be cleaner and more organized...but it isn't.... and I'd like to have more energy to do the projects in my head to decorate it cuter... but I don't. So I just did what I could, made it comfortable for them. Cooked them Mexican food like they requested and homemade brownies for the girls.. So it was nice.

We had a birthday party to go to this afternoon for a client/friend that I made a lemon drizzle cake to share this morning after they left. It was a nice party since I hadn't seen these people for a long time and we got to reconnect with one of my favorite doctors that was there too. Really nice people. We spent the whole time talking to him and his wife. We got back home just in time for Greg to watch the USC game.... I should take a nap before we have to go to his parents house to watch a movie.

I'm splurging on us if she will have us. We have a woman coming over to our house tomorrow to talk to us about cleaning our house once or twice a month. I don't have a big house or even a fancy house... but I'm seriously not very good at it or do I have the energy or the time. We are getting really busy at work and I'm training for my black belt (even if it IS a few years away...I still train four nights a week after working five days a week).... and I do physical therapy three times a week.. I run out of time... so we'll see if she wants to do it for us and it would be great to have someone to help me and then I can just focus on other things.
