Fighting Tiredness

I've been extremely tired lately and haven't done much of anything with myself.  I've still been eating healthy, but haven't been exercising nearly as much as I had been.  I'm sure this week's weigh-in will reflect that fact too.  I've got a list a mile long of things I need to do, but I can't find it within myself to do them.

1) Get ready for Ezra's birthday party. I haven't sent invitations, planned the menu, gotten decorations, or made the treat bags.

2) Finish the garden out back.  I haven't gotten plants for it yet or mulched it.  Although it is all put together and ready to be done.

3) Clean the house from top to bottom before people come over for Ezra's birthday party.

4) Continue getting my walking in because camp is just over two weeks away.

5) Go grocery shopping.  We're pretty much out of food and I have no desire to go get more.  My boys are getting hungry.

6) Find more stuff for the yard sale tomorrow.  Clear out more clutter.

7) Plan my Sunday School lesson for the next 4 weeks, because I've got so much coming up, I'd like to knock that time-consuming one out of the way.

The list could go on and on.  I'm hoping to at least get # 2 and 6 done today and the invitations for #1 done this weekend.  And at least one of #4 would be good.  And part of #7.  All this weekend.  But that means I need to get moving.

It also doesn't help that I put Ezra to bed last night at 9:15 and he ended up not falling asleep until close to midnight.  For some reason, he couldn't sleep.  I eventually brought him to bed with me.  At 11:40 he says, "Mama, I got a boogey."  I was so tired, but I always like to make sure he's asleep before I am.  So I got up and got him a tissue and helped him blow his nose.  Then he eventually fell asleep with his toes stuck in my ribcage, just like when he was a baby in the womb.  Around 3 am, I was tired of getting kicked, so I carried him to his own bed.  Then my internal clock and cat woke me at 6:30.

All that to say, despite my tiredness, I've got to get moving and get some stuff done.
