this past week has been one of the busiest and most exhausting of my life. let's go back to LAST weekend - the 14th, 15th, and 16th. i had to go to camden friday after work to do hair/make-up for a wedding on saturday morning. i hadn't really gotten to spend any time with my brother, so he and i stayed up til about 2:30 am watching movies and just hanging out. i had to be at the bride's house at 6:30 am, so i was up at 6. that's 3 1/2 hours of sleep. i did hair and make-up, came home and ate breakfast, got ready, went to the wedding and reception, got in my car and came straight back to greenville where i got re-ready and went out. liz and i ended up staying at john's until about 3 am. got up at 9 the next morning to head to clemson to help gray move into his new house. got home at 4, went to the gym and worked out hardcore, met liz at the grocery store, then had john, joe, and aaron over for a huge dinner. john, joe, and liz and i ended up staying up til about 1 eating ice cream and watching talking. then began my week of moving. good grief. i worked every night (with jaime and liz) til about midnight (or later) packing and moving huge, heavy, cumbersome boxes to lindsey's house. all this on top of waking up at 6:30 am, working all day, and working out in the evenings. friday night we ended up going out with john and stayed out til about 2, then i was up until 3:30 taking care of a situation. i got up at 9 on saturday morning to workout and take care of a few last minute things before my mom and the movers came. we moved all day, and i was unpacking, organizing, unloading all day. at 8 liz and i got ready and went to dinner and ended up staying up til about 2 watching a movie. we got up at 9 and went to church, and after church i went to the grocery store, took 2 more loads (the last loads - finally) from my apartment to the new house, and went to bed, bath and beyond. i finished unpacking everything but my bathroom (since i don't technically have one), put together a shoe rack, and did a little rearranging/decorating. i was up until 3 am, because i couldn't sleep and because i was talking. i got up at 8:30, ate some cereal, then started getting ready for work, which was quite the ordeal considering my bathroom situation.
to say that i am worn out is the understatement of the century. my body is covered in bruises from moving furniture and boxes and tripping over crap i have laying around everywhere. my muscles are sore from working out on top of lifting and carrying and moving. i am completely wiped out. but there's no rest for the weary. i have something every night this week and another very busy weekend. i can't really see the light at the end of the tunnel yet - but i'm trying to depend on grace to just get me through each moment. i am VERY ready for september 7th - labor day, and a VACATION day! oh man. i can't wait to sleep. i bet i sleep all day long, and that's just fine. i'm going to let myself sleep all day and do absolutely nothing. i've earned it.
