Didn’t sleep well again last night. I am about to my limit on tiredness. Not sure what to do about it. Thinking my thyroid is way too low. I am going to call Monday and see if I can get it checked. I feel wired and am having trouble settling which happens when my TSH levels are too low.

Stayed busy keeping the grandkids fed today. Ellexia ended up spending the night so I had both of them all day. Tagen got up before I did and he had a bowl of cereal. When Ellexia got up I fixed both of them pancakes and scrambled eggs. For lunch they wanted noodles with Alfredo sauce. They had s’mores at some point this afternoon. They also hit up the chips. I really had forgotten how much teenagers can eat in one day.

Michelle took the kiddos to visit Craig and Nancy for the weekend. I’m sure they will all have fun and it will be a nice break for the kids from me and me from them.

My three guests showed up early afternoon. They dropped off their bags and went out on their first adventure of the weekend. Not sure what their plans are for the evening.. I will check with them at some point tonight so see what time they want breakfast in the morning. I need to decide what I am fixing them. I have three different menus I can use so will have to decide on one of them and see if I need to do anything tonight to get it ready.

I am planning on going to KC tomorrow afternoon. I need to make a big Costco haul and stock my pantry with snacks for the kiddos. I will drop by a party Nicole and Geoff are hosting for a hot minute and then come home. I will need to get home so I can get to bed so I can get up early Sunday morning to fix breakfast.

It will be nice tomorrow to have a bit of down time after I get breakfast fixed and served. I don’t feel I have sat in the silence much this last week and my body needs some. I will get some again Sunday after breakfast and before the kids get home Sunday evening. We shall see what next week brings.

Next week I have got to get back painting the deck. This week was too full of chaos for me to even think about it. We will find a rhythm and get everyone settled in soon and I will be able to get back to doing things I need to do.

I don’t have anything on my calendar for next week. It will be good to have a stay at home week and give me a chance to catch my breath. Tagen may get released from concussion protocol and will be able to get out and do his own thing. A empty house day sounds good to me right now!

Grateful the kids stayed fed and happy today, grateful my guests arrived safely, and grateful for some empty space time.
