do we all have this problem???
I feel like if I gave away parts of myself to whoever wanted them there no only would be nothing left, but I'd be in the Negative. they'd dig a hole where I used to be LOL
like today:
I was to take care of getting FIL's house cleaned
my d.sil is extra needy b/c her birthday is near
I have friends who need me. sometimes quite a lot.
my son is clingy b/c dh isn't home
the cat & dog must be near me Always
my husband's brother is coming for a weekend visit that I just found out about and he thinks it should be Party Time and
I've been sick all week
I promised the school book fair lady I'd help her today Do or Die (looks like it's the latter)
my clients have high expectations right now
and... the icing on the cake...
my nice neighbor just locked his keys in his car, running, across town, and I just slimly got out of taking care of that. (I'd LOVE to help him out but there's just Not Enough Of ME for it all)
how fun is this??? anyone else having this much fun??? LOL

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
