I'm tired

I've had a really long day today. To be honest the last few weeks have been really long. But today was a different sort of long day. After dropping the kids off at school I worked a boutique at a friends house. I set up my Longaberger table and just got to socializing.

This was definitely a soup for the soul kinda day. I didn't answer my phone and just took a me day. I didn't realize exactly how much I needed this. There I was sitting at my table and the women just kept coming and the conversations and laughter really made the day fly by. It's so good to see friends and chat. To just enjoy each others presence. I have to say I have come to rely on my circle of friends for so much in my life. They help make my days better. I have to be honest; in the morning I felt the usual stress of getting ready for a boutique. Do I have enough Wish Lists, Monthly Flyer's & Christmas Supplements? Will anyone stop at my table? I felt rushed as I ran out the door but to be honest I was my own rushing. I really didn't need to put that much pressure on myself but for some reason I always do.

So I rush to my friends house and set up my table and like I said earlier the women start stopping by. Those situations are when I am most relaxed. When I can socialize. I really enjoy a good gab fest and today I got one. So like I said the day flew by. Before I knew it, it was time to pick up the kids from school. I got to gabbing so much I didn't have enough time to pack so I left to pick up the kids and instead of returning quickly I stopped and got some cupcakes at my favorite cupcake shop. My Delight Cupcakery. I went up there for the FOTW which is Pumpkin Breakfast Cupcake and picked up a few others. Like Chocolate Peanut Butter and Dulce de Leche, Coconut Lemon, Strawberry, and Breakfast. I really shouldn't have gone there cause now I feel like a big fat cow with how many cupcakes I ate today! But I must be honest with myself and know I will be back and probably very soon too. It's so sad this addiction I have.

So back down to my friends to pack my stuff and hang out with her for a little while then we all pile back in the car and drive past those same cows that have seen my drive by 4 times today now and head back to town. Only this time instead of going home I head to a different friends house and do some more hanging out and gabbing and just some good ole belly laughing. She even fed me too. I got to eat a yummy chicken pot pie and so did my kids. We left around 8:30 tonight, that's kinda late on a school night but the kids had a blast and I got to do what I do best........talk......I have to say this was a really good day. So when we got home, I cleaned up the kids, and sent them off to bed. Now I'm sitting here in a quiet house and the only sounds I here are the clicking of my keyboard as I type this blog, the fish tank pump, and the dogs breathing as he walks around. Honestly, why is it he has to heavy breath when he walks. He is such a mouth breather. :-D

After the rough couple weeks and the emotional roller coaster I have been on I really needed today. Tomorrow it's back to reality. Back to planning the Harvest Festival. Back to dropping the kids off at school. Back to my normal life and I think I'm ready for it. I really do. Sometimes we just need those disconnect days!

Until Next Time, SoCal Marisa
