I am gloriously exhausted.
I went to bed last night at 1 am....which has not happened in many many years. But you see, my sweet husband got me and my girlfriend tickets to see The Dixie Chicks on their first US Tour in years. We went to Dallas, ate at a cute little restaurant in the renovated area of downtown and then jammed out for 4 hours.
I was so stinkin excited. The Dixie Chicks CDs provide so many great memories throughout high school and college. It reminds me of so many sweet people from my past and singing my heart out on long road trips during college...either on my way home or to other schools for away games.
I could care less about what they said ..I mean they probably shouldnt' have said it but I dig their music, their passion, their artistry.
So that was last night and this morning I was up at 5 (my body thrives off a routine) running, doing a 10 min WOD and then we were off to the lake for a full day of swimming and boating with our sunday school class.
It was a great last weekend before school starts this Thursday. The kids are thrilled with the teachers they have and knowing that each has a bestie or two in their homeroom. We have all of our uniforms together, new lunch boxes (its ridiculous how hard we are on lunchboxes----we can make a bookbag last 2/3 years but not our lunchbox!), new shoes, belts and then for our 12 year old who insist on growing an inch on some limb a week we have to get a new batting helmet, new cleats and a new glove.......and of course he doesn't tell us until we are at the ball field!!!!!!!
