Surprises, Keeneland, Football and MORE!

So this past weekend I went home to Lexington for my mom's birthday. She didn't know I was coming, it was so much fun to surprise her...I am not good at keeping secrets, so the fact that I was able to keep this from her for a good month, was amazing to me! But I surprised her Friday morning, and met her and my dad for breakfast and her face was priceless, there were tears, it was really good! I was just happy that she was actually surprised! I thought she had to have some idea that I was going to be there, but she was completely surprised, so that made it really special. 

We had a jam packed weekend, she took me shopping on Friday, such a good mom, to take me shopping, while I was there for her birthday, Friday was her party, and it was some party...her friends are crazy, but fun, I hope I'm that fun and have friends like that when I am that age! Saturday we went to Keeneland, which was insanity, there were so many people there! Then my mom and I went to the UK game, we left at half time because they were losing and it was real cold, of course they went on to win the game in the last quarter and we missed it! Oh well, I'm just glad they won! Then I left Sunday morning.

Fast weekend, busy weekend, but so fun! I love going home and seeing my family! I LOVE it! I just love being home, there is no place like it. It is good to come home to people I love too, I must say. I do feel like I have made a family here for myself, which feels pretty darn good. Not quite the same as Kentucky, but if I can't be in there, this is where I want to be! I love my friends I have made in Fort Worth and I feel so blessed they're in my life. So that's all I'm going to say about that, I love my family...both of them! 

Still Exhausted...

Well, I'm in Lubbock this weekend with Bethany at a Peddler Show, I would be thrilled to be here and help her...except I feel like my head is about to explode. I think I might have a sinus infection, but I'm not positive because I don't know if I have ever had one, and I don't know what one feels like, all I know is that my whole head hurts...bad. The worst part is that I feel like I did it to myself. If you read my previous post(notice I just said "read" not "understood") then you should remember I have been so tired and have not been getting good rest, and was working a lot, and wasn't eating very well. WELL...here I am now, sick! AWESOME. It started out as a bad cough, and then just congestion, and now my entire head is hurting. It stinks that it's this weekend, because I want to be able to help Bethany as much as I can, but I also know that I need to take care of myself and get as much rest as I can. I talked to Emily today...I am so excited that the Sims family will be here too...but she is sick too...it sounds like we have the same thing. Not good. I hope that we can both get better and feel good so that we can actually enjoy ourselves.

I really feel like I need to start being smart with my time and taking care of myself better. It has been really hard lately because we have people at our apartment all the time...which I LOVE...I REALLY do! For you reading this, who always ask me...you know who you are:) But as much as I love it, I kind of feel like I'm sick now, let me check....yeah, I am. And I know that my work schedule was a little crazy there, so that has some to do with it, but at the same time, when I have to be up at 8, it's not good for me to be up til 2! I just need to start disciplining myself! It has been so fun to have people over, and cook and bake, and have stuff to look forward to, and plan ahead...but it's not going to be fun if I can't look forward to it because I am sick! So, I am going to start making a point of taking good care of myself...(are you proud of me momma?)

Well, I will let you know how this weekend goes, and if we get to feeling better, please pray for us, because I know this is the worst I have felt, not like ever in my life, just in the past 3 days, since it all started, anywho...I am hoping it can't get worse than this, and I know that Emily felt real bad too. I am off to make my momma proud and get GOOD REST!

Exhaustion

I have never in my life been more exhausted than I am right now. In the past 3 days, I think I have gotten approximately 10ish hours of sleep. I was up for about 20 hours on Sunday, went to sleep for about 5 hours and am up again. What day is it? I was at work Sunday morning at 6am! If this blog isn't making sense than it's because I have never been more exhausted in my life. I am going to try and make a goal to go to bed tonight at a decent hour, and get good sleep! I don't have to work tomorrow, thank you Lord! I WILL be sleeping in! I can get everything I need to get done, and catch up on stuff. This weekend I am going to Lubbock for Bethany's second Peddler Show, I am excited, AND Britt and Emily will be there, so I am excited to catch up with them! Back to my work stuff, I worked Sunday at 6am, for 8 hours, we were doing a new floor set. I didn't know how it was going to go, being there at 6am, for 8 hours and all, I must say, it was not bad...not bad AT ALL! I kept thinking, where is the time gone? And then, I had to work today, did NOT know how I was going to make it, but I did it, we still had stuff left over from yesterday's floor set(that was yesterday???) that we didn't get done, so I was able finish that! I was so happy because I didn't know how I was going to stand in the front of the store greeting customers all day, I was afraid I would've fallen asleep standing up. So what I am saying is, I enjoyed work the past 2 days, and if I could just do that kind of stuff there...the floor set stuff, I would have no problem, but there are days, I am so bored out of my mind, I want to quit! I have started to get to know the managers, and I feel like they are starting to get to know me, and my personality, and I don't know if I want to quit. I'm so confused. 

I apologize, because I don't really know what this post is about, except to say I am so tired.
