Catch up

Evan didn't study for two weeks after he found out he passed the first test...he had a huge project at work and used all the time to work on it. ha He even worked all through Fourth of July weekend. I think he finished the huge part today. Of course, he is back to studying now and playing catch up with that.
I think I got a stye in my eye Fourth of July weekend, and I thought it went away, but now it's starting to irritate me again. I'm having pretty bad allergy problems, too, though, so that probably isn't helping.
I think Noelle's rash is ringworm (?), so I'm treating it as such. I read on Dr. Sears' site that it's okay to treat a rash like ringworm even if it's not, so I'm not worried. ha It makes me feel dirty, though, between that and the stye in my eye. :-) Maybe that's why I've been on a cleaning kick lately.
A couple of days ago I pulled out all of my sewing stuff from Noelle's room (a card table and all the bins/bags which were stacked beneath it and my sewing machine) and put it in my room. I got Noelle's room nicely arranged and ready for her doll house (the closet is not completely hers, but that is just going to be life), but my room was a MESS. I thought I needed Evan's help to rearrange stuff in the garage in order to put my sewing boxes on bottom shelves, but Wednesday I was able to do it all by myself while the kids were playing outside in our "cool" weather (it was 93 degrees at noon) after we had gone to the farm. I even rearranged my closet during Noelle's naptime.
Sometimes I wish my motivation could be more evenly distributed, though. That's what I was thinking on Tuesday night when I was making yogurt, ironing Evan's shirts, washing diapers (I have to remember to turn them on twice, prewash and wash, then get them out to dry overnight), and also needing a shower before bed. Today my motivation has left me, and with my motivation went my good attitude. ha or not ha I went to a "children's museum" with a friend today (she got us in free, hooray!), and the kids had a great time. By this evening I was just tired and feeling sorry for myself because my house was messy since I actually tried to take a nap today then went outside and played with the kids in the pool. I think at supper I just got grouchy thinking that I was so tired and still had to wash dishes, bathe the kids, clean up the house, put Nathan's sheets back on his bed (his once-in-a-blue-moon wetting had to be early this morning), and iron more shirts. BUT I've gotten everything done except the shirts ironed, and I'm still here. ;-)
Wow. How do you like a complaining post? I'm going to be done and start a new one.
