Beyond exhuasted

I honestly don't know if I have EVER felt so completely exhausted in my entire life! I mean like literally wanting to walk like a gorilla with my arms dragging on the ground swaying from side to side moaning with each step... this is exactly how I imagine myself in my head right now-plus a ten pound watermelon strapped to my belly.

I googled exhausted and this picture seemed most appropriate. Not a gorilla- but put my face on this bug and you've got me today!

The closest to this I've ever felt was the day I finally arrived back to America after 24+hours in the air coming from from Turkey. If I remember right, from my half asleep foggy hazed memory, by the time my parents arrived at the airport to pick me up, my body leaned up against the glass wall- entire face smooshed against the glass looking outside for their car ready to about collapse from exhaustion. Remember that exact image Mom? That and only that might beat today. And shoot it was 20 degrees then! NOT 97 degrees with a heat index of 105!!! Ugh!

Ok, I'll try and pause my complaints throughout this blog of how much effort it is to raise my fingers to type right now...try...keyword. Phew! OK- energy boost needed now.

Its been a busy week already for the giant and me. He's at MEPS (military physical) right now. He went up to Richmond yesterday on a military provided shuttle and stayed the night at a hotel. Its a two day event, but the first day is usually meant for applicants to sit for the ASVAB test, but since he's already taken that months ago, he had most of the afternoon and evening to himself. I talked to him throughout the day ::side note:he was a little nervous about me being out in the heat all day so I got many calls "checking in":: - ::side side note:: I love him for that::. Anyways, he's been anxious about his weigh in so he went for a run and worked out a little when he got up there and called it an early night. His day started today at 5AM! My husband. 5AM. That just doesn't compute. But he started with his physical and then was moving on to the contract counseling/drafting/signing and then on to swearing in later on this afternoon. I haven't heard from him yet about this part but I'm anxious to hear how he's doing. Wish I was there. I guess I'll get used to that feeling of being absent from him. Boooo! But YAY for him getting started! Fingers crossed for good news today!

Now on to me... How did I get to the third trimester already?!!! EEEK! I have so many feelings about it, I don't even know where to begin. Excited. Nervous. Petrified. Ready. SO NOT READY. Mind boggled. And pretty much every other possible feeling under the sun. But, happy third trimester to me!

Yesterday was a big day for me. Something I've been working on for months now- the annual Mercedes Benz golf tournament held in Williamsburg VA. This year (again) it got thrown in my lap because I am apparently the only one who has any experience with it or any event planning for that matter. Thank you PMR experience on my resume... Oh and the fact that I work with mostly all men, which lord knows can't plan an entire high faloot'n fancy schmancy golf tournament on their own. Oh what will they do next year?... eh... I'm too tired to care right now! The tournament went great, thank you God. But oh man was it H-O-T-T hot! 95+ degrees from sun up to sun down. Outside all day. No breeze unless someone sneezed. Almost 7 months pregnant. Can't ride a bumpy drink golf cart- :(- you PMRs know why the :( face (this might very well possibly be the most desired job of a golf tournament). Made for a looong day! I ran the show from the hole-in-one (17th) hole all day long and about cooked. Although, luckily, one of the workers with me brought his little battery powered fan that helped keep me cooled because there was absolutely no breeze until around 4:30. No joke. I drank about 3 gatorades and a bazillion waters throughout the day and shockingly I only had to take potty breaks twice- dehydrated much?!

Please ignore my nasty sweaty self but its the only picture i've got from the day. Not attractive. See my little personal yellow fan?

A twelve and a half hour work day yesterday. A ten+ hour work day the day before. I'm beat. Peapod is not though. She is dancing away right now as I type. She feels much higher today. Like in my rib cages... Very weird. Alright, my little tired fingers have had enough typing for this moment. Sorry for the choppy post- I blame exhaustion- shocker!
