i'm so tired tonight! my lower back aches, and i don't know why.

i had planned to attend a ladies' night out dinner party at a friend's house, and was really looking forward to the social time... but josh came down with something and didn't feel up to watching the kids, and i wasn't able to find a last-minute babysitter. i'm super disappointed, but i know if i got sick and he had plans for the evening, he'd cancel them to stay home and help me out.

i have several loads of laundry to fold and put away, a few dishes to clean, and lots of odds and ends to pick up and straighten around the house. i love going to sleep with a clean, tidy house, so i think after i get the kids to sleep, i'll do all my chores. i never thought i'd view doing housework as "me" time, but sometimes i really look forward to taking care of all the little things when the house is quiet and still! if i get them to bed early enough, i may even have time to curl up on the couch with a blanket and read my book for a while!
