The final leg of this race...

I am soooo tired and the pain killers I took earlier didn’t even phase the back pain.  I know I was supposed to be pacing myself but I guess that didn't work out so good.  I am working at bringing together details for our fund raiser this Saturday evening.  I’ve got more work to do between now and then and I really hope I can get it all done.  I’ll have help the night of the event and that is great.  My in-laws will arrive Friday night.  So on top of everything else we need to get the house looking good enough for guests.  I know that the event will be fun and we’ll enjoy ourselves.  And it should be fun to see how people respond to the chocolate we’ve worked so hard on.  And I know that afterwards I’m going to be really really tired.  But we’ll have guests, even after the party is over.  And Sunday afternoon when I’d like to sleep for four hours to recover from this incredibly long week?  We’ll still have guests.  I have thought about it.  And it’s just going to have to be ok for me to not play the hostess this time.  I am not happy about it.  But I’m thinking that’s just going to have to be the way it is this time.  I'm not built for marathons.  Who am I kidding?  I'm not even built for a good sprint.
