THURSDAY
7am roll my stiff back, pain in the foot self out of bed after another 1am night and nightmares (what is with the nightmares??)
8:30am take 5 boys to speed camp
go to chiropractor with a list of ailments and get a very thorough adjustment...the best.
run home to slip my walking shoes on and head to the pond for a walk
11:30 teach Art at summer school to future 2nd graders.  we painted and it was messy, but slightly awesome too.
4pm home: headache bc i got a little overheated on my walk and haven't been able to shake it, work out camping logistics for the boy for Friday, work out scout details so the boy can finally complete his final requirements for a particular rank, both of those included lots of phone calls and coordinating (and panic on my part for some reason), work out sleepover details because the boy and his cousin were planning something at grandma's, confirm with grandma, then see a friend of the boy's mosey in and reconfirm that now there's a friend involved in the sleepover, frustration that in all the logistic arranging i didn't have time to make dinner
6:30pm bummed that i couldn't make it to the free workout with my old trainer, but still getting life together and feeling super torn about the 7pm school board meeting i really wanted to attend to know who my new principal would be and the 7:30pm meeting with the cousin.  spent waaaaaay to much time stressing about them both while still working on all of those shenanigans i started working on at 4pm.
7pm missed the school board meeting (i was so anxious to attend!)

so with boys in tow decided to head over to the meeting with the cousin where they would entertain themselves until it was over and then i would take them to the grandma's and then i would go home and soak in a bath. but then i couldn't find the meeting place.  and my air conditioner stopped working in the car. eventually i stopped the car in the middle of the road at sat there for a few minutes to get myself together. until another car came and was all like, go! (the boys laughed and consoled while i melted down and then gathered my puddled self...and then i laughted at myself too;)
so i ditched the 7:30 meeting too....i'm awesome. (that's 3 overlapping meetings in one night and i ditched them ALL)
i went on the 25minute jaunt to drop off the boys.  at which point i became quite social and ended up sitting and chatting and laughing until 1:45am at the boy's grandma's kitchen table.
2:30ish home in bed and not wanting to have another day like Thursday again for a long time.

FRIDAY
10:30am woke up!  it was a christmas miracle to sleep in so late.  i don't even think there were nighmares involved.
got my stiff backed body (less painful feet) ready and left by 11:15 for the boys.
12:15 the boys workout with the cousin's boyfriend (AKA hardcore, high dollar trainer for free).  they were nervous and excited. 
i ran to central market to multi-task (AC-less)
1:15 back at the garage to pick up the near death teenagers (almost throwing up, drenched in sweat, lying on the floor for about 15 minutes before we can even leave...that kind of near death)  while they were on the ground one of them said, how much would it cost to come here?  apparently they were still motivated even amongst all the pain and exhaustion.
in our non AC car i drop one boy off at his house and my own at our house and head to HEB because the boy has some cooking on his campout to do and a list of need-to-gets and so off i go.  he showers and naps, i run to the store.
3:30 home to frantically prepare food (the boy, not me) and pack for the campout. it's wilderness survival so it has to only fit in 1 grocery bag (ha!).  back to working logistics bc well, not possible.  he got to take a cooler and a container cause he was the cook.
4:25 load car and leave for a 5pm sharp arrival to a place 45 minutes away. get a text that i have an email about the new principal (it's okay i didn't attend the school board meeting).
5:05 arrive sweating (no AC) and settled.  the boy is good to go...sigh.
i decide on the way home i deserve a snowcone (sweating)
it's friday at 5pm and there is a ton of traffic.  while i am overheating i go way out of my way for said snowcone, get the snowcone, leave, and at the next stoplight my car takes a turn at overheating.  i park my smoking car at the nearby gas station.  i sit and eat my snowcone before i even acknowledge it.  call mechanic, get instructions.  about 30 minutes later i call my uncle just to confirm a detail and while we're talking i see him randomly sitting at the stoplight next to the gas station with my aunt!  heros;)
get car home in time for it to begin smoking again.  don't even care cause i'm home. go upstairs, eat a salad, take a bath, go to bed.
i did text and the boy's dinner went beautifully....1/2 of the final requirement down!

SATURDAY
6am up and printing church camp (EFY) details for the boy because he leaves on Monday (in 2 days and i have no car).
7:30am adding water to the car so I can get to the mechanic
7:45 aunt comes to follow
8am arrive smoking again but i don't even care cause i'm there! mechanic promises a 4pm completion (radiator, AC, oil leak, and inspection....did i mention i'm awesome?)
8:45am home
9:30am boy arrives with 2 rank advancements COMPLEte! (seriously spent a couple hundred dollars finishing that last advancement, omg)
10:15 blogging because this has been crazy

still on the agenda for today
NAP
cut the boys hair (he'll need another shower but whatev)
4pm pick up car (sweet, beautiful, fixed little car)...technically life will still be productive while i nap;)
get last minute items the boy needs to pack
get him completely packed and ready
pick up bread for sacrament and get church clothes ready because we have to be there early...& we are never early.
the boy wants to go back to the grandma's bc grandpa promised to take him to practice driving. (we'll see)

SUNDAY
early to church
lazy restful time together
a visit with some good friends from church...Mario and Luigi may be on the guest list:)

MONDAY
take the boy to old San Anton' for a week of spiritual enlightenment, good friends, and cute girls.
i will do whatever i want...


UPDATE:

• car is 1/2 way complete (radiator, thermostat, and AC working!) ...oil leak and inspection scheduled for Tues
• the boy is not packed, but we've got everything he needs
• we did go have dinner at his grandma's for his grandpa (no driving), and then went to pick up a suitcase at his aunts at which point we wound up singing karaoke.  that's normal, right?
• home at 1am to the most awful sound I've ever heard....the AC in our apartment died
• cut the boys hair and got him in the shower (yes at 1am), cleaned up all the hair
• turned on every fan in the house to prepare for the inevitable heat...do they repair ACs on Sundays??
• got clothes ready for church
• blog again (see NAP above if you're wondering about all this late night energy)
• rescheduling tomorrow a smidge so we're ready for a good spiritual, productive, and happy sunday
• we'll be getting bread in the morning on the way to getting to church early (not how that was supposed to go)
• and we'll likely be regretting all this 1am mumbo jumbo when we are slow to get going tomorrow morning
• wish us luck...especially regarding the AC (blasted Texas heat!)
