I'm positively exhausted right now, which is, I suppose, better than being negatively exhausted. See? I must be really tired if I'm trying to be witty in my blog.

Cory left around 7:30 this morning and spent an exhausting day helping his brother build a new garage. It sounds as if they were well fed by our sister-in-law, though. He'll be there tomorrow and for part of Friday, too. I spent some of the day picking up on the upstairs landing and in Accalia's room, knowing they'd have friends over in the afternoon. Accalia had art, so we dropped her off and then picked up C. and A. at school. They were here until a little after 6 p.m., as were the three neighbor girls. Five extra children in the house definitely saps my energy, but they all got along well for the most part.

Tonight Cole and Ella had baths, and I've been trying to catch up on work and emails. I even ordered new diapers for Ella - just boring old prefolds. Accalia's been flitting around going from one project to another. She seems a little lost tonight.

I talked with my doula today and found out that the doctor I used with Ella's pregnancy (also my GYN) will be moving at some point in the foreseeable future. That sucks because there's not another doctor nearby that I would want to see for a pregnancy, so that means traveling a bit. This is assuming I will have a future pregnancy, of course. There's a birth center opening up in Norfolk, NE, which is about 50 miles away, and that may be something to investigate. There will be an open house next weekend, and I may try to go to that. I drove about 30 miles to see my last doctor, so this wouldn't be too much more of a stretch. It's just that I would lose out on only being two minutes from the hospital and being able to go in minutes before giving birth. Anyway, this isn't something that will be happening in the near future, so I won't dwell on it too much.

There's nothing scheduled for tomorrow, so we'll see what pops up.
