Thankfully



I love it when I find a random picture on my laptop I didn't know was being taken. Here's to the one child that doesn't toss and turn for hours and enjoys going to bed. He helps keep the night time routine a bit more sane.

Yes I do


My mom asked if I looked pregnant now... yep. That would explain not blogging as well. I feel like I put myself on bed rest for the last 5 months. It sounds lame, but I’ve been tired people! For a few months, all systems would start shutting down around 6 in the evening and I would feel like I had the flu. Some nights I’d crawl into bed after the kids were down without brushing my teeth or changing my clothes. Couple that with Michael studying for boards and being gone from 6 in the morning to 9 at night for five months and you’ll find me bursting out to him that “I’m ready to quit it all.”

Don’t panic though, it got his attention, but even in the moment I said it I wasn't sure exactly what I meant and knew I didn’t really want to quit anything. As with most struggles, things are getting a little easier with time. I have some of my old get up and go in recent days. Now I just need to put back in order what went wild during the tough times.
