Bunnies!

Parker and I have a very important appointment this morning. He has a big photo shoot with REAL bunnies!! There is a photography place in town that has a special during Easter where they will do a 15 minute shoot with a 5x7 to take home that day for $20, or you can get an 8x10, (2) 5x7s, and (6) wallets for $45. I am super pumped to go take advantage of this!

He also turned 3 months yesterday...where has the time gone????
He has such a great personality! He has a wonderful smile, loves fart noises (I mean, he's a boy, makes sense, right?), eats his hands, loves his new play mat, and has a great time at daycare. He is so much fun! Oh, and he sleeps through the night with only an occasional "odd" night where he will wake up. He usually sleeps from 10p-5:45a. Yep, lucky.

Only 17.5 days left of the school year!! Then I get to play with little man everyday...I am so looking forward to it!

Yep, that's about right


 
If gas prices don't come down, I am going to have a cow. Literally. A cow. Or...I am going to be figuring out how long it would take me to get in a buggy with a horse and ride to work. I might have to leave at 3am to be there by 7:45, but I may need to if we want to eat! UGH!!!

Exhausted

P sleeps through the night. I am quite lucky. But, I am EXHAUSTED! Going back to work, keeping the house clean with a yellow lab living in it, entertaining a child, and just living in general have made me so tired.

Going back to work has been insane. I have so much stuff to do at the end of the year. It is super overwhelming right now. I am just ready for summer break!

The house seems to get dirty every 5 seconds. I just did a huge clean on Sunday and now it is a mess again. I am a smidge tired of having Truman. I love the dog to pieces and would hate to be without him, but the dog hair makes me feel dirty. Even though I'm not. I promise. It just gets to be too much. I seem to vacuum every other day and then sweep in between those days.

Entertaining P is fun, so there is NO complaint there!

Living in general is just different. Balance. That is key...and it is hard. I do a lot of work at home, and I feel guilty doing it. So...I tend to not do a lot of work at home right now. Mr. S. has been sick, so I have been taking care of P a little more than usual. He was putting him to bed so that I could go to bed early, but he has felt so rotten that he has been going to bed before me. Then he leaves Friday to go on a work trip until next Thursday...yep, I am on my own. My mom is staying all weekend and we have a girl that is staying at our house Mon.-Thurs. while she is contracted to work here in town. That should help me, at least knowing there is someone here if I REALLY need help. I won't depend on her because she is here doing her own thing, but I just want to know that someone is upstairs in case I have a meltdown!

*yawn* I need to cook dinner...and grade papers...and get P from his swing...*sigh* But I wouldn't trade it for anything.
