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.

Look at that sweet face! I'm sure you will be able to find that balance soon. You are one smart cookie!
