A Rough Week

It's been a tough week.  Both the kids have been sick, so they have been feeling miserable and grumpy.  They are so congested and uncomfortable.  They've been waking up in the middle of the night and just having a hard time sleeping in general.  I have been dealing with snotty noses and lots of dirty (sick) diapers.

Alex is now a quick, adventurous, and skilled crawler.  We are so excited for this new milestone, but it has definitely been a game changer.  Taking care of both the kids, especially on my own, has been a lot more exhausting!  Alex gets into everything and unknowingly frustrates his big sister on a regular basis.   

On top of all that, Jimmy has been working late and is also stressed and exhausted.  It's makes for an extra long day for me.  Sadly, this also gives him very little time with the kids.  Once he gets home, it's usually time to put the kids to bed.  We've been letting them stay up a little bit longer, but there is never enough time in the day :( 

It's just been one of those weeks.  I'm hoping the kids get better soon and Jimmy can get home earlier.  Even though we see each other every day, Jimmy and I talk about how much we miss each other!  Once the kids are in bed, we eat, do some chores, and are so exhausted that we go straight to bed.  I'm just ready for our pace to slow down a little bit!
