Exhaustion!

Well as many of you know it is that time of year and we are now just two weeks into the start of a new school year. Is it summer time yet???
I believe that Ian will come to know this as his second home. Tim will come on occasion towards the end of school if I have a lot of work to catch up on that way I can still be with him. Ian seems to love it though -he kicks and plays and love all the attention my old and new students and co-workers give him but only as long as I have fed him first.

Lately Tim says that Ian is happy and playing all day but at about 2-2:30 he starts to cry even if he has just finished eating until I get home. Once I get home and feed him he is happy and ready to go all over again. While it is sad that he cries while I am gone, it does make me feel good to know that he misses me. It has been hard to leave him and at times I am utterly exhausted that I am not sure if I will be able to lift another finger but yet we still manage to make it through -day by day- and hurray for this four day weekend.

Tim's mom came out to visit for a few days. It was great to have her here and help Tim adjust to watching Ian during the days. When she arrived Ian seemed happy to see her and was full of smiles. She even watched Ian a couple times while Tim was taking tests for school, which was a big help.

After Tim's mom left we were in quite a pickle. Tim has to takes test every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for his class. The good news is that it only lasts a couple weeks but tests can only be taken those days during specific times of the day -while I am at work. Luckily we have amazing neighbors and I mean amazing!!! Wonderful Lisa took care of her two children and watched over Ian as well. Talk about a full house. We are forever grateful! But don't they both look so cute in their little baseball outfits and they are defiantly entertained. Thanks again!

So when you look to our blog next Tuesday to see what exciting things we have done over this wonderful four day weekend. You will see nothing because nothing is exactly the kind of vacation that we, ok maybe mostly I, need the most.

I hope you were able to enjoy yourself this weekend. I can't imagine the exhaustion you must feel, work, baby, home. Never a rest for you. Hang in there. You & Tim seem to be doing a wonderful job with it all.
