TGIF

Oh.
My.
WORD.
This week was…trying? Interesting? Overwhelming, exhausting…. I don’t know the word for it. It wasn’t fun.
BUT - none of us have whooping cough. We have antibiotics that we finish tomorrow just in case.
The boy had a REALLY hard week at work, couple with the fact his wife was sick, and he wanted to just stay home but due to clients, and deadlines had to work 64 hours regardless. All in the midst of a huge shift in his work life balance prioritizing…making everything extra painful and hard.
I have been SO SUPER SICK. I seriously don’t remember being lay down on the couch and cannot move sick for four days since I was pregnant last. I just don’t get sick like that. I get whiny grumpy sick, but not like this. I can’t shake it. I just got sick of lying around trying to get comfortable and not being able to, and figured I might as well just keep going. I still just feel poopy.
The wee one officially got spring fever this week, and unfortunately had to stay inside a lot because I was sick. The last couple of days though I took him out and about regardless of the crappy I felt. He’s ALL little boy. We’ve been taking him to parks, and he and his Daddy have so much fun. They (yes they both do) go down slides, and run around and yell. It’s funny - Grant likes to play in the dirt. His father - nope. Daddy tells him no, and Grant looks at me like, “Seriously? Didn’t God make this stuff just for ME?” I can’t explain to him his father’s crazy anal retentive tendency toward things. I also can’t explain to Daddy that if I let Grant do things, he can’t tell him no. It’s getting to be funny…
This weekend we have nothing to do. It’s joyous.
In ridiculous news…WE NEED TO GO TO REDDING CALIFORNIA. I thought we could drive and camp. $800 is what gas would cost. Remember the days when we were in high school and our parents would say, “I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT GAS HAS RISEN TO $1.19?”
Oh no….I’m old. SERIOUSLY though. There is a church there I MUST GO TO. MUST MUST MUST. And I can’t get there because it’s not cool to drop $800 just to drive there. Insane.
Okay - I’m feeling tired so we’ll see if I can lay down and sleep.
HA.
