Really there are a million titles I could have used for this post and that's not to say this is the best one, but it is the way I most feel now. I am TIRED - we are all TIRED! It began SUNDAY with the anticipation of my starting work, but MONDAY it hit hard! MONDAY began with the doorbell at 6am. My father-in-law was an hour early but it was needed because I set my alarm the night before, but I did not enable it. So chaos right off the bat. My meetings went well, but then when I went to organize my room, I was informed I was being moved and yet none of my stuff had yet to be moved. 100 degree weather, pregnant, tired, and anxious to get home... not ideal moving circumstances - OH and I was being moved UPSTAIRS! THEN I get home to a very sad little boy :( So needless to say, a clingy afternoon and a tough night and I was on my own because Andrew had a basketball game.
TUESDAY it all began again but this time, Andrew stayed home. This made me relax more and it made Jackson so very happy. Meetings went well, but then my desk STILL had not been moved. The most important piece of furniture and so I still couldn't get my room done. It arrived three minutes before my 11am meeting. Two hours there and then off to my room. We then had a fire a few miles away from school so when I went to leave, I had to go the round-about way and then I had to go another round-about way to avoide an accident. (sorry had to change a diaper... I lost my train of thought...) Okay, then that night was visiting teaching and I had to cancel the week before because of everything with my grandma, so there was no bailing this week. Then the Relief Society Social - I wanted to go visit my grandma but by then it was so late I figured she would be pretty out of it. Then when I got home around 9pm, Andrew headed out for basketball practice.
WEDNESDAY was no school BUT I had to play catch-up at home like you would not believe. EIGHT loads of laundry and much organization was needed. Ahhh, we were exhausted, Jackson didn't want Andrew to leave for work, he was so clingy with me, he was crying at the drop of a hat, ahhh it was a day let me tell you. Adjustment has not been fun. We went swimming for about an hour which was lovely and not all at the same time. That evening Andrew got home late, I hadn't had a chance to work on anything for school because of Jackson's clinginess, and so when it was time for Young Women's, I didn't know how I was going to pull it off. Jackson was having a tough evening and it was just too much. I went to see if they needed me, turns out I was free to go and I can't tell you the relief that brought. I came home, Andrew left to give our friend a blessing, came home and we put J to bed like a normal night. Then I plowed into my "homework". Oh we are so so sleepy.
THURSDAY was my first day of class - Jackson did pretty well saying good-bye and I think he had a pretty good day overall. It helped I am sure to have a normal morning before I left at 9:15am. My dad and Bri came over when I got home, then when Andrew got home we met my mom at Costco. Last night was tough. We have had Jackson sleep with us twice this week but last night takes the cake. I was up checking on Jackson every 45min. after 11pm because he just kept crying. Then around 2am, Andrew brought Ryan in our room because he was so congested, he wasn't able to breathe real well. Oh he was ticked getting his nose sucked in the middle of the night. Both boys were up by 5am :(
TODAY WE ARE ALL SO TIRED and we are so looking forward to a long weekend. It's been a tough adjustment but it's getting better and I think it will work out well. We have been so blessed this week and I am so grateful to our families for that. As for my grandma, she was able to go to her new home, my parent's house, last night and she's even able to walk around a little - which is AMAZING! So treatment is going well and things are looking up.

P.S. Your grandma is right "this to shall pass." SOOOOO TRUE!

I think I saw every ounce of those words on your face every time I looked at you last week. Exasperated. I wish I had known. Let me know when I can give you a break. Bring the kids over and take a snooze. I'm here. In the mean time...keep up the great work. (By the way, I'll NEVER forget mutual nights! AAAGGHHHH!!!! I had to bring them with me!!!)
