Everyone has their ups and downs, that's all part of it. So right now it's our turn to be up, even if it's just a little higher than we were, it's a struggle. It's like climbing a mountain in a snow storm, it's like walking through the desert without water, you don't know where you are, how far you've come, how far is left.
We finally switched our room around, again. Bought a third crib mattress and we now have both girls in toddler beds and the baby moved in to his crib. It's been incredible to sleep in our bed again, kid-free. We have the most amazing memory foam mattress, cost a fortune, but totally worth it. The last month about, we've been sleeping in our living room, on the floor, rotating between couches and pull-outs vs. regular couch position, all while baby Francisco has been living it up in our bed. WELL NOT ANYMORE. Everything is sorted out, everyone is sleeping where they belong and it's been amazing. We haven't gotten up and out of bed before 9 anyday this week. It's helped that we've been outside A LOT. Going to the bay, playing in the yard during the day (before Grandma and the rest of the psychotic family gets home) swimming and running and yelling. It's really been tiring us out. We are adjusting to life with us both home, Paul hasn't been to work with his father or anyone else in almost 2 months (by choice) and it has been a major bump in the road establishing a schedule and delegating chores and responsibilities.
School has been amazing. It feels so good to learn something and get A's on tests and feel like I am actually doing something with my brain, it's not dead in there, it's just been sleeping, or on vacation. Taking a five year sabbatical in Antarctica perhaps.
Anyway. You know.
