This week has been crazy!! Monday I took Chris to the airport at 6am and didn't return home until 6pm. Tuesday-Thursday I was at school by 715-30 am and home by 6 pm, the earliest. Last night I didn't come home from school until 11 PM! Wilson goes to bed by 8 so I haven't had much time with him this week and I have had a hard time with that. My blah/why am i doing this/i hate school/roller coaster mood could be a result of: pressure and deadlines at school, not seeing my wonderful son as much as I would like, or it could be that it is SNOWING right now!! Maybe a combination??
I don't know why I have experienced a roller coaster of moods lately but I do know that today my proprieties, and mood, needed to change a little. I was NOT going to spend the day in the clinic prep room working on a computer surrounded by 30 some other women talking about BS and distracting me from being productive. I was, however, going to spend some much needed time with my little man. (He can always refill my cup.) So I decided to ditch the rules for once and look at the big picture. I had some paperwork (a ridiculous treatment lesson plan) due today at 5 (The rule is "technically" 24 hours before your session so I guess I am not "technically" breaking it until Sunday at 1pm....) but after I finished my treatment session I came home. I had a great lunch with my Dad and Wilson, enjoyed some sloppy kisses (from Wilson, not the dogs), and put my number 1 in bed for his nap.
Just hearing Wilson giggle and say moma when my Dad said, "I hear your mommy...." refilled my soul. Luckily for me, I have some wonderful friends who knew I needed some home time so while Wilson was napping we met at my house to work on yet ANOTHER group project. After Wilson's nap we went on a ride in Papaw's jeep, played in the kitchen, read stories and fixed a good dinner. The time flew by... I can't believe the day is over and everyone (but me) is asleep. I am starting to feel a little more balanced and settled now. Thank goodness.
I can't wait to spend the entire morning with Wilson. Every moment it precious. That, is what Grad School has taught me so far. Every moment.
Sorry to all who have tried to email or call me this week. I do love ya. Now you know my story...
I am know going to try and get a lazy black lab off the couch and go to bed. Good night.

Oh my goodness I feel you pain. I've been so busy with school and so tired that I feel like Jonathan is almost a stranger. And he's been really aggressive with his friends at Preschool which, the non parent director, said can probably attributed to me being in school and not being able to make him a priority anymore. No parent would ever say that to another parent. I cried myself hysterical and called my mom so upset she must have thought someone died. I am so excited to be home with the kids this summer. Dan will be home all summer too. We are both taking one summer school class but other than that we will have a wonderful summer as a family.
love you!

Aren't kids the best! I'm just glad you took the time to re-charge and have a little Wilson time. It probably meant as much to him as it did to you.
Have a great weekend and don't work too hard.
Sometimes I think I need to go back to school or back to work part-time in order to appreciate my girls a bit more. I get so caught up in day to day life at home w/them that I kind of lose perspective and get self-absorbed a little too much.
