Yesterday was one of those days. One of those days when you need to get out the new box of milk before you can eat your cereal in 0.2 seconds. One of those days where the tube of toothpaste is basically empty and you have to try really hard to get anything out of it. One of those days where you have extra marking to pack up and lug around with you when you're already late for school. One of those days where other families need to use the elevator at the same time as you and their kiddo's aren't exactly ready to be "on the move". One of those days where you can't get into the car from one side because another car decided to park EXTRA close to yours. One of those days where you have one prep period and the fire alarm decides to go off every time you try to teach something. One of those days when a colleague cups your "belly fat" and tells you that you are fat and that you need to exercise. One of those days where you have two minutes at home before heading back out to tutee number one. One of those days where you have twenty minutes at home before rushing back out to tutees number two and three. One of those days when you get home after your baby is sleeping and you're too tired to have a real conversation with your husband. Oh wait - those last two things have been happening for over a week! Awesome.
You can see why this picture seems all the more appropriate. My life is currently on fast forward and I'm counting down the days until I can press pause. School and After School are insane. My Nory time is NULL - in fact I haven't even been able to use my "two hours a day" because of how hectic things are in the classroom. Bah. I miss her. I miss Phil. And I miss the days where I was able to come home from work before 9 p.m.!!!!
Phil's days have been INSANE too! He's the man of the house - the guy who gets all the chores done and takes the best care of our little girlie. Phil's been putting Nory to bed and getting up with her every night to minimize my stress. He insists I sleep through the night and has never once complained even though I know he's exhausted as ever and would appreciate a second to himself.
Thank goodness for teamwork and the greatest teammate on the planet! We made a financial decision to work overtime this month and it just might result in a cozy little house.
Three more weekends until "forever weekends"!!!! (If we survive until then....ha!)
