It's been a hard week

I have to say- we are down in the dumps a bit. As we were talking about things getting ready this morning, the last two weeks have been a blur. We've both been on edge for the following reasons:

1. The house is still in significant disorder. We finally have the insurance piece ready to go, and Jon signed our contract on Friday to get the ball moving. It will still be another week and half before they can start putting things back in order, and it'll be a few days after that. We are just getting sick of the towels on the floor, the pieces of wall that are randomly everywhere, and the feeling of the concrete everywhere. Our bedrooms are a mess, and I still don't know where anything is.

2. Sam was sick, and so was I. That really stunk, and made this week just about unbearable at some points. Lucky us, we just aren't use to him being grumpy. He had a 104 degree fever through Wednesday, which of course led to both of us missing work at some point this week. No one was sleeping. Thank goodness he started feeling better yesterday.

3. Payton has been testing our patience in the evening. She hates going to bed now. (See Monica, we are paying our dues!). It has turned into such a nasty battle at night, which has caused much anxiety and frustration. She has also been a stinker getting to school on Tuesday's for Jon. crying, tantrums, the whole nine yards.... Our relatively calm evenings have turned into stressful cryfests.

4. We have no groceries in the house. With the craziness of the week, we haven't even had the energy to plan our menu and get to the store. I'm sick of grilled cheese.

It has been a long week, and I haven't had the energy or the time to post much. Please send some positive energy our way- we are needing it now!

Just know you are not alone with your frustrating evenings! At least Payton sleeps in her own bed which is still a step ahead of us. Sending good vibes your way! We love you guys.
