One week down..

how many more to go? Now I understand the meaning of "burning the candle from both ends", it seems no matter how many hours of sleep I'm getting, I still feel tired. I have been trying to go to sleep by 9:30pm, up at 5.. but then my husband has the TV on at 1 & it's LOUD.. he walks with the walker to the bathroom, and it's LOUD.. :( I heard Grace get up a few times last night, I went to comfort her.

I have tried thinking that this is like single parenting..but I do think it's a little more intense than that.. my single parenting is with Grace and #mytribe has been so great with her..and we are finally all at a place where we are using the same words, the consistencies with her and she is thriving.. then throw my husband back in the mix (who literally hasn't been around physically for almost two weeks) and it's hard to get him to change his "responsive" behavior to Grace's excitements or 'bad' behaviors.. soo I'm teaching it all over - just this part is exhausting..never mind the usual house stuff: laundry, dinners, breakfasts, lunches, garbage day, recycle day, pool chemical check, turn on the filter to pump, remember to turn it off.. it's alot!

I did manage to get some "me" time in this morning.. for me, planning & budgeting and a little school work got in this morning. Lucky for me, Grace is already on the bus on her way to school and with a little help from my friend, MK .. Grace's hair is combed, shoes on, medicine taken.. I've always said it takes a village.

Now off to work for me.. almost glad.. (did I really say that?)

happy tuesday!
