Hubby is in school and I work full-time outside the home, so when I come home the nights he has class, my typical exhaustion multiplies tenfold. Sigh.

I was not okay at the end,and my husband worked his regular 11 hour days so I don't even have that to blame it on. Going to try and stay home for a bit next week and see if that helps.<br /><br />That bit about Nora made me snort aloud. When we lived in South Korea, both my (current) youngest and my niece were insanely afraid of walking on any surface other than marble or concrete. We went to the Phillipines when they were about 2 and there was this patch of grass in front of our cabana (I know, I sound like a pompous jerk) that we called their playpen. We would set them in the middle of it and for the first 2-3 days they would just sit down and stay put. Grass is AWFUL, didn't you know?Micaela Darrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04601442850363152303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3883970092765312318.post-32848671856480286312014-09-26T21:55:56.584-06:002014-09-26T21:55:56.584-06:00I totally want to make that. this is the third men...I totally want to make that. this is the third mention I've seen in it in 24 hours so I feel like God is slapping me trying to get my attention.

Right now, you're in a "Major Mom-ing" season, and in a couple of months, maybe you'll be in a "Mom-ing and Blogging" season. And that's okay. Gotta do what you gotta do, girl. =)Adrie Littlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03791798892535599096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3883970092765312318.post-21165226752603353012014-09-26T11:22:23.736-06:002014-09-26T11:22:23.736-06:00Sending you virtual coffee mugs...

Going, going, kids in bed… crash. You're a rock star - my husband's long days are only like 10-11 hours, so go you! I'm thoroughly impressed.
