Well, take a good look at that picture because we are going to be one short of fully operational for the next four months. Tomorrow morning at 0'dark-thirty, Shawn is leaving for a four month deployment.
I know it is not nice to leave you hanging for so long then drop this post on you. But we have been a little busy 'round here. In fact I have 15 minutes before I have to have H and S in the car to get N from school. S is napping (what?!) and I am wrestling H on my lap to write this.
So I know already, there is never down time. I mean now, there is none. And now that H is mobile, any hopes that I did have of down time are shot. And you can't stay up late at night because you will be getting up soon with someone! I am always tired. Since H cut teeth he doesn't sleep through the night. And we always have one other kid up at night, too. Sooo tired and tired of being tired.
But I am ready to brave this storm on my own...kind of.
I surrendered before it even started! I have help. Grandma is coming for a week...I hired two babysitters to help...and- here's the kicker- we are "moving" back to my parents for most of the summer. This is all part of OPERATION Keep Mama Sane.
But we, like Shawn, are ready for the adventure! Stay tuned...this might be my only reprieve!
