Week One

So far, it's been a nightmare.

I've had too much to keep me busy.....including late nights, early mornings, runny noses, diarrhea, sick animals and grocery shopping.

Tristan has woken up every morning at 6 AM with a pant-full of diarrhea.  Aramis will not sleep anywhere besides next to me in our bed, and I'm so exhausted I just let him so I can sleep.

Lilly got sick so I had to take her to the vet, and then pick her up with both boys in a torrential downpour.  We all got soaked.

Tristan got a black eye in nursery, and probably a cold because now his nose is dripping lovely green snot again.  This kid has been sick more in the three months we have lived here than in his whole life!

My big brown momma mouse is sick, and I can't get her to eat so she's probably going to go the way of the world soon.....

And we needed food, so I had to go shopping alone, which is nothing new, but now that Aramis can ride in the cart, Tristan walks.  Well, runs away and pulls everything off the shelves.

But, the sister missionaries came over for a visit yesterday, and it was nice to be able to slow down and chat with them for a little bit.  Being a mom of two boys, sometimes you can forget what peace feels like.  Being able to feel the Spirit, even for just a brief period of time, was just the break I needed.  Hopefully, I can make time for more moments like that to help me get through to when Nick gets back.

Sorry for the pity party, hopefully this next week goes better!!
