exhaustion setting in

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter and didn't make yourself sick eating too much chocolate like I did!

Things in our house have been very busy as I realized I have 3 weeks of class left. I'm super excited but feeling stressed because my thesis still isnt done (its due next Friday!!!) ughh and because I still have other projects and classes to worry about. Oh, and I'm hoping to get a job too. I'm trying not to worry about it because over the last year things have just worked out better than I could ever hope... and I have enough to worry about right now.

I cant believe I'm actually graduating with my masters!!! Unfortunately, no one in my field is hiring so I'm probably going to be an office assistant again, which stinks, but it will be great to have some income, especially as my loans repayments are going to start soon.

However, before I can get too excited about graduating, I actually have to get my work done... Lately Aidan has not been sleeping well and Mr. F and I don't know what to do. Its like he's reverted to being 4 weeks old again. We were up 6 times on Saturday night! This has been going on for about 3 or 4 weeks...try writing a thesis on such interrupted sleep with little to no caffeine (I'm trying to avoid it cause Aidan gets a rush when he nurses). The poor kid also has his first cold and keeps choking at night:( coincidence that he started daycare last week? probably not.

Last night I was up till 2am doing homework, just in time for Aidan to wake up so I could feed him. I think I got about 4 hrs of interupted sleep. Awesome. that could explain my professor said, "Jenna, you look exhausted." when I walked in this morning.

My plan right now is to just keep swimming and remembering, "this too shall pass."

If you have a chance, take a nap for me! :)
