Summer is ending... hallelujah!

Whew, we made it! This summer has been a tough one, the toughest one on record. And. it. is. over. Dr. F was on call just about every other day (no lie) and has had 1 weekend off since Memorial Day. He worked 2 weeks of straight nights and the kids and I escaped to my parents' house because I'm not so crazy as to try to keep two kids quiet all day so he could sleep. No thank you! We didnt get much together time and it has definitely been lonely, but we've turned a corner. And we are thankful.

The kids and I have been getting into a routine and my house is still a mess and I'm pretty sure it will be for the next 20 or so years. However, I have joined a moms' group that meets once a month and provides babysitting for those 2 hours! We also joined the Y and I am in love! 2 hrs of childcare each visit is included in the membership. I have gone 4 times in the last 6 days. I feel like a new woman. Y'all, I soooo needed this. For the first time in 4 years I can workout and not be dependent on Dr. F's schedule. My mental state has already been much improved. Which is good, because we're having Avery baptized on Sunday followed by a lunch at our house for A LOT of family. And I haven't started cleaning yet. But you know what, I'm going to take a nap know because Ms. Thing has decided to revert to waking up 2x a night. UGHH.
