not so much...

Remember this?

Now, not so much.

Today is cold and rainy - really rainy. I haven't slept in over a week. It's Monday. Half of my family is together in warm, sunny California. Without me. Zoey is sick for the third time in 4 months. Coughing. Like all night long. Which is why I haven't slept in over a week. I was away from my little sickie for several hours on Saturday and all. day. long on Sunday. I miss her. Did I mention how tired I am?

96 more days until school is out and summer is here. I don't think I can make it.

Woe is me.

You are not alone, Dalene. I got a new calling this last week, which involves planning a portion of the big campout of the year which is... this weekend, not to mention that I have been waking up at 4 and working until 10:30-11:00 several nights this last week for work. It was not fun, but today I turned in my assignment at work, went to the park with my family and my wife's relatives, and life was good again. Hang in there.

You can make it. 96 days isn't that many. And, I know you can do it.

Sending some love your way. You can do it. Kaitlyn has that same cough. It breaks my heart to hear her.

How dare they get together without you! Shame!

Hang in there, chica. You will make it. Get some diet coke and chocolate to help.

96 days is like three months. Psh. You can work 3 months in your sleep. Psh. You've got this.

(That was the pep talk. Really I'm so sorry that Zoey is sick and that you haven't slept. My sympathies.)

My dear...hang in there. I wish I was there to give you a piggy back ride...to cheer you up.

Here's hoping for a better day today.

I'm sorry Dalene! I hope the sunshine today helped.

I say it all the time-but working moms are like superwoman! And even a superwoman needs crash and whine time. Good luck! You can do it! And I've been thinking about your basement all day...(which sounds creepy but wasn't meant to come off that way. dang)

Sorry Dalene-
Really wish you WERE here. It's the worst when you can't sleep and ANYTHING else is going wrong - especially sick babies. I hope Zoey feels better soon (you really should just move here for the summer - only 96 days away and then 2 months and SUN SUN SUN!

Hey sister!
You so can make it! I'm not in CA either - so really what are you missing?? (J/K Lala & Maren)! I know how you feel - but I think you are one of the strongest women I know! I'm sorry to hear Zoey is sick - you can always send her to us! :)
I love you Dalene!
96 more days - piece of cake! :)
YOU ROCK!!!!!
