this week has been long in every sense of the word. we are up to our eyeballs at work... "just keep swimming, just keep swimming" seems to be playing over and over in my head! i wish we could just shut off the phones and close the doors and WORK for a whole day straight. unfortunately we can't, so i'm dealing.
to start out my every morning this week i've had a super grouchy and uncooperative son. he's been staying up late at night on his own accord, and not actually falling asleep until 10 or 10:30. nothing i say or do makes him just lay down and sleep. so then morning comes around and he just dicks around and can't do one simple thing that i ask of him. of course once we get to Grandma Russell's or Shirley's house he's all lovey on me.... so usually my annoyance melts.
i also found out today that he hasn't taken much of a nap at Shirley's the last 2 days OR eaten much of anything for lunch! so basically my kid seems to think he can go without sleep and food.... *sigh*
i hope this phase fades FAST!
on a totally different note, our friend Mike is back home for awhile! he's been overseas for the last year so its always great when he comes home!! we've all been looking forward to it for months and now that he's here he just falls into our normal routine. we usually plan a party or outing while hes here, but this time i think we'll be a little more low key.
it really hit me this time when he gave me a big hug, picked me up, put me down and said, "have you gained weight Tray?" to which i punched him.
since this sounds a little meaner that it was, let me explain. when i started dating Matt i got him and 3 new friends. these friends were all boys and all treated my like a little sister. and even when i wished they'd just go away, i always knew they'd be in my life for the long haul!
now that i'm still very close with all of them, and have even added some more to that group, i'm happy that i have such good friends to rely on.
backtrack: i realized how lucky i am to have such an amazing group of friends. ones that i know will be there for me, Matt and Ethan no matter what we need. and are happy enough to just sit and drink a beer, or have dinner together, or play bags in the driveway until its too dark to see. and on top of it all i know that they are all supportive and happy for us and how our lives are at this moment!
"" True Friends are the ones that are there for you and know when you need them, even in their sleep, they will wake up and be there for you no matter what... ""
so to all of our friends that live close, live far away, and that we only see once in a great while... THANK YOU for being you!
