Week in Review

We've made it through one week without Josh. All things considered, we're doing pretty well. Guy is as well-behaved as a two year old boy can be expected to be, aside from the sleep issues--which are improving.

Still no naps, and I think they may be gone forever. I'm having a beast of a time explaining "quiet time" to him, as well. It's frustrating to have that part of the day leave me more stressed as opposed to refreshed and ready to be a great mom. Not having a break all day long makes me want to stay up all night just to enjoy the peace and quiet. Not good for being patient the next day. Ugh, what a cycle.

I think 2 p.m. is my new witching hour. Dinner hour? Not so awful--I can handle that pretty well. But 2 p.m. is when my eye starts twitching and steam comes out my ears. I hate feeling like I have such a hard time controlling my anger. I don't think of myself as an angry person, but there are definitely tough moments with Guy when I don't want to be patient, kind, or talk softly.

I ate a turnip for the first time ever this week. In a pot pie. It was really tasty, I think I'll start cooking with turnips every once in a while.

I'm waiting by the phone in the hopes that Josh might call--in theory he'll call sometime this weekend. Hopefully not while we're at church.

Guy is absolutely adorable, but I wish that toddlers came with a volume control. Can he ever yell!

And I'm planning a trip to San Antonio for Josh's graduation. So far I'm thinking it shouldn't be more than about $600 with everything altogether. Hopefully it'll be an enjoyable trip.
