We survived this past weekend but only just. God is good; He gave us the grace to meet every challenge and we didn’t even kill each other.
It would be a bad thing to kill one’s husband on Father’s Day, don’t you think?
On the contrary, by the time we reached Sunday—by the 10:00 a.m. Mass at the Cathedral on Sunday—we were on the downhill slide of an exhausting hill and it was good, all was good.
Would you like to meet the two main sources of my fatigue?
Here is the first:
The last performance of Something Super was yesterday afternoon. It was followed by a lengthy cast party, where the director handed out awards & t-shirts and where the actors were as convivial & boisterous & relieved a bunch as could be.
I was the mom with the kid in a sling (okay, I wasn’t the only one), swaying slightly from side-to-side and staying vacantly off into space.
Quietly sipping my diet Dr. Pepper, I watched the fun and dreamed of…sleep.
Everyone, I’d like you to meet Source of Fatigue #2:
Anthony was one month old yesterday! I can’t believe it and yet, I can. He is both the cause of my joy and these dark, under-eye circles.
He’s a honey, a total honey, but when he’s not a honey he’s a fusspot.
All is good.
Have a blessed Monday.
That has to be the best picture ever!! That one could win "cutest baby" contests!!
Glad your busy weekend is over!
Hey! It's been a month, change your profile already!! 🙂
Just teasing you!
That's an adorable picture of the baby. 🙂
You really are gifted with the camera; that picture of your baby is adorable. He looks worth the exhaustion.
Amazing how they can be so awesomely beautiful and fill our heart with joy and drive us absolutely nuts at the same time. He is priceless. Hope he lets you get more sleep soon.
Wow, that was fast!
I LOVE that picture of Anthony! Such a sweetie!
Yeah, that is the most wonderful picture of a baby ever! I wouldn't mind having baby fatigue at this stage in my life . . . he's just too precious for words and you are a doll!
I feel your pain AND your joy. I miss sleep too… but it is so worth it.
Frame that baby picture, please! It is the cutest thng ever.
Beautiful baby!
Absolutely beautiful picture of such a beautiful baby boy!!! Wow.
great.picture. my daughter just looked at your little guy and said, "you need a baby." i am afraid i have to agree. but God doesn't for some reason. so for now i'll just enjoy all the ones in blogland! God bless.
I used to think I was kind of crazy because I was always thinking of sleep when my little ones were up for what seems ALL NIGHT. I would just think how I could sneak in a cat nap without any one knowing—then there would be no nap. I hope you have a chance to sneak in some naps today!;) Have to agree, great picture and what a cutie!!! Worth all the sleeplessness!!! Cheri
PS Glad to hear you survived the busy weekend. Wish we could have seen the play, maybe next time.
One month?!?! That's amazing.
Um, what's "uffda"?
Yes, mine is a sweetheart… a TOTAL sweetheart… except when she is a crankypants. Is it a phase that they are hitting at the same time? Its been 3 days now!!
