Exhausted

These last few weeks have left us feeling wiped. Our awesome trip to Colorado brought us home feeling tired. A few days later and not yet recovered we found out that Scott's Grandpa wasn't doing well. He passed away this past Saturday. The past few days have been a time of sorrow and celebration. Yesterday's funeral was a sweet good-bye that left us coming home very emotionally drained. We picked Jake up at my parent's way passed his bedtime. At 2 a.m. he woke up crying. His breathing was shallow. I insisted on bringing him to the E.R. 3 hours later, we left the emergency room with an upper respiratory infection diagnosis. Another words...keep an eye on him, there's not much we can do but let him work it out. After getting to sleep at about 5 a.m., Jake promptly woke up on his schedule of 7 a.m. This mama and dada are not functioning well on only a few hours of sleep last night. Oh, did I mention how busy this week is? We have a chicken BBQ tomorrow? Scott is simultaneously frantically trying to squeeze in time in his classroom.

My eyes are heavy tonight and I'm looking forward to bed. I have a feeling that Jake is going to have a restless night of sleeping. I can hear him having a hard time breathing well through the baby monitors. I'm ready to catch up on sleep but as I look ahead to next week's busy week - I don't see it happening! I feel like I keep passing Jake off to other people and it's making me have a lot of mom guilt these days.

I wish that I could magically create one more week before school starts and put nothing on the calender but time with family. Would anyone else be up for that? Just one more week please! Summer...please don't go yet. I hardly got to see you.
