A Yucky Week

This has been a long and tiring week. Xander woke up on Saturday from his nap with a high fever and he’s been sick and cranky pretty much ever since. He finally improved enough to go to daycare on Wednesday, but even still he is not himself. He’s sleeping poorly which means mommy and daddy are not getting enough rest and I think we’re all getting cranky.

Work has been hectic and stressful but thankfully is mostly under control now.

It’s been raining, and raining, and raining – yuck!!!!! I’m not such a fan of rain, it makes the days feel gray and dreary. When you are overtired it adds up to make me feel kind of sad and down. Feeling sad makes me want to eat junky food and then I feel fatter and basically it’s a very negative cycle. I hope next week is more cheerful!

We did have one wonderfully bright spot this week – the Oilers won game 5 of their series against Carolina and we’re excitedly awaiting game 6 here at home on Saturday – GO OILERS GO!!!!! If they can win at home we’re tied 3-3 with the determining game 7 on Monday. We could bring the cup home baby!!
