Just keep swimming...just keep swimming. UGH. I have yet to recover from our trip back to Kansas and it is starting to take it's toll. The weather here is just awful (rain/sleet/slush) and it is starting to reflect in my mood.
Dr. Heskett is on a nights rotation and after this month goes straight to days. I knew all year that these two months would the hardest of the year but knowing doesn't really prepare you the way you would hope. Not only are we (me and the kids) trying to get back into a routine we are just worn out. I know that things like the house being a disaster, the laundry that needs to be done, groceries need to be bought, holiday decorations that need to be put away, and the shortage of cash from the trip and holidays are not helping either.
I feel awful when I am so short with the kids. They are hard to get up and around in the morning and I am not giving them enough time because I am not getting up and around early enough either. In the evenings we are scraping something together for dinner watching some TV and trying to go to bed early. On top of it all I have been trying to watch what I eat and start exercising more regularly. Since I let our gym membership go and Dr. Heskett is working nights I have been going on my lunch hour to a fitness class at the school gym (I know that is commitment right?). So as my favorite little Dory says...just keep swimming...just keep swimming. If I keep going this too shall pass and before I know it the awful rotations will be over and spring will be here soon.
In the meantime in an effort to be not so gloomy I have been working on Palmer's 2nd birthday party. I have narrowed my ideas down to two themes to choose from both of which are his all time favorite things to play with. As mentioned before I love birthdays and themes. So I sat down and planned out both of my themes to try and lean towards one idea or the other and I am just stuck. So I am looking for help. My ideas are either dinosaurs or trains. Both are pretty typical little boy parties but I love my favor/activity ideas for the dinosaurs and my cake idea for the trains party. Which one do you like better..I set up a vote so you can let me know.

It is funny how life works because as nice and fun as the holidays are they are stressful so when they are over it should be a calm after the storm but I find it is almost as stressful recovering from it...so I understand what you are saying. Hang in there things will calm down.
Oh ya I like dinosaurs...
Trains...all the way...
