I Survived

Well I did it, Cory has been in Colorado since early Monday morning and comes home this evening. The girls were both really good and we had a good time together, but as of yesterday I was just dragging. I told Claire that I was just so tired, I just felt like I couldn't wake up and I couldn't figure out why, then I realized HELLO you have been a single mom for 3 days now. You wouldn't think that it would affect me that much seeing as how I am on my own with them all day while Cory is at work, but those 3 extra hours each day catches up with you and those 3 extra hours are always the toughest because by 5pm I am so ready for a break. Also, Claire woke up every night since Monday around 2-3am having to go to the bathroom, well last night it was a bad dream about Swiper (Dora the Explorer) stealing her puppy, she hasn't gotten up in the middle of the night for months and then Cory is gone and we had 3 nights in a row of it. So between the not being able to fall asleep until 11:30-midnight because I am paranoid and hear every little sound, my sleep being interrupted for 3 nights straight and trying to think of fun things to keep us busy I now understand why I am so tired.
BUT, Cory is home tonight from his Leadership meeting in Colorado and all should be well again. They said that it was a meeting but Whitewater Rafting doesn't sound much like a meeting to me. They also helped to build new stairs for a company that works with kids at risk and with disabilities. I am not complaining because also on this trip were some people that it doesn't hurt to get to know better on both a professional and personal level, if you know what I mean. So welcome home honey and thanks for bringing some of the cooler weather with you, this is crazy 67 degrees on July 24th.
