I know, I know, I know. Since I have been home, I am just terrible about the updating. This is because my computer time is few and far between. And the few moments I have throughout the day are sucked up by the job searching and whatnot. (I know! Priorities? Shouldn’t blogging come first? Yeesh.)
This week has also been rough as Connor has caught a cold and sleeping has been haphazard. It has been nice, though, being home full-time. No worrying about missing days of work. Being able to nap when he naps during the day, if possible. Sleeping in when he does. Makes up for the hours that I’m up during the night, patting his back, telling him that it will be okay.
I will say that I have had my fill of wiping the snotty nose. Well, more like chasing him down, holding him down with one hand, holding his face with the other, and quickly swiping as best as I can. He’s quick, even when he’s ill.
And apparantly, being sick doesn’t completely take away the urge to be naughty. One minute he’s snuggling on my lap, and the next he’s crawling into the fireplace. Tonight, we checked on him in bed and he had managed to get his pajama top half off and part of his diaper undone - underneath the pajama bottoms, even. He is nothing, if not talented.
So Tim and I have been struggling this week and are more than glad the weekend is upon us. Although, you know that you are a parent when you can clean up puke and it doesn’t even ruin your appetite. You can finish your dinner with no problems whatsoever. Even with a child in your arms, if necessary. Ah, how we have grown.
