A Sleepless Week

Every year about this time when hunting season starts Shayne goes on a week long archery hunt with my dad, friends, and uncles. This would not be so bad normally other than the fact that I have a hard time sleeping by myself. So I leave the light and TV on to get to sleep. I know its a little pathetic! However, when you add having a brand new baby and a daughter in kindergarten to the mix it makes for a tough week. Between getting up 3 times during the night and then up bright and early at 7 am to get Paige ready it gets tiring. I find myself so exhausted by the end of the day. I have to say for all of the single parents out there I have no idea how they do it. My hats off to them. I know that by the time Shayne comes home saturday I am going to need a week off!:)

Your are a wonderful Mother, so hats off to you to. Good luck and tomorrow when Shayne gets home relax and enjoy yourself, or send the kids over here to me.

I am so sorry about the sleepless nights - I hear ya there - although I don't have the kindergarten problem though! :) I did the black/white/green photo with my camera. It is a feature called "color accent". I guess a lot of cameras have it - but I didn't learn how to use it till this weekend, so I have had a lot of fun playing with it!
