Last week Pat was "in the field". I'm used to being alone, but it still takes all my energy and time taking care of the kids. By the time I get them to bed, I just need to chill out with some me time and shut down. I'm thankful for all the new TV shows on because they allow me to stop thinking for a while and just relax.
Speaking of bedtime though, Sean is being a bit difficult. He feels the need for me to cuddle him every night until he is asleep. And right now as he is teething, he's a little more clingy with me than normal. And this whole routine gets worse when he starts fighting sleep just to stay awake with me longer. We have to make some major changes with his bedtime routine, but I'll let the teeth come in first.
It seems Pat will have many late nights this week and goes back to the field next week, so I have the feeling I'm going to be feeling rundown for a while. So that's where I'm at....I am looking forward to catching up with all your blogs soon.

I hope it gets better! I completely understand just shutting down after your kid goes to sleep.
I feel like I could have written this post myself. We are going through the exact same thing. Teething, extra cuddles, long days and nights in the field. I hope it gets better soon!
You said exactly how I've been feeling lately. The need to shut down these days is so great that I feel like I'm not getting the things down that I should! I hope things get better for you soon, and that your son gets back into a good sleep routine!
Shelly I hope you find some time to relax with your husband away. Blogging can wait, we all have weeks like that, you'll find the incentive again. Xo
