The last couple days have been a bit exhausting for me. I worked three days in a row, early in the morning (getting up at 5am is not ideal for me... 8 sounds much nicer!). I was looking forward to a restful weekend, but Kalyn got a nasty cold, and a few errands needed to be run. Saturday turned out to be slightly less of a break than I anticipated. However, there is always Sunday! Thank goodness for Sundays. It was stake conference, so church was an hour shorter than usual. I was happy about that since I had to go by myself. Kalyn was still sick. I did get some rest, but I also started getting that weird feeling in my throat, nose, and head that you get when a cold is coming on. I was catching Kalyn's cold just in time for an early start on Monday morning (today), followed by a six-hour shift. I was feeling a little bit hopeless because I desperately just wanted to sleep.
Among all this exhaustion the Lord sent me a few tender mercies. I found a babysitter with ease. Rex beat his record of hours of sleep a night: 7 hours one night! I know how rare that is for a two-month-old. I tried on the next smallest pair of pre-pregnancy pants that my legs didn't even fit into last time I tried putting them on and they actually fit. Then, on Sunday night Rex rolled from his tummy to his back on his own for the first, second, and third time in his life. I am so proud :) All I can say, is that I am prepared for a tough semester (even though I am not in school), but I can get through it with a smile because among all that is hard there are such happy things happening too.
