Yesterday we did a little shopping at Target, picking up some new Halloween decor for the front of the house. The shelves were lined with mechanical ghosts, goblins, skeletons, witches and more. As we browsed the items, Z-Dub expressed his desire to go home. We sensed his fear and encouraged him that it all was not real. Going home, playing with his friend and watching Finding Nemo on DVD did little to erase his mind of the season's goulishness. The result was cries in the night and the need of comfort from his sleepy parents.
Of course, the night was rough for us too. In addition to Z-Dub's night fright, HotMomma's pregnant belly offered a lot of discomfort. She's finding it harder and harder to get a good night of sleep. The constant trips to the bathroom don't help either.
As for me, this work week will be a stressful one. It made me sleepless. My extremely busy schedule and workload will culminate Friday. While I've been dreading the pressure of this week, I'm looking forward to getting it overwith. It's been on my calendar for months. My working the entire weekend didin't help me relax enough in preparation for all that needs to be done, which totally sucks. But my upcoming birthday weekend (Oct. 11) I've made into a four-day weekend. It's something to look forward to.
