Although it is the middle of May, it feels like we are just now starting Spring. The forecast finally does not have rain in it everyday. It is beautiful outside. The big issue right now is Maisy does not want to go to school. It is miserable to drop her off and for her to cry.
The children only have 8 days left of school, which is exciting but also scary. The issue is how to keep them occupied all summer. It is a dilemma about whether to sign them up for a bunch of camps and make them do worksheets or other things to stay caught up for school or just let them play all summer. I am now 34 weeks pregnant and frantically trying to get ready for Charlie's arrival. His room is not ready, none of the few clothes we have for him have been washed. We do have bottles, diapers and one little can of formula. My weight seems to be increasing by a pound a day, which is odd. My hands in particular get really swollen.
This week my main goal is to get ready to have the baby so I need to have everything done for the next month at work and get ready at home for him. There is a ton of work right now. At home I need to get the room painted, wash all of his clothes, and pack our bags. One might think that with Memorial Day weekend this weekend, it is a huge relief and vacation. My days off from work though are just as much work as my job. Both are mentally exhausting and home might even be more physically exhausting. The boxes and boxes of medical records at work are definitely hard to carry around but luckily electronic formats keep that a little easier now.
