Life Works Out

So after my major venting session last post my husband acquired another freelance job which will cover some of our expenses. It's so funny how things just work out. We celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary yesterday and it was very low key. He made dinner and we enjoyed some wine, just perfect. I can't lie, it would have been nice to be on a trip enjoying some much needed time away with just each other but it was still perfect. We're trying to take a step back and just reconnect as best friends and lovers. My job has totally invaded our life and really wrecked havoc. I'm really hoping that I can be better about leaving work and work and not bringing the whole family into the drama.

I've decided that I really need to train for another half marathon which is in the beginning of October. I feel so much better when I'm running consistently. I totally meant to get back on track this week but with the extreme heat we've had (well into the 90's with very high humidity) it wasn't ideal for running. Summer school started this week so I've had to be to work at the normal time so morning running is out and by the time I got home it was soooo hot. It didn't even cool down to a reasonable temp before I went to bed. I know it's an excuse but I wasn't trained for running in the extreme heat, however I have an idea that I'm going to need to get used to it.

Baby M has Ros.eola and has been a BEAR!!!!! He never gets sick and is rarely ever cranky for more than 10 minutes. I have never seen him like he's been the past 3 days. He had the high fever on Wednesday and Thursday and then broke out with the rash all over this morning so hopefully we're on the mend. His fever got really high, almost to 105 on Thursday so we were alternating Tyl.enol and Mot.rin and giving him Gator.ade so he'd stay hydrated. I'm hoping that we won't have to deal with any more sickness this summer!

My first week of summer school was great! I could certainly get used to working 7:30-12 Monday through Thursday and then only teaching one subject. It's so easy to only have to plan for math. I have 9 different groups of kids based on their ability but I am only planning three different activities per day because we switch kids so I can do the same thing the second time around. The kids did wonderful this week and we had a great time. We have three more weeks and then we're done.

I'm so excited that we are actually getting summer weather this summer! I love the heat and sun and I'm in heaven. We don't have air conditioning which has been a little rough this week but I can't complain. Last summer was so yucky and we barely had any nice weather so I'm really happy that we've had some awesome summer days so far. It makes winter seem so much more bearable when I have this weather to look forward to.
