I Could Go to Bed

It's not even 6:30pm but I am confident if I went to sleep right now I could sleep sound until morning. The past two days have been great but so very busy. I've been getting up at 4:30am just so I can feed Baby M twice, get ready, pack up all my pump parts and necessities, and not be rushed. The past two days were a great way to ease back into work. I was reading the MI standardized test to individual students because they required it read to them in a one on one setting. So in the past two days I have read the math portion of the test, consisting of two parts and 58 questions, four different times. By read I mean, "What is the remainder when 20 is divided by 3? A. 1, B. 0, C. 2, and D. 4. Though it was tedious it was a great day because I had so much time off. When my student was done I had a really long lunch break, perfect for pumping, and then when my second student I tested in the afternoon was done I was free to leave for the day. So yesterday I had a break from about 10-12 and got to leave at 1:40, today I had a break from 9:45-12 and then got to leave at 1:15pm. I couldn't have asked for better jobs. I had plenty of time to go to the car and pump during my lunch break and I was able to get home early enough to feed Baby M his 1:30ish feeding. He had 3 bottles yesterday and 2 today.

The only downfall is that I'm exhausted. I've had about 8 hours of sleep between the two nights and then I'm tutoring 5 hours tonight and tutored for 3 hours last night. I have a total of 18 hours tutoring this week. I feel empowered though that I'm contributing so much money to our family. R called about our mortgage today and we're going to be able to wait to pay Nov which is going to be awesome, well awesome given our situation. So things are going okay for right now but R is still having a hard time. He's at least apologized and is communicating his feelings more.
