Not Much New

I wish that I had some great, new, exciting news to share with everyone but unfortunately things are the same. I did take Little man and Baby M to my parents house this week for a little get away, which was so nice. I love being at someone else's house because I get a break from the ten million things I should be doing. We left Friday morning and came back on Sunday afternoon.

I did start running yesterday and man did that feel good. I started with 2 miles at a very slow pace mainly because it had been so long since I'd ran. The loop around our subdivision is exactly a mile so I went around twice. There are some pretty steep hills throughout so that gave me a pretty good work out. Yesterday I didn't time myself but today I did and man I'm slow! I was very consistent with my pace though so that was a positive. It's been great stress relief so that's been nice.

Baby M still isn't sleeping great. In fact I should be sleeping right now but the kitchen is a mess and I've just been dying to update since it's been almost a week. He's eating every two hours and since it takes a good 30-40 minutes to feed if I'm full the feedings seem like they are going constant all night long. Luckily once I'm up I'm able to make it through the day without feeling tired. I'm sure the running has helped too, so that's another plus. Baby M has been awake more throughout the day so I was hoping that would mean he would sleep more at night, but no such luck.

Still no news about a job for R but he is trying to get unemployment. Since he was forced to resign or be fired we're not sure his employer is going to pay it since he chose to resign to avoid a firing on his record. I guess there's a way that he can prove he had no other choice so hopefully they will pay it. We are really hurting for money right now. His parents are helping out here and there and I'm grateful. I should be hearing this week about subbing. I'm really sad about having to start working though because I'm not going to be able to pump enough when I'm working to sustain my milk supply. I'm really hoping I don't have to quit nursing. I'm joining our local La.Leche Leagu.e so hopefully I can get some help with my dilemma.

I'll try to update more later. I feel like there is so much I'm missing but bed is calling my name. I think the kitchen is going to have to wait until tomorrow. I hate going to bed with a nasty kitchen waiting for me first thing in the morning but tiredness has finally set in.
