Oi Vey!

I was so hoping that by this time I would have some great before/after pictures to show you of the finished countertops and the newly painted living room. Alas, I do not.  Instead I have dark under eye circles and a really sore incision site that I don't think anyone really wants to see. 

We have had quite the week this week.  Little Miss has been having health issues that the doctor thinks may be a food allergy to milk.  Consequently, we have had a very unhappy and uncomfortable little girl and a lot of sleepless nights.  She is now on a hypoallergenic formula so hopefully we have this under control.  Time will only tell. 

Hubby also went back to work this past week, or at least attempted to, since we are trying to save all the personal leave we can because we do not know what the future holds in regards to health issues, work stuff, moving, and such.  This meant that I attempted to take care of the kids by myself, which proved to be an interesting adventure since I am on restriction and cannot lift more than 10 pounds (Little Man weighs 30.) and Little Man's sleep schedule is less than ideal.  On Monday, the day started out okay.  By the afternoon we were on a roll, but Little Man fell and my mother's auto-response kicked in when I picked him up to comfort him.  BAAAAAAAD idea!  Needless to say, I had to have Hubby come home after working a half day the next day because I was hurting and Little Miss needed to go to the doctor immediately. 

Since I had felt pretty good the week before, I have been overdoing it a lot this past week and am paying for it this weekend.  It's just so frustrating when I have so much that needs to be done and have this sense of urgency because I know at any time things could change with Hubby's work and I want to be ready.  Now if I can just get my body, a two year old and a newborn to get on board with this as well so that I can get things done.  LOL!  Yeah, I know.  Good luck with that.

So no pictures, no progress, another week has come and gone.  We will try again next week.
