Surviving the Domestic Jungle

This week has been a monster of a week full of ups and downs and more downs but things always have a way of ending up ok. The school issues got worse before they got better but after speaking with the principal, I feel much better about things and am content. I still dont like how everything went down but her telling me that they would change things for next year was all I wanted. I wanted to make a difference and I did and that felt awesome. Somebody has to speak up and I am glad it was me. On a brighter  note, the weather seems to have cooled of a tad! When I walk at night, it is almost decent and I dont sweat like a pig. There’s a warm breeze and it is not nearly as difficult to walk a long distance. I still really enjoy my walks and I know my girls love it too. A friend of mine gave birth to an absolutely adorable baby girl this week and I could not be happier for her. Becoming a mother is such a special experience no matter if it is your first baby or fifth. Its a miracle and such a special experience. Maybe a little painful but beautiful. Its a very quiet friday night and after this crazy week, I am enjoying the peace. At a certain age, staying home and relaxing just sounds so much better than a loud bar or a busy restaurant or anything that doesnt involve my bed, my tv and a good snack! Not sure what the weekend holds but I do know I am in need of it. Its so funny that my daughter has been in school exactly one week and I am already back in the swing of the weekends being so great. That familiar feeling will creep up on a sunday evening when you prepare for your week ahead and head to bed early. Saturday night you stay up really late and friday night you try to stay up but you got up at the crack of dawn so its a little harder to stay awake. The weekends have meaning again and I am so happy summer seems to be ending. Bring on the winter!!
