By definition "the capability of sustaining prolonged stressful effort." That's pretty much how I can describe this last month.
Life has been busy, and sleep has been minimal. My busy season at work typically heats up April and goes through at least June, so I've been mentally preparing. Just as expected (because the perfect storm was brewing) my moms home in Nipomo finally sold, so it's been a scramble to find her a home in the bay area. Luckily we did find something, worked with a realtor Thursday night to get an offer in and it was accepted. Beginning late June, my mother will be a resident of Quail Hollow in San Jose (55+ community), and just 2 miles from me.
Besides working 10+ hr days, I'm spending every spare second with my boys, a little time with hubby and just functioning in survival mode.
It's nuts now but will get better. I'm forcing Chad to plan a vacation for July or August so I can stay focused on some downtime with my favorite people (the fam!)
Boys are doing great. Sean, whom started crawling at 6 months, is now 7 months and fully mobile. He's pulling him self up on everything, and now reaching for everything in site (coffee table is his favorite). He's funny - so happy one minute and a screamer the next. He's a bottomless pit who wants to eat 24/7. Loves yogurt, bananas, apples, crackers, cereal puffs, and pretty much anything that can be mashed.
Kyle is a chatter box. Seems funny now that I was worried about his lack of vocabulary. His talking has taken off and he says the funniest things. He loves to yell at my moms dog "Loki - get in the backyard." He just tortures that poor dog. Loves to mimic us and gives me the most devilish glances - what a trouble maker. Today, Daddy took him to the lake to throw rocks and then we met up at a children's fair. It was my first break in a while and it felt so nice to be outside. I'm actually watching TV today and catching up on some Oprah/Biggest Loser. It's so nice.
Life is good! Working hard, loving my family, and found a great home for my mom (wish us luck getting through the next few weeks!)
