The Babytime people are delivering the crib tomorrow morning and an electrician is coming to repair some outlets so I can move all this stuff into the back bedroom, which needs to be the new office. I’ve got yardsale stuff stacked everywhere and it’s impossible to move stuff when there is no spare room to move other stuff out of the way. I cleaned a spot for the crib and decided I’d had enough, and fell asleep on the couch. I’m completely exhausted — mentally, physically, emotionally. This past week roughed me up in ways I suppose a single afternoon won’t heal.
Ray takes the bar exam this week. The tension around here is palpable. We both need a break but there is no spare money, there is no spare time.
Looking back, we would have gotten a lot more use out of an office than a nursery. Some things, though, new parents need to learn on their own.
Good luck to both of you, sounds like you’ve got your hands full over there.
