Mommin' is Hard

Oh hey! Long time no chat. The last week or so has been absolute chaos for me, so I'm extra appreciative of all the sweet comments you left on last Friday's post. While I never, ever want to complain about my new role I will quickly admit that it's HARD. Well, just being a mom in general is hard whether you work in the home, outside the home, whether your baby is 3 weeks old or 3 years old or probably even 13 years old ;) It ain't easy, I know that much. Over the weekend Jared was gone for 2 nights at football camp and I didn't know if I was going to survive on my own. Spoiler alert- I did, but it wasn't pretty.

So besides being completely sleep-deprived, forgetting to shower and obsessively watching the Olympics I have nothing else going on. Someone told me that as soon as you feel like you're getting in a routine with your baby they will totally change it up and throw you for a loop and that's exactly what's going on for us. T is fighting naps these days and/or only taking short catnaps which makes us both want to cry. He's sleeping great at night though so I'm hanging onto the hope that eventually we'll get both down pat.

Summer was kindof a wash for me. With a brand new baby I wasn't out and about at ALL and I've been hesitant still to take him to overly crowded places. It's been so incredibly hot and humid that lugging a baby and a carseat and/or stroller anywhere just sounded miserable for everyone. So you best believe I am looking forward to fall. Bring on the cooler temperatures, the football (obviously) and the fact that I feel like Jared and I will be able to get out more with T in the coming months. He's getting older (12 weeks tomorrow!) and I'm looking forward to enjoying the fall season with our squishy little boy.

I realized this post turned into just a giant diary entry, but I'm okay with that. Sometimes we just need to catch up on life and the post isn't pretty, you don't have Pinterest-worthy photos... the post just is what it is. Happy Wednesday :)

PS- Even though my blog has been stinking as of late, I'm still hosting the Football Friday link-up this Friday so I hope you'll join in. Any football topic goes!!
