So you had a bad week . . .

That's life right? Not every week is awesome, and some weeks (or two weeks, whatever) are just downright sucky.

Not to be a total complainer, but I think you will agree that the last several days have not been "my week":

*I tripped over my own, too long, pajama pants and stubbed my toe. (Not that unbelievable since I recently slipped on the over-frebreezed kitchen floor, fell on my butt and knocked over the whole trash can.) But just besides being klutzy, now my toe nail is totally black and threatening to fall off. Ew! Right before spring and summer - come on!

*Jacob is still barely getting over his surgery and an ear infection. It has been kind of awful. Extra baths, ointment, then an ear infection, no sleeping, antibiotics, diarrhea (from the antibiotics -- and sorry if that is too much information), a pro-biotic to help combat the diarrhea, more baths, still not much sleep, sad baby, sad mom, no sleep . . . sleeping baby in my arms. Sigh.
*Robbie just got back from being away for a week long conference. It was rough. I'm really glad he's back.

*I spent 2 hours at the doctors office and 4 hours at another office (with my sad, hungry baby) making sure all our paper work was in order for our insurance.

*In more Jacob news, he peed during a diaper change in the middle of the night and he has quite the distance and arc. It was dark, and I couldn't see where the puddle had actually formed. I did the best I could to wipe up the floor and put my baby back to bed. But on the way out - yep - I totally stepped in it. Soo gross. 

Yes - I am being a downer. But in my defense, it was a really hard week. 

I would also like to say, that things have been much better. Not suddenly perfect, but better. At least I'm not a single-mom anymore and Jacob did start to sleep a little more, which means I get to sleep a little more. 

But what really made me start feeling better was watching and helping this little fellow go from this:

 To this:

 I do love being with this sweet guy, even during a "bad week".
