Need to Smile

I need a little pick me up. I'm not sure why I have the Friday blues, but I do. I feel like the last few weeks have been a constant on-the-go, and frankly, i'm just tired.

Last weekend was great, I boycotted football since we had an away game, but tomorrow is homecoming. I won't be so lucky, but I've already told DJ to not expect us to stay the entire time. It will largely depend on how Gretchen is acting, since game time is also scheduled as her nap time. It looks like we might purchasing popcorn on our way in again.

Gretchen hasn't been sleeping well lately, so we're battling those issues as well. She has gotten up at least two times in the past three nights. Plus, she's taking at least an hour to fall asleep after we put her to bed. So, do we move her bedtime back to 8:30 (which, is late for a 2 year old), or is she overtired, and do we move her bedtime up to 7:45 (which, I'd prefer). I just can't figure it out yet.

Thank goodness for fall break coming up! Next week will be a 3 day work week, followed by a weekend spent with two of my most favorite women- my mom and my grandma! We have pictures scheduled for Friday, to update our 4 generations of stubborn, southern women! And, I'm excited, but, I have no idea what to wear- maybe DJ will let me do a little shopping therapy to help pick me up!

Like, I said, I need to smile, and the photo above, did just the trick. Mostly, because I feel like I need a big hug from my baby girl, but also, because, I know that she loves me! I just don't feel like I've loved her enough over the last few days. So, i'm planning for a girls evening to start as soon as I pick her up this afternoon! I need it, and I think she does to!

I hope you all have a wonderful, blessed weekend, and relax and have some fun!
