Tired

This is how I feel:

Henry at the airport

Henry and I went to D.C. last week for a conference (Henry didn't have a conference, but I did) and then we spend the weekend in Takoma Park, Maryland with my dear friend Julie and her sweet family. We had tons of fun. First of all, it was gorgeous up there - the leaves were amazing and the weather was perfect (chilly!!!) Saturday we went to a Russian food festival, but mostly we just hung out. Henry was so happy to have me all to himself again, he was a perfect travel companion.

In fact, he's having some trouble adjusting to life back at home (his own crib and competing with his sisters for my attention!) so we're not sleeping well. And things have just been crazy busy since we got back Sunday night. One of my best friends is going through a very difficult time right now, and I'm so heartbroken for her. Christmas is six weeks away, and I have never in my life made it to November without having bought a single gift or had my cards ordered. And there's a little grape-sized person growing inside of me and zapping me of any remaining brain-cells and energy I might have had.

I'm tired!

BUT I just realized that tomorrow is a holiday and I don't have to work, which is fabulous. I can finally get unpacked and take a moment to catch my breath. And maybe a nap.
