Home

I'm home! It feels great to be home even though I wasn't gone for long. I really missed my boys.

However, it's sometimes hard coming home. I'm tired and sore- was up at 5am and got 3 hours of sleep last night and had a swamped day- most of which was on my feet. At 37 weeks pregnant that is a little hard. The hard part is that Brandon is having a hard time adjusting now with me home. Even though I was gone for one night I think that felt like an eternity for him. It is now almost 11pm and he is still wide awake and trying to see what he can get away with. He got to sleep with dad last night and of course had some fun/special time together and now it is time to get back to normal and that is a little hard for him. It's hard because I am so exhausted and need to get to bed myself but I want to stay up and try to get him to sleep....I didn't win.

Rob saw that I could barely walk anymore and my eyes are blood shot. He just left with Brandon in the car to drive a bit to get him to sleep. I am sure they will get not even 2 miles down the road and he will be asleep. Sometimes we need to use these special techniques on him.

Hopefully tomorrow will be a bit better. One thing I LOVE about my job (okay- I love a lot of things about my job) is that after a site visit or any business trip I always tell Mindy the day or two after is little-to-no work for me. I have a whole 30 minutes of work time scheduled for tomorrow and then we are spending the day with Oma and Auntie baking tons of cookies, making homemade soup, heading to Macy's 8th floor and the Hollidazzle parade! ALL while NOT thinking about work at all. She is always supportive and understanding about it (and a HUGE benefit of having a home office) but my brain is having a hard time turning off. I am sick of running traffic projections, sales totals, patient numbers, retail concepts, signage, floor plans...yadda, yadda, yadda in my head over and over. Time to turn OFF brain! That is what tomorrow with Brandon and the family is for!
