My bestie Glenna and I have done it again - managed to get pregnant at the same time! Mara's little sibling, due December 2, 2017.
(This is why I feel like I've been hit by a bus all the time.)
More on this later.

Sleep Regressions (Or Something)
I am literally at my wits end right now. I was tired when Mara was a newborn. I was tired when she was an infant. But I was really hoping that by now, when she's 2.5, that I'd be somewhat less tired.
Apparently not.
She has been waking up a zillion times per night for the last several weeks. Last night was probably the worst. By the time Corky and I finally went to bed (at around 10:30), she had already been up three times. By the end of the night, she'd been up SEVEN times.
And then... Frank, my boxer, started. He's been waking me up earlier and earlier every day for a while now. But this morning he decided 5:28am was a good time for a wake-up call. I literally slept MAYBE a total of an hour and a half last night. And for the maybe three weeks preceding this, the most I've slept in a night is maybe 4 hours.
This cannot go on! What the hell is happening?? They say there's a 2 year sleep regression but she's way past that. I don't understand and I don't know how to fix it!

Busy Month
I think it's about time I overhaul my blog.. what do you think? I've had this same background and everything for years! Kind of ready for a change.
The month of May has landed upon us and I couldn't be happier about that. Spring is, as you may remember from previous discussions of this, my least favorite season. Winter can be sucky too but at least for some of it you've got holidays to look forward to. Spring.. not so much. Just rain, rain and more rain for eternity. Although as I type this, it's actually sunny outside. Lol.
It's already May 7th and I've had several things on the calendar already. Appointments and such. I've got more appointments, little things (like babysitting my friend's kids, taking Mara to some playdates, etc.) and trips occupying the rest of the month. The weekend of the 19th we are going to Astoria, Oregon for the weekend. The following weekend I go to Canada for four days BY MYSELF!!!!! I've got a "spa day" planned for the 31st with a friend of mine and then of course there's Mother's Day earlier in the month. Busy busy busy. Helps time fly.
We are all doing fine over here. Mara is still in preschool 4 mornings per week and absolutely loves it. It really was the best decision I could've made regarding that.
Corky is doing well, loving his new job. He is up to his eyeballs in work. He's got a house he's currently flipping by himself, as well as doing some general contractor work for our neighbor AND half a dozen half-finished home improvement projects at our house. Breathe in, breathe out, Kate, it'll get done. I'm not a fan of chaos, as you can probably guess.
I'm doing pretty well, too. Working, momming, cleaning, you know.. the usual. Looking forward to some actual warm, sunny weather so I can get outside with Mara and the dogs. Today is sunny but not warm. I think it won't get over like 65 F for the foreseeable future. Kinda mean since we had two 80 degree days last week. Sigh. Oregon, stop teasing us, would you please?
