Stephen's aunt bought me a whole bucket of flowers to arrange and I have no desire to arrange them. I mean, I do, but I don't want to put in the work. This weekend has just been so rough--at least today and yesterday.

I think I'm just really sleep-deprived. Maybe Stephen is right. Maybe I really do just physically need more sleep. And we definitely need to not stay up so late, ugh. But how do you just watch one episode of NCIS?

Anyway. This week is going to be really busy toward the end. Tomorrow I'm just going to take it nice and easy. Maybe I'll get those flowers arranged while Micah is sleeping.

We had to have one of those awful Difficult Talks about disciplining Micah, the one where I say Stephen's being too hard on him and Stephen says he just doesn't want to create bad patterns in Micah, and then we both agree that we're still on the same side here and each of us strive towards a more balanced parenting approach between the two of us. Some days I just feel like saying, "Does it ever get easier?!!" I know it does. But man, sometimes it's hard to see if there's any light at the end of that tunnel.

In other realms of life, we found out some rather shocking news. Doctors found a cancerous mass in Stephen's dad's stomach. They removed it, but can you say YIKES! He's only 50-something. His dad (Stephen's grandpa) just died of prostate cancer last year, too.

In other realms of life, I found out why Grandma B is not making any noticeable movements toward, well, moving. The place she wants into doesn't have an opening right now. Hm. I never thought about running into that kind of problem. It kind of leaves us in an awkward place, though. Do we house hunt or don't we house hunt? It seems so futile to look at houses, fall in love with them, and not be able to make an offer on them because we're not supposed to move before Grandma does. Why are we even looking??? I'm especially sensitive about it because I fell in love with a house a couple weekends ago and am still mourning the loss of it. It was so perfect. It's gone now. :(

Anyway. So life is kind of overwhelming right now. Sigh.

This week I'm going to Bible study, MOPS, and at the end of the week I'm going for one night to the women's retreat with my church. I'm trying not to think about it. I need to not be overwhelmed more right now.

Well, it's getting late and I need to shower before I watch NCIS with Stephen and then go to bed. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.
