Never fails...as soon as I say something is going good, Caleb flips the script again. Last night he went to bed too early (7:00 was his last feeding), so that meant a 4:00 a.m. wake up, after which he didn't really want to go back to sleep, then fell asleep and woke up at 7:00 a.m. again. TIRED. That's what I am right now. But if I take a nap that's going to throw me all off and I won't be able to sleep tonight and I'll be more tired. Now, because his feeding schedule is going with the 4, 7, 11, 1, 4, 7 thing, it's going to be cycled into an early sleep again...I'm going to try to keep him from eating and sleeping until later so that we can get back on track...but actually, that's not really up to me cuz when he wants to eat, he wants to eat NOW. Oh well.

I wonder if Caleb notices that Dave's not here. He'll be so confused when Dave gets back. It'll be like a distant stranger coming into his life again. Lol. Even though Dave gets to sleep through the night without feedings while he's on his trip, he sounds more tired than ever. I don't envy him...chaperoning this trip to DC, Philly, and NY is a rough one.

Went to school today to dust around my desks...I thought it would take me forever but it actually only took about an hour and a half, which was good. I'm trying to ease myself back into it. Gotta get with it with my planning...I have my ideas of what I'm going to do but I want to create as much as I can ahead of time so I don't have to worry about it. And I want to make stuff as easy to grade as possible cuz that's going to be a struggle. We'll see how it goes.

Dave and I asked Blake and Stacie if she would want to babysit Caleb next year...I think if we can find a sitter that I'm comfortable with I'll go back next year to finish up my ten years...not that I don't intend on going back to the DOE later, but just in case. We want to try to get pregnant again next summer (for some reason, part of me has an urge to get pregnant again this summer, as crazy as that sounds...I better go back and read my posts from when Caleb was driving me nutts!). I told Dave when we have two kids then I'll stay home...at least we won't be paying for two sitters and then I can babysit and supplement Dave's income. We'll see how it all works out.
