This week has been a bit of a rough one over here. The Man is back to work, I’m full-time mom-ing it while trying to also get some work in at nap times, and we are currently trying to figure out if Babycakes has an allergy to dairy… so that’s fun! I am really hoping the dairy allergy isn’t happening, because that would totally change EVERYTHING in my world.
It was a bit of a blow hearing that from the doctor yesterday, so I’m really hoping that isn’t the situation. We should know for sure in a handful of days so fingers crossed…
Suffice to say, I am exhausted and I can’t WAIT for the weekend to get here! Happy Friday my friends!
song of the week
Song of the Week is Carry On Wayward Son by Kansas. Primarily because it’s Babycakes’ new favorite song and watching him get all excited about it fuels my Supernatural-loving soul.
