pass the espresso

It’s been a crazy month few weeks. If you’ve popped over to Joey’s blog you know that she’s been battling with this sleep deprivation thing that may or may not be narcolepsy. It’s a real concern right now. It’s hard for her to be optimistic  –especially, when she doesn’t have any energy. I am trying to be the supportive wife and console. The first sleep study she could get in isn’t until the end of July so the meantime she’s been battling to stay awake as well as trying to lead a normal day-to-day life with the boy.

They pretty much have the routine down – going to the pool everyday and playing with the neighborhood boys. We’ve gained a lot of ground with socialization and trying new activities. He’s gone from hanging on his mother’s neck in the pool to jumping off the diving board and swimming to the other side on his own. We’ve also gained a little ground on keeping him eating healthy – at least during the week when we have him since his father feeds him KFC and fish sticks on the weekend. We’re working with his father on this but it’s proving to be very frustrating. We’ve been working on the co-parenting thing and having game plan discussions.

My bootcamp schedule has been shot to hell since I starting having morning meetings with my career coach. Today we upped it to three meetings a week so bootcamp is zilch will have to take a backseat to my career planning. I’m excited about our progress and think it will be beneficial soon.

I’ve been reading all these blogs that talk about their local pride event that they just celebrated. Some complete with some very interesting photos. I feel like Hotlanta got robbed this year of their pride event because of the drought last year. Oh, yeah – we’re having it Halloween weekend here but I am missing it as a summer bikini clad, half- naked people running around celebration.

Good news is that I am still employed. My office has found work for me and honestly, it’s been a cake walk working in the office compared to being out in the elements roasting my @ss off on site under my raging micromanager of an existing boss. I also get Friday off as a holiday and Joey and I are going to roll into a long weekend together. I’ll make the espresso, sweetie!
