This last week has been rough. Noah’s on break from his preschool, my standby baby-helpers have all taken on bigger workloads/new jobs/life-changing situations, and Noah has picked right now to wean off naps altogether (now! why now!).

Add dreary, rainy weather and severe sleep deprivation to the mix.

I’ve been down about my lack of work time (or maybe it’s my lack of sleep time?), but ^ puts things into perspective.

If I’m enjoying time with my son, if I’m allowing myself to be happy rather than stressed, then there’s nothing unproductive about that.
