oh.

it's been a long week. 

i'm sick. 

my girls have been up at all hours for over a week, and so matt and i are exhausted from trying to wrangle m back into bed (she has double ear infections- yep, again) while she is fighting us with every ounce of strength she has. 

suddenly ruby is channeling her 6 week old self and thinking it is a good idea to wake up every 1-2 hours for sustenance. 

um, what! she is 9 months old!

ex.haus.ted.

deep down in my bones tired.

bottom line, i feel depleted and worn down. no good to anyone that i come in contact with.

and yet, i have friends who are going through much harder this week, so it is all relative.

grateful for this one:

(here he is demo-ing our garage to transform it into my studio-

more on that to come)

honestly, i would not be able to do it without him.

rock star sister-in-law chrissy took m to school today 

so i am going to rest small-small now and then try and squeeze in a bit of work. 

meanwhile, 

i think both of us are about to lose it if our daughters (sweet, amazing gifts that they are)

keep up these insane nights of tag-team, up all night, scream/awake/fuss fests.
