Wed Oct 7th

Lincoln slept through the night. Praise be to Heaven! Unfortunately I did not sleep through the night. I kept waking up thinking I heard Link crying. I guess I'm just too used to waking up. Oh well, maybe he's sleep schedule is on an upward turn. At least I really really hope so. Tomorrow he'll be a big one year-old. Maybe his present to both of us will be sleep. We went to Costco today to get some food and to get Lincoln a birthday present. Nick has been out of town since Monday. I feel like a zombie. I cannot wait till he comes home.

The hardest part of Nick being gone is the night. I feel like I'm I juggler attempting to juggle too many balls. And I'm going to drop all of them ... including the ball of sanity. I nearly had a nervous break down tonight as I was trying to get all three kids to bed. Lincoln was just not going to sleep and it was late and the girls needed me to read them stories to go to sleep. I almost texted Nick and told him how much I hated his job, but I decided to not taint his trip with my bad attitude.
