Exhausted and Adrift...

It's been nearly a month since we last posted, which is far too long for an update on where we are.

So, where exactly are we?? We are exhausted... and adrift at times. We are struggling with balancing our jobs, Hudson's school work, his therapy sessions, and keeping Daredevil Finnley from seriously injuring himself every other minute. Oh, and then there was the pool liner that we had to replace, the truck breaking down, and the realization that eating Pop Tarts and ice cream everyday is taking its toll on our bodies. At this point I think "COVID-19" stands for more than just this terrible pandemic; it's also the approximate amount of weight one can expect to gain while spending 3 months under quarantine.

We aren't sleeping well most nights. Hudson is having night terrors almost daily, and comes running into our room several times each night. It was cute at first, but after the 4th night you realize how small a queen mattress is when you add two parents, two cats, and a giant four-year-old who thrashes and kicks in his sleep.

The world is a crazy place these days. We are forever grateful to live in a rural community that doesn't participate in the violent looting and protesting that is spreading everywhere. America is facing one sad pandemic after another it seems, and we're all just treading water... catching our breath when we can before we are hit again.

The hours, days, and weeks are all turbulent waves crashing around us. Some days we float better than others.
