My Letters to Chris: May 3, 2015

Hey Sweetie!

I am so excited that we get to Skype with you next Sunday. You will have to let us know what time so that I can have my Skype on. We are in church from 9 - 12pm….which would be 8 - 11am your time. Actually, I think we are all excited to see you and talk to you. Just let me know the details. :)

FYI…I did not like that I did not really get an email last week! It made me sad--I look forward to you emails each week. I understand how you get busy, but….

This week has been tough. I have been exhausted. Danny's birth put me way behind on sleep and homework! This last week, I did the hospital from 1 - 11pm on Monday and Tuesday. Then we had a "lab" on Wednesday from 9 - 4 where we did mock codes…it was fun, but I really could have used to time to rest. :) Then of course there was class on Thursday and Friday. This week will not be real easy either. I have my last 2 days at the hospital on Monday and Tuesday. I have to take a final in my online class sometime this week, I think..could be next week??? Then on Thursday, I take my final in my nursing class. I am a bit overwhelmed (as usual) at the amount of material we are covering. I wonder how I am going to squeeze it into my pea brain! lol

Tiffany is doing better on the medication. She has not been coming home in tears like she was. She is still struggling in school though. She is failing almost all of her classes. I emailed the counselor and asked her what we should do. She was happy that I emailed her--she had been watching TT's grades and had been worried, but she didn't want to make her more anxious. She ended up calling Tiffany down to her office on Friday, and they made a plan AND a back up plan. When Tiffany came home on Friday, she seemed relieved. She doesn't feel as trapped as she did. She and the counselor changed her schedule for next year also. She will be taking easy classes to hopefully get her GPA back up! She still has a lot to do in this last month. It will be a challenge to get her to stay focused…it is a good thing I will basically be done with school and I can devote more time to her.

I am supposed to go to Jessica's next week and help her out, but I am starting to think that I really just need to be home with Tiffany. I didn't tell Jessica that, but I let her know that if she didn't need me, I would be alright to not go out and help. I didn't want to say outright that I would not go out--our relationship isn't that strong yet. It has really improved, but it is still not quite there. She said that she would think about it this week and let me know. I guess this week will be her first time alone at home without Tim. I think she will do alright. Danny is such a good baby!

With that being said…here are your pictures :)

Must be a good dream :)
