He, She, We

I know I've reached my stress max when I can't stop crying over an email from my visiting teacher (who I barely know) offering to replace a visit (which I begged off because I just couldn't fit it in this week) with a meal, babysitting, or anything else I needed.

People are kind. I need to be a better visiting teacher.

Also, my parents = saints. They've been watching Zoë full-time, mowing our lawn, loaning out their washer/dryer while ours has been broken, driving us places, etc. etc. for weeks. They even cooked a meal for Josh's family on top of all of that. We seriously would not have survived these past few weeks without them.

Had a beautiful funeral for Josh's grandpa yesterday, complete with a military salute whose gunshots couldn't quite compete with the dramatic thunder at the graveside. More on that later. It was worth recording in better-written detail.

Also had a Turley family reunion / cousin wedding this weekend. I went to as many of the activities as I could, and they were great.

Josh is off to another film festival this week and I'm buried under a backlog of papers to grade, but I think I can see the light at the end of the tunnel!

I don't care how crazy life will be with two kids, I am really looking forward to my maternity leave.
