Survival

Ok, maybe the title is a bit dramatic, but I'm 5 minutes away from going to bed, blogging just to meet my own personal goal of one post a week, and well, I feel like I'm in survival mode.

The event I'm managing in NYC just got a lot a bigger (read: more stressful), but it's only 5 DAYS AWAY.  That's right.  5 more days to get through.

I shot a wedding last night 90 min. away from home, a bar mitzvah all day today, and I have a baby shower and hour away tomorrow.  Next week really is the sprint to the finish.  I go to work all day Monday, attempt to breathe, work from home, and figure out what the heck I'm wearing for the event on Tuesday, and then have a loooong work day Wednesday.  The event is Thursday evening and believe me, Friday morning can't come soon enough.

Andrew's schedule leaves little to no assistance with Adalyn, and I'm afraid that the nights of rocking her to sleep during her cold last week, have turned Adalyn into a baby, I mean ummm a toddler, that wants to be rocked back to sleep when she wakes up in the middle of the night.That's right - after sleeping 12 hours straight through for the last 2 months she is back to waking at night.  Last night was a fight from 1am-4am.  I was this close to drugging her with benadryl.

All I can do is pray right now.  I know that I can do this, but there is that little voice of doubt that everything is going to fall apart.  Thankfully, my mom is in town to help out with Adalyn this week.  I could NOT get through these next couple of days without her.  And my Dad took off from work to watch Adalyn all day and night Thursday so that Andrew can attend the event with me after school.

ugh. Sorry if this post seems negative.  I don't mean it to be.  Because really, there are just so many awesome things going on right now.  My business is busier than I ever imagined it to be, and I have met some incredible people in the last 2 weeks.  I literally only have 1 or 2 spots left for family portrait session in October.  How freaking amazing is that?!

While I don't have any photos for you this week,  here is my song for the week:

Because the waves really are calling out my name and laughing at me.  But it's the voice of truth that will get me through.  <3
