Exhausted

As I mentioned last night, I was exhausted by the time I found time to write.  I had the pleasure of spending the evening with Grayson.  I thoroughly enjoy the father/son bonding time, but it is tiring.  As I've stated before, I do not know how single parents manage to function.

Grayson is reaching the phase of childhood where he needs to be able to see me at all times.  The interaction is wonderful!  He is fully engaged with me, what I'm doing, and the environment around him.  You can tell that he is soaking in as much information as possible, and, because he is mobile, he wants to explore the environment around him.  I think it is this desire to learn that makes him want to stay awake.

He was as tired as I was last night, but he refused to go to sleep.  This meant that he was up past 9:00.  This also meant that I was able to finally make dinner for myself at 9:02.  Stacy arrived home shortly thereafter; by the time we were done talking about our days, it was 10:30, and I was soooo ready for bed.

I cheated a bit with the blog.  This means that I still owe one more post from the weekend and a second one today.  I think one of those posts will explore my love/hate relationship with procrastination...
