Happy Saturday, friends. This week, much like the many before it, has been one heck of a week. The girls started back up at school, and even though it went a lot smoother than I had been expecting, I feel like I need several naps a day because my coffee isn't touching the exhaustion I feel. I'll adjust eventually, I'm sure. Thankfully, both girls (despite my worries), showed no resistance to falling back into the school morning routine and have been doing well throughout the entire (shortened) school day!  There are a few kinks that are going to have to be worked out though.

I mean that quite literally. Last weekend, I somehow aggravated my sciatic nerve. Every single day since then, I have been struggling with random bouts of intense pain. I am fine one minute and then my calf muscle feels like it's tightened and my ankle feels like someone went all Annie Wilkes on it. Not fun, but I'm stubborn and worried about going to a doctor's office at the moment, so I have been struggling (not so) silently at home. By the way- if you have experienced something like this before and have any recommendations PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE leave them in the comments. I really need to sleep throughout the night, especially now.

This weekend, I'm going to work on resting and recharging. We made it through rather nicely this last week and I'd like to say the same next and all subsequent weeks.
