The End of a Long First Week

This was our first week back from the break and at our new school.  For whatever reason, it seemed like a very long one. At UWF, the enrollment for spring is significantly lower than it has been, and our office has been doing everything in our power to get to the bottom of it. We’ve also been trying to mitigate against budget shortfalls due to declining tuition revenue. And the governor mailed all the deans directly asking for specifics on recruitment strategies and efforts at job placement post graduation.  ?

At home, Selah June has been pretty pooped. Shorter midday naps and long days full of hard playing have left her running on fumes from dinner to bedtime. I ran out of drugs this week, so a night of no sleep also left me feeling ragged.

Jeremy’s foot has still not heeled, but the doctor still thinks he’s making progress. I’m ready for him to feel better and not be so tired all the time. And I know he’s ready to be able to take a shower again.

Selah June has really enjoyed us singing to her lately. I always sing Rock a by Baby to her as we snuggle and she drifts off to sleep, so that has been her request. She also likes me to sing Itsy Bitsy Spider. And sometimes she’ll let me sing the Wheels on the Bus, but she then has to open her eyes to make sure I’m doing the hand motions properly.
