A smorgasboard

I meant to post about our trip today but my computer is down and I cannot upload photos to Nic's computer because the memory is full. I don't have many photos from the trip anyways because I was too busy to take any.
I am tired tonight. Tired from life and the wear of daily living. Tired from worrying about tomorrow. Tired of disagreeing with people and philosophies. Tired from thinking too much. I am concerned that Remy's therapist pulled his neck muscle or put his back out when he struggled too much while she tried to stretch him. I'm tired of not being able to communicate with him and worrying that I am missing some important signals from him.
But there are so many reasons to be thankful and keep going.
When we got back from our little trip there was a letter with a gift money from someone, it is exactly the amount we needed to get the timing belt replaced on my car. We have an appointment on Tuesday so the next trip I make for therapy will be worry free as far as the vehicle is concerned.
I got a second job at Walgreens which I will start next week. It is part-time and will enable me to keep my job at Lake and Home. This will make things a little less tight around here and which, hopefully, means that Nic will have a little extra for fun things. He works so hard so that I don't have to work full-time and I know how hard it is to work long hours and not have extra leftover for his little projects.
We have a lead on daycare for Remy since I will need to start working during the day at Lake and Home in the next couple of months and it is a family that Nic knows and trusts. I am coming to terms with having him in daycare for a couple days a week. There are many reasons for that, but most importantly, Remy seems to really thrive off of social interaction. The bulk of his social interaction is with Jackson and Tucker, who will be moving soon. If he has other children to play with he ignores feedings, diaper changes and even me because he gets so involved in playtime. I know how much he will love being around other children and having that interactive playtime consistently.

Please pray for Remy, he has been having issues going to sleep for the last week and since his therapy appointment he has taken maybe 2 of his bottles without a fight. He seems to be in pain and will tilt his head to the side like his neck is spasming. I had initially planned on taking him to a chiropractor today but he seemed so much better this morning I decided against it. He woke up from his nap at 4 today, too late to do anything, and he was having the same issues again.
Also pray for our family as we adjust to my working two jobs. Until I start working days at Lake and Home I will most likely be working every evening and I know how tiring that will be for everyone.
