Library Lull and the Mommy Report

Friday, lots of people on vacation, lots of people starting their ALA trips, lots of dead time for those remaining. We're in the fiscal close doldrums, can't send down anymore invoices, can encumber until June 30, but no one has any money left. We have gifts to work on, but they are dusty and icky. Hard to be the rah-rah motivator-manager at this time of the year, so it's biding our time until next fiscal year.

The boy has been having night-wakings that we haven't determined are nightmares, but aren't full-on night terrors either. He's 2 in August, and is understandably going through some development (language, sharing/"mine", new hygiene and other routines). He gets so inconsolable that he loses all linguistic capacity to tell us what's wrong. So we guess, guess wrong, get warmer, than lose it again and trigger another tantrum. It's very tiring. Earlier this week up from 1-2am, this morning up around 4am.
