Is it a full moon?

It is after 9:00pm and my child is STILL awake. He apparently got his second wind after his bath tonight and is running around the house like a banshee. He's not being whiny or is in a bad mood; he's just so full of energy it's ridiculous. The worst part, though, is that I really would like a cupcake but won't have one while he's still awake because it means I'd have to share. He doesn't need sugar this late (and obviously, I do).
So now, 45 minutes later, it seems he's down for the count. We had a great weekend. Busy, but great. Saturday was another day at the market. It was rainy, but we still did okay. Our flavors were awesome this week-- dreamsicle, chocolate malt, mixed berry and lemon. We've been snacking on the minis all weekend. We missed one birthday party on Saturday morning, but went to London's first birthday on Saturday afternoon. I wish I had pictures but I had left my camera at home. We had a few friends over last night for dinner. Jason says summer can now feel complete because he finally did some grilling. We bought a London broil at the Fresh Market and put bleu cheese on top-- yum! We watched part of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and got a great night's sleep. We all slept in this morning, had cinnamon rolls for breakfast (made by Suzanne, the awesome baker that we share a table with at the Market) and then took a three hour nap. Went to another birthday party this afternoon, dropped in to see my folks for bit, delivered some cupcakes and went to dinner. And now, we're finishing up HP (have I mentioned how much I love HP?)
This is my last week before returning to work. Part of me is sad that the summer went by so quickly, but another part of me is excited to go by to work. I love teaching; I love my students and I love CS. However, the beginning of the school year will mean Ethan starting a new babysitter's and as much as I love going to work, I hate leaving my baby. I know he'll be in good hands; it will just be hard to leave him. I guess it's not an easy thing for any mother, but sometimes a necessary one. And to be honest, I'm not sure I would be a great full-time stay-at-home mom. I commend all those who do it, but I don't think I have the patience for it. In my head, it would be all rainbows-and-craft-projects-and-trips-to-the-library-and-cooking-projects but I know the reality would mean me in pajamas all day, just trying to get the dishes done. Nah, we're better off with me working. :)
