Catching Up

I'd like to say that I sailed into this first week of the full studio schedule fully prepared and rocking the working mom routine again, but last week pretty much kicked me in the tail.


1. We ran out of milk and I didn't realize til 10 p.m. Monday night after I was essentially in bed for the night. I'm so thankful that I had a single serving (like a juice box, but 8 oz. of milk instead) stashed in the door of the fridge from when the boys had to pack a lunch a week or two ago so that the baby didn't starve at breakfast Tuesday morning.


2. We skipped school Tuesday morning to get to the store because we were not just out of milk, but out of dish soap, laundry detergent, trash bags and diapers. DIAPERS. Again, thankful that I keep a few diapers in the car in case I forget the diaper bag somewhere so that the poor baby didn't have to hang out in a super soggy mess until we made it to the store.


3. Baby girl decided I didn't need to sleep between the hours of 3:30-5:30 for half of last week. Averaging 5 hours of sleep a night wasn't awesome.


4. The laundry and kitchen suffered the worst at my return to work. I caught up with the kitchen by mid-week, but ended up with a gigantic pile of laundry by the weekend, and then we were busy during the weekend and I only got through 2 loads. Today is laundry day until I start working this evening.


5. To make things even more interesting, Brian had jury duty last Tuesday and was selected for a trial that lasted the rest of the week. I'm so thankful my parents were able to help us out with getting the boys to their evening activities and bring them home later than usual while Brian was serving at the courthouse.

6. I did knit, but not very much. A little bit of sleeves, a little bit of a toe for a new sock.

7. Did I mention my phone died? I have a new one now that I'm trying to figure out, but I'm on instagram now because of it. If you'd like to follow:  I'm looking for folks to follow also. So far it's ALL knitting, and I have to say that I really don't mind. :) So many beautiful projects going for everyone!
