Last day of Spring Break. I'm not sure if I'm happier or the kids are! Don't get me wrong, we had fun this week, nothing super exciting but it was REALLY nice sleeping until about 8:30 every day. I quickly realized just how much I actually get done on the days both kids are in school, or even the mornings when its just Stella with me...its impossible to calmly and happily run errands with them both. Stella refusing to ride in a cart because she's not a baby, Luca zooming around non stop like a cork thats just been shot out of a wine bottle. It's exhausting.
I'm going to have to adjust my schedule too, now that school is back. I've been going to bed after midnight every night, totally exhausted. I feel like I'm turning a corner a bit though today. The past 2 weeks I've done the minimal amount needed to keep the house running. Paid bills, did some dishes, the kids and the fur baby all got fed and I even cleaned the litter box which was gross but not as bad as I was anticipating it to be. Today I did 2 loads of laundry and folded 2 more. I took out all the trash. I made sure Reese had food and water before going to bed and before he came hollering after me to remind me! I de-cluttered the little table by the sink and I've started making plans in my head on what to do to the living room to control the kids massive stockpile of toys. With Stella's birthday only a month away I have got to weed out some of the stuff they don't play with.
We went to church this morning. I was worried that it would be really lonely sitting in the pew all by myself, going up for communion all by myself, not getting my kiss from you during the offering of peace. Lucky for me (or not?) the nursery was closed today so little miss accompanied me to service while Luca went to sunday school. She was actually pretty good, aside from loudly asking during the quietest moments if it was all done yet lol.
Pastor John asked about you, as did a few ladies from my women's group. Michelle sat near us and got to talking to Stella during peace and was asking if she was excited to be in her class next year. Stella of course said 'yes, me big girl now!'
I don't have any pictures for you today. I'm trying to make an effort to take some every couple days so you can see for yourself what we're up to. I don't even know if you're reading these yet, darm spotty desert/mountain internet. I want to tell you all the stupid and silly little things that happen during our day, the million unimportant things that would normally come up in our evenings, all the things I can never seem to think to say when we have that rare moment to see each other 'face to face' through the computer. 15 minutes just isn't enough time to tell you how much I love you and how much I totally and completely miss your face.
I love you baby,
P.S. - don't spend thousands of dollars on an authentic Afghanistan rub....the kids or the cat will just puke on it and ruin it ;-)
