Well, as I suspected, finding time to keep up with a blog is going to prove difficult at times. Life at home with an infant keeps a Mama on her toes, so I'm going to have to work extra hard to keep this going.
This will be a bit of a ramble, so bear with me. I'm still trying to figure out a flow to this whole process...
It's almost Thanksgiving!
That means Nick is almost 11 (wow!), Brooklyn is here, Shannon's birthday is right around the corner, and the chaos of the holidays is upon us! Pulling down Christmas decorations so we can put up the tree while Brooklyn is here, coordinating with family for Thanksgiving and birthday celebrations, and this girl here is already exhausted just thinking about it all! Add to the mix the fact that I, in my infinite wisdom and new mama brain, signed on to be Nick's room mom at school... yeah.
Just for giggles, here is my list of things that need to be done this week (in addition to work, of course)...
- Finalize plans for Nick's school Thanksgiving party - in and of itself, not a huge task, except that approximately half of the class will not be there, so finding volunteers to bring food for the kiddos is proving a difficult task.
- Coordinate with my mom for Thanksgiving dinner.
- Facilitate the decorating of the Christmas tree. (Last year was the first year I've ever had an artificial tree in my house, and although it's definitely NOT my preference, it does make the whole process a bit easier...and I don't have to worry about cleaning pitch off my new hardwood floors.)
- Dentist appointments tomorrow for both Nick and I... just cleanings, but still...
- Spend as much time with that baby of mine as possible... I go through withdrawals by the end of a workday.
- Pull coordinating outfits together for Shannon, myself, Nick, Brooklyn, and Greyson for our family pictures next Sunday...this means shopping...ugh.
I know there is more, but for the life of me I can't think of anything else at the moment... but you get the picture... This is me, doing life Hummingbird style.
