Productive!

So it is 11am.  So far I have picked up the living room, vacuumed the living room, folded diapers, do the kids’ laundry, unpack the dishwasher, put dirty dishes in it, clean up the island, clean the bathroom mirror/counter/sink/toilet, and write 3 thank you notes.  I will do the shower soon. Warren was fussing and […]

Monday, Monday…

Overall today was a good day.  Early this morning we came to the conclusion that my breastpump is dying.  With the weekend coming up that we have, I can’t risk having a dead pump.  After debating between buying a used pump off CraigsList and getting a new one using gift cards, we decided to go […]

Another one bites the dust

Exceeding Expectations

Today exceeded my expectations.  We had Owen’s birthday party at 11.  Usually this is the time Laura starts to eat lunch and is in bed around noon.  Today she didn’t get lunch until a little after noon.  She played with Owen’s toys for most of the party.  She is still too young to really play […]

Bad day

Today is not a good day.  Things started falling apart around 10.  Laura is being super whiny, crying super easily, and just wanting tons of cuddles and my full attention.  This doesn’t work well when Warren wakes up and wants to eat.  I can’t give her full attention.  Then she wanted to sit on my […]

And the walls came tumbling down…

Yesterday was an ok day.  We had play group in the morning, which went well.  Laura still didn’t play with the others while I went out for the parent ed. portion.  My goal is by the time this round of play group is over she will stay in the room.  It isn’t a problem for […]
