Fun in the Sun......Roof

Get it? Fun in the Sun... roof? This is what happens when you teach your 3 year old that it is a good idea to lock the car when you get out. THEN you leave your keys in the car - you are just running in for a second! LOL

Thankfully my niece was around to re-live her declining youth and crawl on top of the car.

Living day to day

I think reading my sister's post here at http://www.jennsjazzygems.typepad.com/ has made me really think about priorities and what I need to accomplish in the time I have. I constantly feel guilty about the things I am not getting done when I decide it is time to go to bed. I want to be the best mom, the perfect daughter and sister, then still be the inspirational friend that some look to me to be, all while having the perfect house and a healthy dinner on the table each night.

I can not do it all. So when I have to feel lacking in one in order to feel good about the other, I have to sit down and take a breath. What do I want my kids and family to remember me as? The perfect housekeeper and employee, or the mom that sat down and played before bedtime. Maybe the daughter that left the dishes and laundry to spend the day with her mom. Maybe that day, it would be more important to be the sister that I want to be, listening and supporting and loving my sister the way that she deserves.

I know I do not have many outside of my mom and sister that read this, but if you do, please visit their blogs, as their insight is much better then mine. After all, I can't do it all!

I did truly enjoy walking at lunch today taking in one of the last crisp days we have left of fall!

Hope you all can do the same. Love the time you have with the ones that mean the most.

First days of Day Care

Tonight I learned that I can feed my baby and make my daughter dinner at the same time!

So yesterday was Jaiden's first day and it seemed to go well. Today was Jaiden and Ethan went together and Odessa seemed happy as a clam to have my screaming, but adorable little man with her.

We came home and I fed Ethan while I made dinner for Jaiden. Then off to the baths for them both and story time and kisses.

My hubby brought me ice cream for dinner so that was very nice :) Thank goodness tomorrow is Friday. I gave up on soccer so Saturday is free, free, free! I will ignore the house as much as possible.

Back to work

Bibs are the bomb! Don't tell my mother I said that though! I never used them with Jaiden and have finally found out how great they are.

I am back to work and Ethan is growing so fast. Today I did the laundry, cleaned some gutters - which was not fun with my fear of heights, played with Ethan and Jaiden, worked in the yard some and made a gourmet dinner of eggs, applesauce and toast!

Phew, now I am watching a cheesy movie and writing these few sentences.

There, that is the last few weeks in a nutshell!
