Go go go go go go go! It seems that, since school started only a week and a half ago, I haven't been anywhere near a computer long enough to tell anything!
Zack and Addison are both loving school. The morning and bedtime routines have come to be very easy with Zack. I was actually worried about this. He is a night owl and loves to sleep in. Addison would rather go to bed no later than 8 and be up by 7. He is doing pretty well though. And every morning, it's, "Mom, I am going to lay in the tub for a little bit before you wash my hair. Can you make me three scrambled eggs with cheese so they can cool off before I am done?" No problem, buddy! Addison just gets up, takes a bath, and feeds and dresses herself. Although I miss helping her out, I am glad to have one less to have to aide every step of the way.
Jenna isn't taking too kindly to both of her siblings being out of the house all day every day. We spend a LOT of time sitting and reading and cuddling. Not that I am complaining, but she would rather be hangin with the sibs. Oh well. This Friday, the 5th, she will be starting her own school and won't have time to miss them.... or not as much time that is.
As for me, just trying to keep the laundry caught up and meals made and floors vacuumed is keeping me up at night. I don't know how a person like me would ever be able to work outside the home and keep things up. I think maybe it's because I have a little OCD about how things are done around here. I try not to be. I really do. But saying is easier than doing sometimes. I have also come to realize that, even though I wouldn't trade one second of it for the world, taking care of Grandma took a lot away from my housekeeping. I just did the bare minimum while caring for her around here and now it's time to get back on it and git r dunnnnnn!
Speaking of which.... the dryer is buzzing! Until next time!

The thing about working outside the home is that then no one's here during the day, so it's just like you left it (messy or clean) when you get back home. So it's really not so bad, being gone all day. That being said, I've neglected the house lately and there are dust bunnies to tell the tale. I have no excuse, except for a late night television and popsicle habit.
glad to hear that Z is doing well with the adjustments. I'm sure that you will do well once a routine is down with Jenna too. That's all that housekeeping is anyway...routines.

Housekeeping . . .What is that again?
Hey, young moms, enjoy your kids and quit stressing about the housework. It isn't homework it's housework and you're making a home for your family. Enjoy! Aside from ecoli I'll eat at your table and enjoy myself 100%. Enjoy your family (take it from me, soon they'll be gone)!!!!
