Lately....

... My life (every morning) has become ... vitamins, tylenol, hair up, work out clothes on.... GO! Then... my day with the kids starts. Forgive me for how I look lately - dark circles under my eyes (which aren't focusing well these days either - total fatigue), clothes that look like pajamas, bags hanging from every arm, kids hanging there too.... And... forgive me my anemic posts.... nothing to say, down, harried, sparse..... I don't scrapbook or write in my spare time anymore - I fold laundry, mop, straighten up toys.... I'm in transition right now.... will regain control, I promise :)

A few things are contributing to this phase.....Some negative - a traffic ticket got me down, my 4 year old has allergies; the baby has a cold. Some neutral - end of the school year means lots of printing for my middle schooler and the preschoolers have discovered Noggin computer games plus we've had a string of rainy days so ..... I get just snippets of time on my computer - I just finished organizing a successful fundraiser at my daughter's school - we've had holidays and events almost every weekend - we're potty-training and, therefore, peeing lots of pants. Some positive - we're planting veggies and flowers, adding toys and "summer stuff" to our backyard - planning a vacation - starting a new venture.... MORE.....

Anyway - need to get back on things - revisit some fab recipes I've received since the holidays - talk cool Mommy and Baby product and service (mothers morning out programs - cheap and drop-in... need I say more?) - A new "what to do when..." list / discussion (for example - preschoolers want to do some art - baby does too, obviously - combination results in furniture decorated with orange marker, a glitter glue "tragedy" and some fighting.... Help, right?) All good (extreme brain fry has robbed me of my ability to use other adjectives, adverbs - well... descriptors in general).

Can all you other SAHMs relate to this "phase" (carb-craving, detail-forgetting, early-crashing - the list goes on)? I'm thinking "YES"!!!! Without the downs from which to learn, we would never have our amazing highs, right? Currently rejuvenating..... See you all mid / late June (with photos, links, etc. - among other things.. got a new computer, so.... free to play!).
