I still think that a baby is my reason for not being able to blog recently ... Or that's what I tell myself at least ... I mean, just look at this ...
Yup ... and there is a ton more where that came from ... and yes, she is this cute ALL THE TIME ... in case you were wondering.
The good news is that our days have developed into some sort of a routine ... Our nights on the other hand ... are another story ... for a later date ... after I've had my requisite 12 cups of coffee ... I jest ... sort of.
The one thing I have realized after spending a few weeks going what can only be described as 'bat shyt crazy' ... is the need to get out of the house. I spent weeks being a hermit and soaking up the light that is T. I was showering ... and doing everything I felt would make me feel like the day had been a success ... But I still cried nearly every weekend when the Capt'n wanted to sleep in and lounge around the house/on the couch ... truth is ... that was my everyday and I looked to the weekends to be different and bring excitement. I LOVE having family around (the Capt'n and Munch) ... but I wanted to doooooo something ... which to be honest ... was the last thing they wanted to do on a weekend. So there has been a SMALL learning curve ... we'll call it a 'period of adjustment'.
Long story longer ... I realized that to make it better, I needed to make myself get out of the house daily so that weekends became weekends again ... and not periods of 48 hours where I needed to be kept sufficiently amused so as to prevent hysterical crying jags, snappy, angry argumentative reactions or pouting (collectively known as 'bat shyt crazy').
Slowly those things emerged ... So here goes ...

Monday: Dog Park with Otto while Patton spends some time at 'finishing school' working on his 'manners'.
Tuesday: Grocery Store (maybe) and Errands (get gas, get dog food, get ferret food, take a walk, etc ... you'd be surprised what you can find when you are looking for things to do)
Wednesday: Grocery Store (if not on Tuesday) and hopefully Farmers Market
Thursday: Our day to stay in bed (and do a house project)! YAY!
Friday: Boys come home!
Not bad ... if I do say so myself ... Its very mom-ish but whoa, there are so many things to do around here and they just keep piling up ... ESPECIALLY when one 'kidwhoshallnotbenamed' refuses to be anywhere farther than 4 inches from me ... ugh ...
But isn't she cute?!
