Content

As much as I like to grumble about it, I am happiest when busy and under just a wee bit of pressure. The last few months have been brutal in terms of keeping work/life balance, but at the same time, I feel like I was so much more efficient and effective. Now that work has slowed down and I'm not being awakened by my alarm at 5am, I'm feeling a little out of sorts and am learning to be content with the slower pace again. The good news is that I can get back to blogging, but the bad news is that without a deadline, I'm not very creative. So bear with me, I have several blog posts and cute pictures coming soon.

Besides blog entries, this week I am also focusing on being content. It's often an elusive thing if you're goal oriented, but I'm doing my best to be content with a house that is a wee bit tinier than we like, but isn't selling, a dog that is a wee bit more annoying than I have patience for (what, I'm just being honest), a husband who insists on throwing his dirty clothes in a circle around our bed, and two sons who think its hilarious to take a sip from the sippy cup and then spit it all over their shirts. Not funny. Not funny at all, Momma thinks.

Last day


As I struggle to pull myself out of bed and into the shower, I take comfort in the fact that is today is my last crazy day, and come 3:30, I can relax. AND I have most of next week off to spend with the boys. Whoooo!

I bet Dada and the boys will do laundry while I'm gone.

Quatro, or Four

We've been watching a lot of Handy Manny at the house lately. Manny is hispanic, so he says everything twice. Once in Spanish, then in English. He's kind of like Dora the Explorer, but more rugged. In honor of Manny, the countdown today is numero quatro, or number four.


This is not a recent picture, but I really like it. This was taken at my work during a reception this past March, right after the boys turned one.
