1. Successful shopping for "back to school" clothes. Me + my mum + her charge card = One VERY happy and nattily-dressed Bellymonster.
2. Times Luke peed through the bedsheets at my parents' house.
3. Needles I received in order to start school in September. Ouch!
4. Days I've been without a working computer, courtesy of a busted video card. Or so my husband claims. I think he's been surfing by questionable sites, but he claims not....either way, four days with NOT 'net was harder than I imagined, until suddenly, it wasn't.
5. Loads of laundry I washed, sorted and put away at the beginning of the week. Go, me!
6. Loads of laundry I REwashed, REsorted and added to because Mark discovered that I'd been "washing" everything in fabric softener, not detergent. Yes, I AM a domestic goddess. I'm just not a smart one!
7. Times I have decided upon and then cancelled plans for the Reds' birthday party. How the HECK did time get away from me like this and how do I claw some back?
8. Times Luke used the phrase, "Mummy, stop it. You're freakin' me out!" when I leaned into kiss him goodnight.
9. Times I have said, "I am grieving the loss of these halcyon days," when asked how I feel about the Reds both being in school next week.
10. Days until Luke starts school (note to self: step up the potty-training efforts, slacker!) and I do, too.
And you? How has your week been, by the numbers?
I LOL'd at the fabric softener. Awesomesauce.
ReplyDelete2 - the number of days per week I will be working
12 - weeks I've spent nearly every waking (and sleeping) moment right next to my baby (plus 37 weeks inside)
4 - how many glasses of wine I will consume each night to get through my first week back to work
(hugs on the back to school frenzy for you and yours!)
Fabric Softener? Hahahahahahahaha. That deserves a Bailey's. And a bottle of wine for me while I commiserate with you.
ReplyDeleteMy weekend has been awesome for getting stuff done! Crafty Lady in the house!
1. new colour Canon Printer (total score at Future Shop for $10.00!) set up to print pics for Abby to take to school - some project the teacher wants to do with them.
2. items sewed for Abby's new school: A comforter cover, and a matching pillowcase for nap time. ('Cause I am just that cool)
3. coats of clear gloss Varathane polyurethane on Lolo's new vanity. Now just wait a week for it to cure, and then she can play!
4. loads of laundry so far. Although I have not folded any, nor put any away.
5. times I had to re-put Lolo back to sleep.
Of course there was the usual week's worth of Mommy awesomeness. My kids are fed, and relatively clean. And thankfully asleep.
SIGH.
5: Number of days I've been at work.
ReplyDelete2: Number of days I've taught students.
2: Glasses of wine I had with Trish tonight.
This explains where you've been! I tweeted you the other night because I felt like it had been forever since I'd heard anything about you. Who knew forever was four days. LOL
ReplyDeleteSo nice to be missed, flailing as I was, under all that soft, great-smelling though unclean laundry! LOL!
ReplyDeleteThe rest of you have all been so productive - wow! Stacey, if ever you feel the urge to powersand and varnish my kitchen table, it's all yours!
Happy "getting back to school" vibes to all of you and thanks for popping by!
