I've been home for a week now and so far life has been anything but dull. It's certainly no vacation, but just as much fun in it's own way. Here is a list of things that have happened this week:
- Effy went from diapers to underwear within 3 days, being 98% potty trained
- 2 nightgowns and 1 dress made for Laine's Babies
- 3 sets of toes and fingers clipped
- Keke's fringe trimmed and already grown back out - time to just let it grow
- At least 15 meals prepared and rejected - why do I bother?
- Several walks in the park = mosquito bites
- 50+ pictures of the children taken to make up for the lost 2 weeks
- Keke tells me off on average 5x a day
- 1 full day of baby V crying
- 4 cards, 7 phone calls; all to England
- Loss of Superman's friend
- Keke turns back time acting like a baby; crawling on the ground, sitting in the high chair & exersaucer, refusing to wipe herself, grunting and whining.
- Received very nice hand-me-down summer clothes for Effy! (some still had tags!)
- Discovered the smell coming from the refrigerator along with 6 uneaten meals that Superman made while I was gone
- Reorganized cupboards due to empty cereal boxes and canned goods on several different shelves.
- Reorganized fabric and children's closets as everything was all muddled
- Read 4 new childrens' books at least 4x a day, including one Paddington puzzle book that Effy also tried to eat
- Intervened in 100 arguments over who had what toy and why they can't have it anymore
- 2 rounds of antibiotics
- Wished for a 30 second button on my microwave for the 10,000th time!
- Found Effy quietly playing with a stick of butter
- Watched WALL-E 5x since Sunday
- Kept the kids up late everyday so I could get a good nap out of them
- Wished I could stay in bed 4 out of 8 mornings, and am thankful for the rest at night
- Prayed for people I love, people I don't know, and for people I will someday know
- Hugged and kissed my children at least 1000x a day...
