...instead of just making a little progress on the many messes of my house...
In my last couple weeks of working (outside the house, that is), I had a few people ask me what I would do with all of my free time once I stopped working. I would inwardly give a little chuckle,
hehe, free time, but I honestly couldn't remember what all a mom does at home all day.
I remember now. :)
The busy-ness is not so much in things you can make a list of to impress someone (like your husband) though, sadly!
HOWEVER, I'm pretty sure I haven't been this busy in a loooooong time. *Yes,* a lot of it is because we just had a yard sale and are getting a baby's room ready and doing up extra laundry and just moved two little boys into a new bedroom and sold some furniture and set up an armoire for the computer, and so everything is still out of wack. :) I'm just hoping to actually get one thing completely done instead of a little here and a little there. Little bits here and there add up, but at the end of the day it's difficult to see any progress made, which makes me feel like I was busy all day with nothing to show for it (and I'm sure makes Victor wonder what I do all day even more!)
Gabriel and Zachary are getting used to being home together all day every day. I realized yesterday that they never really had to just play with each other for any length of time--I started going to work when Zachary was four months old, so he wasn't much of a playmate for anyone back then. :) Now they have LOTS of time to fight with each other! :) They're both squealers, too, just for different reasons. Zachary shrieks when he gets angry; Gabriel shrieks if he's hurt or scared. It's a noisy house!
Friends from proofing are giving me a baby shower next weekend, and the invitation is quite possibly the cutest one I have ever seen!! :) I don't think it's specifically a *baby shower* invitation, but it is sooooo exactly what I would have picked!! Haha!! OK I know it's ridiculous to be so excited about a little piece of paper! :) I want to blow it up and use it for Baby Girl Gutierrez room decor.
**side note--just noticed the clock and it's already 11:00!!!! AAAHHHHH!!!**
Insanity. Instead of getting one complete project done, I'm getting NOTHING done. My children are going wild and I need to get off the computer. GOODBYE. Hopefully the rest of the day will not go like this morning (as in--quickly)...
Good news to report before closing: I painted my toenails. Quite pleased with myself!! :) They've been yucky chipped funky color for a loooooong time, and I finally got sick of it and contorted myself into the position necessary to reach them. Now they're a lovely bright red, and Zachary is fascinated with them. Keeps touching them and picking up my foot to see better. :)
**edit**
(sigh) lofty dreams are not always a bad thing BUT in this case--they have not reached their full potential. I haven't accomplished much besides getting tired! Right now I'm playing
this game which is fun, addictive, frustrating, and.... a little bit of a time-waster, I'll admit! Then it will be time for a shower, change/get ready/throw in a load of laundry/get boys up from nap/pick up Victor from work/go visit the tall ship
Juan Sebastian de Elcano which is currently docked (? correct word?) at the Port of Pensacola. It's a commissioned ship in the Royal Spanish navy, 82 years old, still used for training and "ambassadorial purposes" (hehe... sounds so official!), and it's making a stop here in Pensacola as yet another part of our 450th anniversary celebration. They're giving tours tonight 'til 6:00p (as well as other times--if you live in the area, you can read more about it
here) so we'll scoot over there after Victor's done working and hopefully get to see some cool stuff! :)
'Kay! I'm out! Gotta go find me some more daily diff and then continue with my to-do list! :) HA! :) Enjoy your Thursdays all over the world....
