Guess I should add "failing to keep up blog" to my ever-growing list of things I'm totally screwing up lately. This stay-at-home-mom-with-no-kids-at-home thing is waaaay harder than I expected. Everyone feels sorry for me, I know. But really, I think I set my expectations too high and I have just started to come out of my M-F funk. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE staying home but I really thought I would actually get some things accomplished in the 30 hours I have alone each week. Unfortunately, the reality is... not much has changed except now I don't have to listen to anyone complain about me making too much noise when I vacuum :) I feel like I spend 80% of my day running errands and the other 20% cleaning up the previous nights mess. It takes about 20 minutes for the kids to un-do everything I've done and my life kind of seems like the movie Groundhogs Day. Same crap, different day. Thankfully, I have three other SAHM's that I can vent to about these pathetic problems...shout out to Candi, Jaime, and Jessica for our bi-monthly lunch/bitch fests (and for volunteering me to work the bookfair and be head kindergarten room parent...not).
Anyway, to semi-catch up, I'm just going to throw a bunch of random pictures out there (mostly of Trevor and Cate!) and call it a day :)
