i don't really know how to blog. this will become painfully obvious by the end of this post. can't really form any cohesive thoughts for any length of time....but i will try...here goes:
coming down from the high of a wonderful beach vacation with super fun girls.....well, it kind of sucks. i'm thrilled that i was able to have the experience. however, after 4 days away, i have a very long to-do list and a house that looks like a war zone. and, it's cold.
i attempted to quickly put things back together last night after i returned. did not plan for chewed gum under the couch. or a dehydrated cat. i am most grateful to my husband for keeping the laundry going, dishes clean (for the most part) and for keeping the kids alive. i realize this is much more than most husbands can or will do so their wives can go to palm beach and party like it's 1999.
when the alarm went off this morning i thought it was a practical joke. after 7.5 years of elementary school, i still can't believe how early it starts. and they expect me to have the kid fed, clothed and relatively stink-free?! ridiculous. i have a great school fund raising idea: a program before school for busy (or lazy) parents.....drop your kid off naked, hungry and smelly. for a fee, they will wash, cloth and feed him/her. they would make thousands!
as the afternoon turns to evening, i'm contemplating dinner and evening activities that include dinner prep, homework, sports and boy scouts. as any mom knows, no evening is compete without homework hassles, screaming matches between siblings, complaints about the dinner menu, etc. my crankiness is certain to escalate as the evening progresses......and to make matters worse, i'm in full blown detox. my jeans are not fitting quite like they did before the week long snowcation, and then vacation....i have two choices: new clothes or detox. i'm choosing the latter only because my jeans are really expensive.
as i ease back in to reality, i'm very thankful that bedtime is not too far off.......
