my day today

Finally, a day at home.

Since last week, I have been working and busy every day!  Jeremy and I accomplished a lot around the house, and then we were busy out of it.  Tawny and I started cleaning out the Preschool classroom last week, and we were there the last two days for 3+ hours just constantly cleaning, sorting, dreaming, and planning.  It is a ton of work, because every thing got VERY disorganized with just one person running it and not a lot of time to keep things clean.  So we had to empty out an entire room of stuff, put it all back into the right boxes, get rid of stuff we won't use, and reorganize it into two storage closets.  It is looking a lot better, but has a long way to go still.  Did I tell you I am teaching at the preschool this year?  I'm sure I mentioned it.  We haven't sat down and planned out the year yet either, but we will get there after all this hard work is done!

We got to go up to Discovery Bay on Sunday night and then again last night.  Jeremy's parents got a condo, and its only about a 50 minute drive, so Sunday we just went up to swim and have dinner, and last night they got us to come out again for dinner and to visit with Jeremy's brother who we don't see too often.

Monday night I got together with the moms in my mom group - its been probably 3 months since we've done anything, because we've all been so busy!  A mom who just moved to Indianola at the beginning of summer came for the first time, and she's coming over for a playdate at our house tomorrow with her three year old son and 8 month daughter.  Its so fun to be able to meet people in our community who have things in common with me.  She is talking about coming to our church too, so that is exciting.

Anyway, today I have been taking the morning slow.  I haven't had a shower in two days because I have been too tired to get up in the morning before Jeremy leaves for work, and then I can't until nap time usually with the kids.  We are sort of puttering around.  I need to clean the house up for tomorrow.  Shea is playing VERY nicely with his toys - I think because we haven't been home or have been outside he is more interested in them today.

I need to sew a blanket for a friend's baby shower next week - I found theses scraps and squares already cut and will probably put them together into a little mini quilt.  And I wanted to paint the bathroom counter today, since it takes three days to cure and we could use it by Saturday when my sister visits, but I don't think I'm going to get to it today, so I'll probably wait until next week.

And yes, its August and I am wearing a winter sweater.  And my glasses because I can't see today.  And drinking cocoa.  While wearing my baby, because I wear her almost 24/7 in order to get anything done.  Although, last night she did sleep in her co-sleeper by herself for a 4 hour stretch and a 3.5 hour stretch, so hopefully I can get her trained to sleep on her own for at least her morning nap by the time preschool starts, because it will be a lot easier than wearing her the entire class time.

And Shea just ran up to me because he wanted to give me a drink of his milk for some reason and dumped it all over my leg, the carpet, the computer, and the shelf.  Oh the joys of parenting.  I guess that's my hint that I shouldn't be on the computer, haha.  He was playing SO nicely though!
