This week is/has been rough. We had visitors last week. One of the set of grandparents made the trek over here from WI for a week of play and visits to both the zoo and the toy store. It was a great visit, but thanks to all of that, I am done with the zoo, costumes and have a new set of toys to try and organize/not step on.
This is our typical Monday routine. Wednesday is pretty similar, except that I get to drop off Josh in the morning instead of staying there.
Monday: 9:15 – drop off Brooke at a friends house to be watched while I work at the preschool with Josh.
11:30 – finish working at school and race back to friends house to pick up Brooke.
11:45-12:30 – lunch
12:30 – drive back to preschool to drop Brooke off for her turn.
1:00 – 3:30 – ME TIME! Well, as me time as it can get with a 2 yr old in the house.
3:30-4:15 – changes, but usually playtime at the preschool playground.
4:30 – 6ish – try to both keep kids satisfied and cook dinner.
Now that I’ve finished (almost successfully) a minimalist challenge where you were to rid your home of a total of 496 items by the end of October, we have some more room in our garage. I plan to do an overhaul of that space as well as the closet that is located in the kids playroom. And as soon as I get my Amazon delivery of both ink and paper; how did I manage to run out of both at the same time? I will be printing and laminating more labels in an effort to make both more usable spaces. So it’s during this time that I will be researching some new dinner ideas, playing with Josh, writing blog posts or organizing/cleaning my house.
Yesterday was Sunday, and while I didn’t try out a new recipe, it was still one that I would like to share. There are some improvements to be made. So check back in tomorrow for that. Hint: It involves chicken
