Attempting to be a Super Mom

Good morning! Is anyone else as tired as I am? Good grief! I need a weekend to recover from my weekend.  The weather outside is:::: It's chilly this morning, but it's supposed to get beautiful later today.  The first half of our week actually looks amazing. On the breakfast plate this morning:::: Just coffee so far. I'm really thinking about a bagel though.  As I look outside my window::: It's so beautiful! The sun is out, the skies are blue, the grass is green, and SPRING IS HERE! Right now I am:::: Trying to type this post at the kitchen table, but I have a wild Scotland in my lap, and she seems to think she should be typing this post instead. Harley keeps walking in between my feet, rubbing against my ankles. .................... Ok, I've moved upstairs to my bedroom with the girls.   As I look around the house:::: I have a basket of laundry in the living room begging to be folded and folded clothes piled on the ottoman in need of being put away.  T

Woo!  I feel like the last couple of weeks have been insane.  We're just adjusting to another new normal with Shawn working from home, and last week was Spring Break. Shawn had to go to Omaha for work, so the kids and I tagged along.  While he was working, we were out exploring and having fun.  We didn't have a single lazy day the entire break.

As I look around the house:::: There is a pile of laundry for me to fold on the couch and the breakfast dishes in the sink. Shawn and Sydney are asleep, snuggled together on the c

It's been a couple of weeks since I've been able to do this post...  I feel like we've had some huge changes here which I mentioned in the last post.  Good changes, but they keep me fairly busy.  Eventually we will get into a groove, but until then, please bear with me. The weather outside is:::: Right now, it's about 20 degrees and the snow that hadn't melted yesterday is now laying on top of a solid sheet of ice.  Loading up the car for the school run this morning, I slid down the driveway.  Side note, Toms are not meant for ice or snow as they give no traction and really don't keep your feet very warm or dry. On the breakfast plate this morning:::: Nothing yet.  I'm thinking about a nice cup of coffee, maybe some oatmeal and a half of a bagel. As I look outside my window::: The ground is sort of covered here and there in snow, but not much.  It's mostly just cloudy, and I'm glad to be inside. Right now I am:::: Sitting a
