Wednesday - Return to Normal

Today was the official return of normal life.  Daddy went back to work.  The kids and I hung out at home.  I avoided the mountain of laundry that's waiting for me.  Just like usual.

Joey found a new mode of transportation.  

 Morgan decided to get up at 3:00am.  FOR THE DAY.  The Hubs and I tag-teamed trying to get her back to bed and then I finally just stayed up with her and brought her downstairs at 5am.  I don't know what her deal was, but it wasn't sleep.  Uggh.

Morgan helped with the dishes and refused to get down.  A whole new world up there!

 I snuck away for some Mommy time since my sitter was available.  I went to Pilates (I've been at it for just over 8 weeks now and I'm proud of myself for sticking with it!)  I'm already sore from today, I'm sure I won't be able to sit down tomorrow & Friday.  But I am noticing a difference in my strength, especially  my core!  

Later on while I was still out, I shot the Hubs a text saying "Sneak out of work early and  come meet me at our favorite Sushi place!"  And he did ; )  I'm sure he was only able to because it is a holiday week and his afternoon clinic was canceled.  I'll take it.

I give up on trying to flip this pic the right way....

I had some rewards bucks to use up at Williams-Sonoma and I don't know what my obsession with kitchen stuff is lately -- maybe the fact that I can't do anything elaborate right now makes me want to even more?  I can barely chop a vegetable these days without having to stop to pick up a crying child, lol!  And getting dinner together every night is a real challenge.  But anyway, I picked up this cookbook/wine book and it's really good, so far!

I also had to get myself the clearance Starbucks tumbler travel mug because, well, it was pretty.  And $7.  After the holidays, I'm really cracking down on our spending.  So I think for only spending $7 today, I did pretty well.  Believe me, there was temptation all around!!!

I got all excited when my email inbox filled up yesterday with MOMS Club invites for the month of January.  Then I told myself I have to actually GO.  So it is my goal to try to make 3 events this month; I thought 3 would be do-able.  With both children in tow.  Wish me luck!
