{almost} Thursday Thoughts...

I'd be lying if I said working full time and trying to keep up at home wasn't wearing me down.  There are days when I feel like I'll never catch up...there are days when I don't even try...then there are days I work like heck to get it all done.  I cry almost daily because I feel like I'm missing out on Joel's first year.  I want to quit my job and stay home, but I can't.  Posts have been scarce, but I haven't had time for blogging as of late. 

Instead, I've been...

rushing to early morning meetings

fighting a cold

working on fourth grade book reports and other homework

helping study for math, spelling, social studies & science tests

arguing with a certain nine-year-old about said homework & practicing good hygiene habits

making lists

grocery shopping

changing dirty diapers 

scheduling & driving to doctor's appointments 

making bottles

 doing dishes

giving baths to a cute baby

cooking with Daniel

running to soccer practice two nights a week & games on Saturdays

writing lesson plans

wiping off of almost every shirt I own

playing with blocks

cleaning bathrooms 

washing, drying, folding & putting away never-ending mounds of laundry

carving pumpkins with my buddies

beginning to stress about the holidays...yes, already

living for the weekends.
