Dishes are in the sink. Lunches need to be packed. Dust sits on the furniture. Webs and bug carcasses are gathered around the mailbox. Dinners are last minute. Laundry is behind. And don’t even look at the floor.*
What is going on around here??
Mom’s back to work! And it’s crunch time!
So, everything home-wise is slowing down. Less adventures around town, less camera-time, less stuff. Playing second fiddle to Paul’s paycheck means that for me to get anything done for my professional existance, I either have to figure out daycare or carve time elsewhere. Time for myself? You must be kidding!
* Roomba’s battery died and is backordered several weeks. The horror!

Holly have you considered that getting a cleaning lady one day a week for a half-day (share with someone in the neighborhood) would be worth the money?
It may not give you more time for yourself but it will give you the time normally spent cleaning as time with your children.
Remember only boring women have immaculate houses!
Hugs,
Eli

Unfortunately, that is a luxury not within our scope right now. Believe me, we’ve been wishing on this for awhile!
