- the dog is eliminating on the carpet (yuck!!!), a feature which is not being helped by our lovely fire-work-loving neighbors
- we ran out of milk. I don't think that has ever happened before!
- the power went out
- Thing One is having a very difficult time separating... at church on Sunday it took two of us to pry him off me when I brought him to his room. When I returned he said "I was sad because daddy left and then you left." Sorry buddy.....
- I couldn't figure out why the dishes were piling up... until I realized my dishwasher was on a mission trip and I was going to have to fill in for the week
- the lawn is going to seed
- I feel completely scattered because we've been too busy
- went through a complete snafu at work involving a mother who was possibly lying to get services for her child, a forgotten $300 assessment kit I left outside an apartment complex, completing an evaluation that we weren't supposed to do, and way too many phone calls in Spanish to locate said family in the first place
- spending 15 minutes I didn't have prying off the thermostat cover to turn on the A/C. 80 degrees inside at 7:30 am is not going anywhere good....
On the other hand, there have been a handful of lighter moments to remind me to slow down, enjoy life and take care of the priorities:
- Thing Two (22 months now!) talking motherese to her baby doll
- swimming with friends and family three days this week!
- an unexpected phone call from a friend, just checking in since she knew I was solo this week
- extra time with my parents
- Watching the wheels in Thing One's head as he learns about Jesus: "Zoie can gwow up and be n angel instead... instead of a lady."
"Was I born? Was I born in a manger????" - and our first attempt at pigtails
