catching up
/The girls went back to school this week. I really expected to jump right back into my pre-holidays rhythm-- It hasn't happened quite yet. I did manage a couple trips to the gym, attended two births (in one 24 hour period), taught my childbirth class, took down the outdoor Christmas lights (the indoor decorations came down 12/26 at 8am!), shuttled everyone to their lessons/sports, and enjoyed spending a little more one-on-one time with Ian.
But everything else has pretty much remained like this:
It's hard to keep up. If I step back even for a day (to catch babies at the birth center) things run amuck. I'm convinced that just the daily operations of running this house could constitute a full time job. Nevermind any of the emotional investments that go into mothering and being there for your family...
Also, my camera battery has been dead. It's an easy fix if your son hasn't run off somewhere with your charger. I haven't stopped long enough to search for it.
I'll find it, and be back to make up for lost time with:
a tasty granola recipe
a hair tutorial (only because so many of you have been asking)
5 days of lunches
an introduction to a new family member (*hint: he has four legs)
...and who knows what else will pop into my mind.
I hope you have time to catch up this weekend too. Breathe in and smile.
