I’ve been neglectful with this blog. Truth is, I am swamped. Jack started first grade on the 15th and things are going well, but between school, soccer, house stuff, and the never-ending errands that need to be ran, I am tired by the end of the day. Not so much physically, but mentally. It doesn’t help that Callen has stopped taking naps, so I am no longer able to take my hour long “lunch break”. I really need some mental down time during the day to carry me over until after the boys are asleep. I’d like to interact with my husband after bedtime, but lately my brain is struggling to put full sentences together. Once I get used to the routine, it will get easier I’m sure but to go from summer break to full back-to-school mode is a challenge. Callen starts preschool on Tuesday too and although that means more running around, it also means potential down time for me (meaning doing anything without constant interruption). Anyway, despite the fact that I haven’t posted much lately, things continue to be interesting around here. My 3½ year old said, “I hate my life” when I told him he had to start his morning chores the other day, my 6 year old continues to use the excuse “my brain told me too” whenever he gets caught doing something he shouldn’t, and just today my little guy pooped on our backyard patio. One minute, I looked outside and saw him “digging for treasures”, and the next his shovel was in the dirt and he was gone. I went to the sliding door and there he was, standing upright, his pants and Scooby Doo underwear around his ankles, pooping. This was not the first time either. I went outside to bust him and of course, I stepped in some of his…um…unpleasantness. Yuck! Oh the joys of parenthood…
