2015 - Week 3

Well, here we are, into the middle of January already. I have to be honest here. I’ve been worse at blogging than ever before, and I’ve fallen so behind that I honestly have no idea what we’ve had going on. Being mid-January, likely not much. School, daycare and work have been going well for all, no big issues or tragedies, just pretty much life as usual. I can say, there is a new obsession in our house….Maleficent. We’ve been watching it pretty much daily. We first watched it over this past weekend and when it started, I got a little worried that it wasn’t appropriate for the girls…it was a little dark, a little scary quite frankly, but the girls loved it. I of course turned to facebook for opinions and everybody that had seen it seemed to agree that their kids loved it as well. So, I don’t feel quite at guilty. Christian hasn’t been feeling too hot this week, kind of sick to his stomach, so we pretty much spent the week hoping it wasn’t going to hit all of us again.

My Throwback Photo this year was of Olivia, 5 years ago. Such a cutie!

Friday is what things really picked up for me at work. Friday I had to facilitate a series of consultant interviews for a project I’m working on. I’ve been at my job for going on 14 years and this is the first time I’ve had to do this. I’m not a people person at all, so I was extremely nervous about this. Everything went pretty well, and honestly I’m pretty good at faking the people-person thing, but I was totally overwhelmed and intimidated by the whole thing. It basically took up my entire day, AND I ended up stuck there late, so I was pretty happy when it was over. I called my mom as I left work to find out Eliza was having a pretty rough day. She watched her at her place today because with Christian’s recent illness, I didn’t want to risk exposing my mom to anything if we didn’t have to, so I swung by on my way home and picked her up. We picked the big girls up at daycare and made our way home. Eliza was a crabby mess all night, and it made for a very long evening. Followed by a VERY long night, where I barely got a wink of sleep. No fun!

Saturday was a pretty quiet day at home. Christian was off to work for the day, and Eliza just plain miserable. Her eyes were watering like faucets, she was sneezing and coughing like crazy. Poor thing, it’s just so heartbreaking when they’re sick! The big girls were pretty good for me…they played in their room for a while, they watched some movies…got along pretty well. I think I would’ve gone nuts if they were their usual crazy selves. It’s just too bad because the weather is actually really beautiful this weekend…it would have been PERFECT for some sledding and playing outside, I was pretty bummed. But, alas, the rest of Saturday and all day Sunday were pretty quiet and low key. A little cleaning, a little laundry and a lot of relaxing and cuddling. Sure hope little Eliza feels better soon!

Pure baby misery.

May be exhausting, but I love snuggling this baby to sleep.

Until Next Week! XOXO
