I think I may have already completed a post with the above title...... oh well, two times the charm. I'm back in Chicago, THANK GOD, after a 4-day trip to Charlotte. I was with my boss, which is exhausting. Compile that with being 12 weeks pregnant, I was ready for naptime every day at 3 PM.
I managed to bite off all the nails on my right hand this week. Awesome. I look like a trashball that is in desperate need of a mani/pedi. I guess I'll put that on my list of things to do tomorrow. For today however, I have tons of housework to catch up on. With me out of town, Chris has a heyday throwing dirty work clothes all over, dirty dishes tossed in the sink and ther clumpies in every corner of the house. I am "working from home" right now, which actually means alternating e-mails with loads of laundry and vacuuming.
Chris has been working on a built-in bookcase for the past few weeks, so the dust accumulation is ridiculous. I've surrendered the Endust until Chris' project is done. Honestly, it's killing me to not wipe the layer of gray off of everything.
Did I mention that Kasia pee-pee'd on our bed when I was away? Yeah. Freaking awesome. Instead of cleaning the soiled sheets, Chris threw them in a pile in the corner of our bedroom. Now, our room smells like pee. Sweet. I made an emergency stop at Yankee Candle for some scentervention. Fluffy Towels for the bedroom, Meyer Lemon for the kitchen. Disaster avoided.
I read my twin sister's blog today and it about made me cry. Any picture she posts of Greta as a newborn is so bittersweet. Such a tiny little stinker, Greta had the softest little baby bird hairs and the smallest little feet. Now, she is 21 pounds of beefcake smooshie. I wish I could give Greta shrinking serum and keep her at 8 months forever.
The Jennie Show is a daily dose of how I view the world; no sweatpant too tight, no puppy too cute and no subject off limits. 39 years of life experience has brought me my awesome husband, an unruly but very soft-earred dog, and two delicious children. I love being a mom, cooking, ready historical biographies, running, skiing, Christmas, sauvignon blanc, lawn chairs and cheesy yacht-rock-style music (most often heard in a dentist office).
