What a WEEK!

As my official last day of vacation. Wow, it wasn't as bad as I thought. This whole week I took off because Phoenix had his tonsils out. He is doing great by the way. I thought it would be worse that he wouldn't be acting his normal self. But he did. Even though at night it has been really difficult. He won't sleep in his own bed but only on the couch for half the night and the other half in my bed. That combination doesn't make for great sleeping. I thought by the end of the week I would be pulling my hair out. Which hasn't happened yet. I have really enjoyed the time I have been with kids. Well them and all their friends. I love that I was able to let them play forever and not have to be mean by saying "it's time to go, Mom has to go to work." I was able to make dinner every night. Which I know sounds silly but that is something I rarely get to do. Well, wait I do make dinner every night but it seems so much more rushed when I come home at 8pm and we don't eat until 9pm. Other than give my house a good cleaning no other projects to report other than organizing my scrapbook tote. Right now since our basement is being finished all of my crafting projects are in disarray so now I have all my scrapbook supplies in one box believe it or not. I have realized though I have to much and don't know what to do with it all. I could seriously open my own scrapbooking supply store out in my neighborhood. The closest one is like 4 miles away. Hmm I should look into that. It has also been nice to talk to Mike in person than on the phone driving to and from work. You must think we don't see each other and your right we don't.
Other things that I have been able to do is hang out with my friends. I have some around here and I don't get to spend a lot of time because of my busy schedule but it has been nice to sit and chat while the kiddies play. I have tried to stay away from the shopping. I thought I would be itching to go everyday but seeing that my kids wanted to play all the time the chance to go to the store would slip away. Why am I not a stay at home mom?
As the week is winding down I notice the my fuse is a little shorter, the anxiety to back to work is starting to make me nervous. But it has been a great week to play catch-up even though I am running on little sleep.
