This Week

Monday

St. Patrick's Day!! Woot Woot! I have some Irish blood in me so celebrating is both mandatory and legitimate. However, when one gives up alcohol for Lent... and has two kids... celebrating is pretty laid back compared to some. Nate also went to a big ol' Irish dinner with my brother and Dad, so that left me folding clothes and hanging out with my mom. I know... you are all about to invite me to your next party.

Tuesday

Just your usual day getting donuts... Damian got to watch them being made (he has new career aspirations now) and got a free hat. Clare was just confused as to why she didn't get one.

We also took Tibs to get groomed so he could see again. You would have thought he had been gone for a year with how excited Damian was to see him again.

Oh and I bought Clare (ok and me) her first Disney princess movie. And Nate and I watched it without her... And I've had this song stuck in my head since.

Wednesday

Wednesday was "nanny day" or the day that Damian spends with my mom. I got to enjoy the leisures of having only one child who can neither talk nor walk. It's amazing how much faster I can get errands done. #thingsIneverthoughtI'dsay 

Thursday

We spent a ton of time outside enjoying the wonderful weather. I took them on a jog in efforts to get ready for the Cooper River Bridge Run in 2 weeks... I'm less worried about the bridge and more worried about leaving Clare who still refuses to take a bottle, but she will survive. Anyway... We also ran to a coffee shop because I was needing a little extra motivation to get my butt out the door. Damian sang "going to the coffee shop" for a majority of the ride. After the run, I had a boost of energy and got almost all of our second vegetable garden planted. We topped off the night with some friends over for dinner, saving me from another night of solo parenting thanks to Nate being at a conference for work. 

Friday

Weeellll Friday started at 12:06 am with Damian waking up for some reason, me putting him back to bed, not being able to fall asleep until 1 when he woke up again (this kid sleeps like a rock so who knows what was up with that,) and then, of course, at 2 am Clare was ready to go. Sooo much for getting a bunch of sleep alone in my bed. In other words, I was chugging coffee this morning like the true addict that I am. And since Nate wasn't around this morning I was feeling especially deprived of adult interaction making the visit from the plumber more exciting than it should've been. I can only imagine that he was a little concerned by my sudden interest in how our house's water shutoff works. 

Today proceeded to be the slowest day ever, and at 3 pm I couldn't take it anymore. We piled in the car to go find a park. Clare got her first go at the swings, and Damian chased birds around an open field. Success. Which caused a car nap, which led to a car nap transfer to his bed, which means pigs are flying and there's a blizzard in hell. I had to go upstairs to wake him up for dinner and he asked for a bit longer. Is he a teenager already and I just missed it? Nate's currently working on getting him to sleep for the night, sooooooo here's to hoping that actually happens.

Happy Weekend!!!
