This weather is turning Kaia and me into hermits. I don’t want to leave the house and when I do it feels like a mad dash to get into shelter. We ventured to Fernie the other day with some girlfriends and it was all good Kaia was so peaceful and sleepy but I just felt so rushed rushing from the car to the craft fair to the cafe...yeesh. And boy have I learned that every outing takes so much longer....well let me rephrase that everything is taking me so much longer to accomplish. It is no wonder that we get one full year off of work we need the time just to catch up on things. I am currently in the middle of washing my floors...I’ve only got as far as sweeping cause my baby girl woke up. So while I feed her it is time to catch up on the computer. Check my emails, write this note and make our Christmas cards. Thank goodness Kaia and my laptop both fit on my lap.
Erick’s volley ball team has made it to provincials which means off to Abbotsford at the beginning of December. Kaia and I have decided to tag along...so Kaia’s very first flight is going to be at two and a half months old. I’m excited.
Well I think my sleeping beauty is back to sleeping...time to take advantage and finish my chores....well I say chores but really the only thing that is motivating me is my increasing need to clean clean clean. Like I have always been easy going when it comes to cleaning but seriously...why do I have to clean or think about cleaning or stress over clutter. I don’t know how people that are naturally anal about cleaning cope with a daily routine of constantly cleaning while raising babies. When would you ever have time to enjoy and relax and do things for yourself? I would like to think that I have a happy balance. I have a mostly clean home, happy baby....and me time. I just hope that my new found anal cleaning tendencies do not get worse....ok stoke fire, wash floor, clean kitchen, finish washing cloth diapers......and I’m off.....ok maybe not...in the two minutes it took me to finish my last sentence little miss Kaia woke...guess its mobey wrap time...she'll have to learn to wash the floors early.
