Patio nightmare, no safe place for the girls to play, trying to convert a crumbling concrete area to a place to entertain, trying to covert an uneven half grassy area to both a sustainable garden and safe play space for the girls. And trying not to break the bank doing so.

I hate reading about how other moms are exhausted but for some reason I need to document that I am.

Salt and Pepper

Abi asks, "Why is salt water yucky to drink?" I respond, "Because of the salt." She asks, "Is there pepper in there too?"

reading and such

Just was directed to contemporarypsychotherapy.org, not a bad site. I never read online, hurts my eyes, but am finding some strategies to make it work. Aquarium, school vacation week, never made it inside... spent $35 for parking to go to lunch in Boston.

Abi told me tonight "I am so lucky to give you hugs and kisses." She is the biggest challenge of my life and she is incredibly worth it. I knew I would have something difficult to deal with this time in my life I just didn't think she would be so small.

Gracefully

Am I too young to grow old gracefully? I feel age creeping up on me and it is showing and I am not ready for it. Time to travel.

Marathon Morning

Woke up at 7am, went for a 3 mile run, showered, cleaned up after the girl's breakfast, had an English Muffin and 1/2 cup of coffee, got both girls dressed, diaper changed, lunch made for Abi, dropped Abi off at school, brought Harper with me to do weekly grocery shopping (thank you Starbucks for putting yourself in our Stop n Shop), came home, unloaded the groceries, put Harper down for a nap, made 2 lasagnas, cleaned out under the sink and kitchen drawers where I found mice droppings (ewww!) and now I am sitting, email read, it's noon, feels like 6pm, and I have 6 more hours to go.
