Ah! Sunday off!

Just taking a little break from the cleaning and taking care of the kids and husband to write a small something about my return to working outside the home.

Well for the last two weeks I've been running around like a chicken with it's head cut off! I was all ready the first Monday with what would be dinner and the lunches and all the rest that needed to be done had been done. But came Wednesday and I saw that I was in over my head with, lunches, dinner and the keeping the house presentable. And to think that I had my family coming down for my Z's first b-day on that first Saturday!!! What was I thinking?! No but really, don't I have enough on my plate without adding b-day parties? Well, it was good, we all had fun and Z really liked her gifts and having Grand-dad and Grand-mam there, she had not seen them in two months and we could see that she missed them. Not to say that A didn't enjoy having the family there, he was good, a real good big brother. He help Z open her gifts and let her have her time with the toys before taking them and having a go. He even helped me with dinner! I had planned to do a buffet style reception, but I ended up doing my usual couscous, so to be sure that it would be good and I would have enough for everyone and since I do it often I can do it my eye closed! And plus, it's really cheap to do!

That done, you would think that my second week at work would go well and that I would have had everything done. But noooooo! I had not thought of the lunches and dinners for the second week and so I found myself stressing at 2PM what I would do for dinner that night once I got the kids from daycare and if I would have enough leftovers for 3 lunches! (because my daughter is to young to eat the same thing as the other at daycare, so says my daycare worker), I had not done any laundry so my husband found himself without underwear around Wednesday and I without any clean tops or pants, since my clothes consist of mostly at home, not for public viewing type clothes! (oh! I went shopping today and got 4 tops, but couldn't find any bra that fit! that's an other story in it's self thank you!)

So now, the laundry is done and I've cooked dinner for tonight (they're actually waiting on me now to eat it) and there will be enough for tomorrow's lunches and I've planned the next 3 night's dinners, so no stressing for me or at least less stress. I only have left to clean the kids, myself and the dishes, damn dishes!

I'll try once again to write something for this Wednesday's cooking post, but I might not have any pictures again!
