Last week did not go as I planned. And I have a feeling that trying to "plan" anything for the next year or so will be a moot point. I write this as Rylie and Bryce are running around the house making more noise than you can imagine, and Brian has this crazed look in his face like he is about to check himself in to the mental institution. So I guess I better tap this post out quickly and give him some relief.
I thought last Sunday was going to be my catch up day. My parents were taking Rylie to Sea World so I thought I would have all this time to get stuff done. Nope. Not so much. I ended up having to take Bryce to urgent care because he was having a reaction to a couple bug bites he got like 4 days earlier. The doctor was surprised that it took so long for him to react to it, but he put him on antibiotics just in case it was an infection. The swelling went down and he seems to be fine in that respect. However, and just as I figured, it seems like he picked up some kind of funk at the urgent care office. He started getting sniffly during the week, and by Friday he had a fever. His fever lasted through yesterday, and he is fever free this morning. Yay! But the last two days haven't been fun. I forgot what it was like to have a fussy baby. I'd like to forget it again now, thank you very much.
So yeah, I'm behind. My late nights of blogging finally caught up with me last week and I just didn't have it in me to be on the computer late every night. I'm behind on my blog, and I need to catch up with my friends on your blogs. I have so much I want to write about. I have some fun reviews and giveaways to post too, as soon as I get some time to work on them.
And then there is real life. The piles of laundry are taking over. I have Bryce's birthday party to get all planned. I did manage to get the invites ready last night, so at least I can check one thing off my list! There is always something that needs to be done.
So my goal this week is to just get caught up...with life. Is that even possible? It has to be, or I will go nuts. I feel like I'm frazzled, and I just don't do well when I feel like that. So, my friends, bear with me. As far as this blog goes, I'm going to do what I can do when I can do it. And for now I hope you will all understand and will hang in there with me. Because right now the real life part of my to-do list has to come first. And speaking of which, there are two cute little kids that need some time in the sunshine and the pool. And then maybe, just maybe, I'll be lucky and have a couple hours of peace while they take good naps after we have some FUN!
I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend! I'm definitely looking forward to a great week this week!

The Things We Find Inside
Hey girl hand in there. The blog and friends will always be here when you need them. Right now you are needed for more important things.
I'm about to join back up with life as well. We have baseball tryouts AND soccer practice tomorrow, and soccer practice Tuesday as well.
Oh wait its not normal to fall behind on life? Sean and I were just having this conversation last week. I have decided I am going to start making weekly check lists. Lets see if this works!
Girl! I feel this way at times too and then I put my nose to the grindstone and I get myself mostly caught up only to fall behind again. It's a cycle, and I think I'm coming to terms with the fact that I can't manage it all gracefully. But, a good time out to prioritize always helps a little, oh and wine, wine makes it all better.
Do what you need to do sweetie. You know I'll still be around. I'm sure hoping I still have some followers and bloggy friends once this semester is over with. I'm already overwhelmed with everything and school hasn't even started yet!!! Hang in there! I'm glad Bryce is feeling better.
I swear we all feel the same way. I have said it before and I will say it again, there are just not enough hours in the day. I know I need to take some time every once in awhile to revamp my routine and get organized. Sounds like you do too..LOL! Listen, the laundry will be there tommorrow, spending time with the kiddles is more important! Don't worry, we will all be here when you get off the crazy train..LOL!
I'm late to the show here (so to say "I know the feeling!!" is an understatement!) but I just wanted to say that we're here whether you're posting daily or weekly or whenever you can find a spare second at the very end of the never ending to-do list. I know in the last 5 months I've learned that kids mean there will never again be enough hours in the day to get everything done! I'm totally rambling aimlessly here, but all I want to say is NO WORRIES! Hang in there! :o)
