The Cleaning Lady...

Anyone who knows me knows how much I hate to clean. HATE it. I have a couple of friends who actually enjoy cleaning, and I wish I had their knack for organization, and motivation. But I don't, and I don't think I ever will. I have come to terms with that. Sometimes I wish my husband loved to clean so it would get done happily... but nope. He hates to clean too. I've seen him sweep one time since we got married almost 3 years ago. And vacuum once too. But I can't hop on the "blame my husband" train because he works 12 hour days and the last last LAST thing he should be worried about is coming home and cleaning. That is just how I feel, personally. But it still stinks and I hate it. But it has to get done.
So I made a handy dandy schedule.

I am hoping this is helpful. It's basically a "things that need to get done during nap time" schedule. And it all really rests on what mood Luke is in while Anthony sleeps. I am glad that Anthony actually has a predictable 2 hour nap during the day though. It is just hard not to relax during those 2 hours. It will be even harder once Project Runway starts up again...

Spring is Finally Here!

Finally! I feel like Spring has finally come to stay. My allergies are killing me, and my skin is reacting to sunlight in true Jess fashion. I'm pretty sure I have solar urticaria. WebMD told me so, so it must be legit. Seriously though, I do have all the symptoms and it seems to be getting worse with age. It's kind of awful but the fresh air is so nice, I can't stand to stay inside. I likely am going to have to get some sun protective clothing. If I was worried about being cool before, wearing a long-sleeve swimsuit really will seal my fate as a very, uncool mom. hahaha! Last week was so nice out that we took the whole week off from school and focused on enjoying the weather and preparing for Easter. The homeschooling community likes to say that instead of taking off for snow-days, we take off for sun-days. I do love that flexibility. Today, we started back up with school again but the boys still spent most of the day outside in the fresh city air, and our day was pre...

Old Beginnings

Well, I fought the urge to create a completely new blog and decided to update this trusty old dumping ground of musings and stories. I am not sure what this will end up being, if anything at all other than a fun website to look back on in a few years, before websites become obsolete altogether. The truth is, I really enjoy hearing the sound of my fingers tapping away at the computer keys. It makes me feel like I am doing something productive, even though I am not. Here I sit, at 11:40pm on a Tuesday night and I wonder what exactly tomorrow will bring. It's strange to be able to predict with almost complete accuracy the grand scheme of the day, but also not know what quirks lie ahead. For instance today, I knew that the kids would be going outside to play. I did not know that before bed my 4 year old would claim to have broken his leg while outside and beg me to carry him up the stairs to his room (which I did). I did know that we would start a n...

Autumn fun!

Last week, to celebrate the official start of Autumn we took a little nature walk at a nearby park. I just love this park because there is so much space, that I don't worry about the kids running too far ahead of me. My little Luke especially loves that I am not constantly asking him to 'wait' or 'come back'. He is ever the explorer. Our mission was to observe nature in the beginning of Autumn, and collect things we find on the ground. We had a really fun time exploring. Anthony spotted some lilypads, but to his mild disappointment, no frogs. We saw a squirrel in a tree making a really weird noise that I had no idea squirrels were even capable of making. We came to the conclusion that he may have been sick, or singing us a song. Lukie made friends with a couple of ducks. We observed the very dark gray skies, and predicted that it would begin raining some...
