It’s been a busy few

It’s been a busy few weeks. Tomorrow will be the start of week 3 at my new job, and Caleb’s day 2 at daycare. And in 6 days Caleb turns 1 yr old! Looking back over my last two weeks, and comparing them to these two weeks last year, the differences are amazing! Last year I was on bedrest so needless to say I wasnt doing much at all but bossing Dean around. Now I am bossing Dean around but turning around and doing most of the work myself because I am so impatient.

In the last week I have gotten the house more clean and organized then it’s been since we moved in. I think the reason is because I know we will have not only house guests next week, but several people coming to Calebs birthday bash have never seen our new house. I also think it has a lot to do with feeling like I dont do enough at home now that I am working, but I know Dean thinks I am doing too much. Right now I should be doing a zillion other things but I need a break.

In the last week I have reorganized our junk room which houses all the stuff thats still in boxes that we dont use or cant remember to look for or find! I also cleaned out our bedroom closet and bought a cool hamper from Ikea to store my shoes in, since I have sooo many! Today I cleaned up Calebs room and started sanding a nightstand that I am hoping to paint this week to put in his room. We got this organizing bin thingy from walmart for the living room to house diapers, wipes, and toys so that Caleb’ s play pen could be put away, not to mention the fact the disorganization in there was driving me mad! We finally hung up family photos in the hall and living room, and yesterday went to get Caleb’s birthday pics taken so have more pics to hang now. I bought new rugs today for the kitchen and bathrooms, I was so happy about that. Dean didnt see the need, but we were using rugs that my mom had given us, they were her old ones and in decent shape, but I just wanted to pick some out myself. Point is, the house has gotten a lot more organized lately and hopefully more will get done before the big birthday bash next week, but after tonight I know my time will be limited. As my energy already is.

We got rid of our new puppy, gave him back to the person who gave him to us. Poor Caleb had tons of scratches and bruises from the dog and he hasnt seemed to notice that the dog is gone, or if he has, he doesnt mind it! The stress level in the house is a lot better since we took him back Friday, its almost amazing the difference in living w/ a dog and not. I loved the pup and he will be missed, but then again maybe not so much.

Well lots of party planning to do and house work, and hopefully some much needed sleep too. I probably will be too busy this week to post but be prepared for party pics sometime next Sunday or Monday. Ah, my little boy is growing up so fast.
