Catching Up

It has been many days since I have been on the blog, facebook, or even email. Nik was away this past weekend and so I was a single parent for 3 days. I was responsible for Jaxen's every. single. need. for. 3. days. (maybe I'm being a little dramatic).

With Jaxen's new late bedtime, and early mornings - it was a bit tough. Thankfully, I did have (and am grateful for) some help from my neighbor, Kris, who watched Jaxen while I did a service project on Saturday. I also had a long-time friend (Bob) come into town this weekend. It was so good to see him and catch up....but you know how it goes...when I would have been napping, I was awake and hanging out with Bob.

So now I am tired. But I am excited for the week ahead - We will get to see both of our familes this week! I just have to finish packing...

I am now going to play catch up:

• Jaxen now sits in his highchair, playing with spoons. It's pretty cute. One day I will put food with it!

• I lost my voice on Saturday. It is finally returning some-what normal today.

• I have obviously put my plant and Jaxen too close together. I'm not sure if Jaxen has digested plant yet. Maybe...maybe not.

• I have decorated for Christmas. I normally do not do this until after Thanksgiving. However - we have company right after Thanksgiving and a very busy December. So I did it early. 

• Nik went to a conference this past weekend and came home with t-shirts (for the masses). Seriously. I'm not even being dramatic here. After I put away the few t-shirts he gave me, I counted my t-shirts. 40. 40 clean, folded t-shirts. I'm not sure how many are dirty. Don't you think that is a bit much? It probably is, especially considering I wear the same 10 all the time. Time to venture out. I did have the thought that I would not wash any t-shirts until we wear them all. Then I would wash them....I'll let you know how that goes!

• Speaking of laundry, Jaxen helped me fold (or unfold) it this weekend.

• Work is seriously busy this week. This time of year, actually. I am enjoying it...but sometimes it is a struggle getting everything accomplished on a part-time work week. Speaking of work, I had my 3-month evaluation for being part-time. And I still have a job! I received a very good review and my work will allow me to keep my part-time status!

That's all for now...
