Some days are thoroughly exhausting. Like back aching, need to sit on the couch but still so much to do, exhausting. I'm a stay at home mom (that sounds better than unemployed, right?). With one kid. How do people do it with more than one? Or with a job?! I can't even imagine. What I can imagine is the multiple layers of filth that would coat the floors and the hairballs in the corners of the bathroom. The litterbox overflowing, a backyard filled with poop, dirty diapers sitting on the basement floor never quite making it all the way to the washing machine. Dirty dishes overflowing in the sink which would be curious because who would have time to cook? Dirty sheets and towels, clothes pulled from the dirty clothes hamper on a regular basis (instead of "just this once!"), trash cans spilling onto the floor, pets and baby eating cheerio dust and raisin grime from under the couch. I can imagine the smell. Those damn cats.
I guess the backache is worth it. Lucky me, my insurance covers 12 massages a year for $25 each. Time to take advantage, these 35 year old bones get to achin'!
Ikey's new lunchtime arrangement. Being a toddler doesn't allow much time for sitting, this way he gets some bites then he gets to keep moving. Breakfast and dinner he slows down enough to eat with us, mostly willingly.
Beeline for the puddle with his friend Eleanor
Slide! Definitely one of his favorite things right now.
Backyard, watermelon, Ikey sized chair, life is good.
Hello neighbors!!
This kid eats, sleeps, and dreams basketball. All day long. I feel certain that in his brain we could find a map marking every basketball hoop within a 15 block radius. (And yes, this is a game of air basketball. No ball and I still had to drag him off the court.)
Baller!!!
