So, I think this goes without saying, but I am falling behind in everything these days.
I am not sure if any of you noticed, but I just did. Our blog header is having major problems, I updated it and need to figure out how to make the picture smaller to fit...
I have a ton of pictures of Lynlee that need to be posted....sorry everyone, no pics today (i can't find my camera cord...ARRRHHHG!) And Lynlee is two months tomorrow! We really need to take pictures of her tomorrow!
I have a pile of half finished crafts piling up...
I have a ton of pics of my students' work to edit and put up on my art blog...
Do I need to mention laundry?
Oh yeah, and grocery shopping? My poor husband probably hasn't seen the fridge this empty since we moved in.
Grandma and Grandpa Smith are going to be in town this weekend to see the Carl Bloch exhibit at BYU (but everyone really knows they came to see Lynlee, right?) so that means I need to clean my house, at least a little :).
I am horrible at returning phone calls...especially from family, so if you have called me and even been gracious enough to leave me a message in the last 2 weeks, I am sorry! I love you anyway!
And I know this is sort of a stretch, but none of my clothes really fit...Now that I am two months postpartum, I feel that I should be exercising regularly and starting the journey back into my old body, but excuse me, when?
So why is this all happening, you may ask? (Actually you may not be asking but I am going to answer your un-asked question anyway.) I have gone back to work. It has been over two weeks now, and I am sure that everyone is wondering how I am still managing to function. Well, I think the list above might answer some of that. :) But the good news is, I love my job now just as much as I did before having a baby, so that has made it a little easier to come back. I love what I do, and consider myself extremely lucky to have a job that I sincerely enjoy.
Countdowns also help. After tomorrow, I have two weeks before spring break--which is a WHOLE WEEK! (sigh) and then only six more full weeks of school. Which, I just found out that the last week of school, there will be no specialty classes because there are so many other things going on--so five weeks of teaching for me. Wow. That is going to go by quickly...I hope.
Another thing that has helped a lot is that Lynlee has been "sleeping through the night" for almost 2 weeks now. She graciously decided to start the night of Day-light Savings and slept for almost 7 hours. She has slept as long as 9 hours at a time since then but usually averages about 7. I love her! Not just because she is a good sleeper, and a good eater and an over all content baby, but because she is mine! She makes this all worth it.

You know what? There will probably be a lot of jealous people reading this. Sleeping through the night at two months?!! But I think you deserve it. There's plenty of stuff on your plate WITHOUT sleep deprivation. Good luck!
What a rockstar?! Congrats (I think) on getting back into the thick of it.
I'm exhausted reading your post. Glad Lynlee is showing you some lovin' but letting you catch a few extra Zzz's too.
