This week Matt has been on the road. He left Sunday afternoon. Anticipated return home is Friday night. Meaning: I’ve been on my own this week. That in and of itself feels like it should be a success sometimes!
But moving onto this week’s successes…..
1. This week was super busy with lots of appointments. I can honestly say that to-date, we’ve been on time (or early) for every.single.one. We’ve met friends for coffee, had meetings, an ultrasound, a doctor appointment, speech therapy sessions and three gymnastics classes. Phew!
2. Despite Tuesday being our busiest day of the week – I managed to cook dinner at home. (Let’s not talk about the rest of the week. It’s been a week of eating on the go). But Tuesday was a success. I made Table for Two’s crockpot Beef and Broccoli. Quite good! The boys enjoyed it and it was the perfect amount for the three of us.
3. I seem to have mastered the nap time battles (at least for the moment). I’ve been allowing both boys to lay in mommy’s bed and watch one 30 minute TV show. Then Nathan heads off to his bed on his own accord and John sleeps in my bed. Sometimes I nap with John, sometimes I sneak out to get things accomplished around the house.
4. I’ve continued our quest to clean out the basement. Another two bags of trash and a giant pile of recycling at ready to depart the house on appropriate days. I also have a large bag of items to donate and a few items that I need to sell. Purging feels good!
So there you have it – a week of surviving on my own. Complete with appointments, activities, and a little bit of crock pot cooking.
