Figure It Out Weather!

Yesterday it was GORGEOUS!  And to top that off, Kevin got home early. Woohoo for being home by 4 o'clock!  Since we needed to take advantage of these two things, we took a nice family walk, hung up some pictures, and actually ate dinner at a decent time. 

Today, Mother Nature is being a complete spaze!  We have had snow, a thundersnow, a thunderstorm, rain, and now sleet.  I'm sure the roads are going to be a lovely disaster by the day's end.  I wanted to do some running around tonight to pick up stuff for Alessia's birthday party, but I might be postponing that until tomorrow or this weekend.

The party is fast approaching. I definitely don't want to go overboard, but you only get one first birthday.  Obviously, I'm not planning for Alessia's sake...it's all for the guests. Plus, I can't expect to win the "Mom of the Year" award if I don't throw an amazing birthday party.  Besides planning the party, I decided to FINALLY start putting together Alessia's first year scrapbook a few weeks ago.  I have spent every free minute I get putting the book together.  When she naps, when she goes to bed, when Kevin in home, I am scrapping.  And when she gets older, she better appreciate it! 

So, with that said, I cut this short because the scrapbook is not finished and the party is in 9 days.  Ciao for now!

What Should I Be Doing?

In a perfect world, I should be drinking a beer and eating pizza.  But, it just so happens, that I don't have any pizza and it's too late to make any and the beer that we have in our fridge expired in December (that just shows you how often we drink).

What I actually should be doing is planning Alessia's first birthday party, doing her one year scrapbook, cleaning something, unloading the dishwasher, or starting our taxes.  And that's just the beginning. I am exhausted though.  Kevin's been in Russia for a week now so it's been just Alessia and myself. Luckily, she has been an AMAZING sleeper lately (but I probably just jinxed myself).  We've gone down to one nap, but she's been sleeping 11-12 hours straight every night.  Most nights, I'm not too far behind her either.  I can barely keep my eyes open past nine-o'clock

Tonight, instead of doing what I should be doing, I'm going to just sit on the couch with my cup of tea, watch DVRed episodes of Chopped, and then go to bed early. The other stuff can wait.
