Right Here, Right Now

I’m usually a night-time poster.

But here I am on Tuesday morning with stuff in my head and my kids awake and I’m posting.

Little G is painting in water colors and baby K is scooting backwards across the floor, as she likes to do these days.

I just almost started to cry because I really need want coffee (yes, both those) and we have coffee but nothing REAL to put in it.

I scrounged and found some 7 month old creamer that my Mom brought with her when she came to stay when Baby K was born. It will HAVE to do. Sorry Star*bucks Cafe Verona, I know I insult you. But a SAHM’s gotta do what a SAHM’s gotta do.

Anywho, I’m also cleaning all kinds of nooks and cranies that I haven’t paid attention to since before my feet were swollen up like balloons in a while because there’s going to be a big party here this weekend and right now I’m acting all relaxed about it. For NOW. Come Friday, I’m gonna be a mess. Just so you know.

I plan to make something akin to these for Little G’s third birthday party (oh THREE, please be good to me this time…)

Tim is also planning some MAJOR barbeque (I’m talking HOURS of research and a new ‘smoker’ pit, Oh My) and it looks like the weather forecast is good to go for the outdoor water play I’m planning for the kids. So, it should be great party.

Now excuse me while I go finish my “to do” list and try not to stress TOO MUCH over a THREE year old’s birthday party.

P.S. That last part, not gonna happen.
