Winding Up & Down

Wednesday was a work day, it didn't start well; usually I make my bed when I get up in the morning however yestereday I stripped the bed to throw the sheets in the wash. I let the boys bounce around on my bed only to hear Matt say "Moooommmmm, Cam knocked your lamp over." Upstairs I went only to find the stain glass lamp was fine but there is now a lovely hole in the wall. Sigh.

With only four more days left at work I'm winding down and trying to adjust my thinking to a different pace for the summer. I will be working from home a bit over the summer to finish up my last project which will end in September, it's difficult to stay motivated knowing that soon it will all be over and I'm almost regretting agreeing to finish up this project, however, I'm sure it's just the state of mind I'm in these days and I'll probably welcome the brain work over the summer. It's a great project, an outdoor garden party for 600 people with good food, great wine and music all for a good cause.

I will be at home full time starting the first week of June, the first thing on the agenda will be Matt's surgery on Tuesday to have new tubes put in his ears and he'll also have his adenoids cauterized. The tubes were wonderful for keeping the almost constant ear infections at bay, poor guy told me he felt like he had poison in his ears. Next, Cam and I will have a little project to work on, one that we started almost a year ago and will hopefully be wrapped up soon. One that will involve visiting the bathroom often, I saw a psychologist on t.v. a month ago and she suggested those who attempt potty training early usually finish much later and so we are one of those families that is finishing much later. It is a process that takes much patience something I clearly lack so I guess I have some things to work on as well. Funny how our children become our teachers.

I'm looking forward to the summer, despite these morbid posts, it's the in between time that frustrates me, trying to patiently finish things up so that I can look back and feel good about the good work that I did and itching to start a new project and sort out what that will look like.
