So…

Did you miss me at all? Wonder where I was? Yeah, me too.

We got home safely from Colorado, but I’m having the hardest time getting my groove back. I’m not back in my normal routines, I’m not doing my normal activities, and I hate it! I’m not even working out, prompting me to think that maybe a weight loss diet pill isn’t such a bad idea after all…it would certainly take less time! Just kidding. Maybe. I think I left the normal “me” back in Colorado, and I’m left with a weird, disorganized, confused version of me.

We got back nearly a week ago and I still have not finished unpacking. In my own defense (I don’t know why I’m defending myself since I voluntarily admitted that), I only have Ava’s clothes left to put away and it’s taken me so long because I had to pack away everyone’s summer clothes so I could put their winter clothes from the suitcases into their drawers. Which takes a lot of time when I have little helpers undoing everything just as fast as I can do it.

As long as I’m making excuses, I should also tell you about the weather. It stinks. We’ve had clouds and rain every single day since we got home. I don’t mind a rainy day here and there. In fact, I like them. But a week of rain? Come on! It’s really starting to get me down.

I guess I can also blame Ava’s potty-training for my lack of routine, but I’m not complaining. I started getting serious about potty-training her a few days ago and she’s doing awesome!! She has 2-3 accidents a day, but it’s usually when she’s tired. And she has 12 pairs of underwear, which she takes full advantage of. She changes her panties at least every 5 minutes whether they need to be changed or not. At least she’s getting lots of practice at putting them on by herself!

And then there’s the teething. Always the teething. Here I thought Kelvin was just getting two teeth on the bottom, but when I took him for his 1-year checkup, his doctor noticed that he’s also getting two molars on the top and they’re almost through! If they come through before the bottom teeth, he will have 6 teeth on top and only 2 on the bottom!

But guess what!! The sun just poked its head through the clouds! It’s amazing what a little sunshine can do to brighten your mood, isn’t it? I guess it’s time to go get started on the laundry.
