the first real work-morning getting out of the house is in the books and looked something like this:
3:00 - Will wakes up and wants to eat
3:20- Put Will down
4:00- Boo gets out of bed and pukes on the floor. Brian practically falls out of bed to move her onto the hardwood so it's easier to clean (gross, i know)
4:30- Will wakes up and is fussy...take him to the living room and put him in swing
5:00- still fussy...rock him (he just wanted his mama)
5:20- fall back asleep
6:00- alarm goes off, hair, makeup (this routine is going to need some fine tuning...the sock bun is going to make an appearance at least 3/5 days a week!)
6:30- change and feed Will, finish getting his bottles ready, finish packing his bag, get dressed
7:20- get Will and brian out the door, realize i need to just buy breakfast food to leave in my office-a bag of dry mini wheats will do
7:30- make it to school
breathe.
i'm going to be really upbeat and call this a win. we'll see if i feel the same way on friday.
this is as good as we could do for an official first day of school picture....
I hope you had a great first day back!
ReplyDeleteI wanted to ask you about the yarn you used for Will's blanket. I want to make my first afghan, and I want to use some soft and cozy yarn. Do you feel like that yarn was worth price? ( It's a little more than I usually spend at Michaels).
Thanks!
Hi Joni! The first day wasn't terrible...just busy.
ReplyDeleteI really like the yarn. It is super soft and was great to crochet with...but it is pretty pricey. I used 7 skeins and that blanket is probably 4'x4'? So, it could get expensive to make something bigger. But, you'll be using it for years. I also don't know about how it washes up. I know when Will lays on it with his slobbery hands, he winds up with fists full of fuzz, so I'm a little worried to wash it....but I read reviews that said washing was fine.
My grandma crocheted and always made her afghans from Red Heart brand. The one I have is really soft but that might just be because it's worn in.
seems like a total victory to me! you look great! will looks a little apprehensive about the new routine:)
