I’ve determined that I need Rosie.

Remember her? The maid from the Jetson’s.  Yep, that’s what I need…a Rosie.  Or at least an extra pair of hands…one to hold the baby while the other pair is chasing after the boys, cleaning the house, etc.

Derek goes back to work tomorrow.  I’m so sad about that.  Two weeks is a long time to have him home…I know he’s sad to go back too.  We’ve gotten accustomed to having him around full-time.  Tomorrow will be interesting. 🙂  Thankfully, Derek’s mom is flying in to help.

I got a call yesterday about a PTA assignment that I have been putting off for months…yep, it’s time to get back in the action, I’m afraid.  I’ve enjoyed the "time off" a little too much. 

Samuel’s umbilical cord fell off today…I’m always a little sad to see that go (crazy mom thing, I think).

I have two favorite quotes from the last 2 weeks that I don’t want to forget.

Caleb: "I can’t believe we get to keep him!"

Jacob: "I love our baby more than anything in the whole world, Mom."

Derek and I watched the 10 o’clock news last night and there was no mention of any wintry precip. in our area…only south of here.  So when I was up at 3 am and 6 am I didn’t bother looking out the window.  And when D. got up to get Jacob ready for school, he didn’t bother looking out the window.  So they get in the car, open the garage door and back out in to the driveway and find the streets empty because of ice and snow!  Derek fish-tailed to the school and found it deserted!  I was asleep in bed…woke up at 9 am thinking that Derek was late to Caleb’s parent/teacher conference.  That’s when he told me to look out the window.  We’re usually so on the ball when it comes to wintry weather…usually out of excitement.  But it cracks me up that we were clueless this morning.  Such is life right now with a new baby.  We’ve enjoyed a nice quiet day, free from the booked schedule we had planned. 

Baby woke up…time to go feed!
