So most of you know that last August I took a new job at the local high school and one of the benefits of this job was that I would be off for the summer. My summer officially started last Friday (about 10 days ago).
Anyone who knew me growing up knew that I never thought I would be a stay at home mom. I often stated that I thought "I would lose my mind" but after I had Lizzie I thought I would like nothing more to have that opportunity and now I do since I am off for the summer.
I have officially been a "stay at home mom" for just over a week and I have to say full time stay at home moms deserve a lot of credit. Every day I wake up with the hope of getting so much done, and everyday I go to bed after not having accomplished hardly anything that I wanted to. For example I have been trying to wash our sheets for at least a week and I keep running out of time. I would also love to vacuum but I value a sleeping baby that much more I can deal with the dust bunnies.
In other news we are in the process of transitioning Lizzie from our bed to her crib. I love the cuddle time we have a night but I am ready to have my space back, especially since I am with her all day every day (and I wouldn't change if for the world.) We have only been at the for 2 nights and it is hard but I feel it is important so we will keep at it.
I am trying to get back into running. This baby weight is not going to come off by itself so I have decided to help it. So 3 mornings a week I pack Lizzie into the stroller and walk to Norwich where I do the couch to 5K program. I did this program before I got pregnant with her and had good success with it and am glad I am finally getting back into it.
We are getting ready to go on vacation in about 10 days and I have already started planning. Going on vacation used to be relatively simple for just Keith and I but now we have Lizzie and that add a whole new dimension of planning. Stay tuned for those details and for Keith's six month blog (she will be 6 months on Wednesday and I refuse to believe it).
