Not enough hours in the day!

One would think that now that I am a stay-at-home mom, that I would have loads of free time. Ha! Between working on my masters, attending storytimes and playdates with Tucker, teaching children's church, substitute teaching, and working with Usborne our days seem to be jam packed. While looking at our calendar yesterday, I realized that in a week Matt and I are leaving for Boston. Upon returning, I have 2 weeks to finish things off for Tucker's birthday. People keep telling me to relax, and that he won't remember a thing about it. I WILL THOUGH! My OCD has kicked in a bit for this little celebration. I'm stressing about getting the invitations out, getting my house clean, and preparing some cute party decorations (no one sells cute monkey decorations).

Meanwhile Tucker has discovered many new things. He now tells me "gone" when his bottle is empty. He has learned to shake his head no and tell me "no, no" as well as pound on his high chair tray to demand a "nana". His favorite play place is the bottom of the sofa table where he adores playing with and throwing a picture of his cousins. I watch and wonder what happened to that layed back, quiet kid. He's so much fun though! His nap will be wrapping up soon, so enought for now.
