It's very quiet in my house right now. Part of me loves the peacefulness and another part of me misses all the chaos that goes on when both kids are here playing. Matthew will be getting off the bus in a few hours and Brianna will be awake from her nap by then so the chaos will happen soon enough so I better suck it up and enjoy my quiet time. I have so many plans and things I want to accomplish every day during the few hours Brianna naps while the guys are in school and work. House cleaning is a must and being able to do it without any distractions or having a little one making more messes makes it easier. I'm also planning to reorganize almost every room in the house. Yard work is a must as well! I'd also love to put the finishing touches on Matthew's baby book and update Brianna's. I also have started an exercise routine every day during this time as well. And yes, blogging! Maybe I can find more time to sit here and write. It helps me to unwind and as I always say, it's a great outlet.
Matthew loves school. LOVES it! This morning he was at the door by 8am begging me to take him to the bus stop. The bus wasn't going to arrive for another 17 minutes so when I told him we had to wait he just whined and whined. He rushes onto the bus with a smile and waves to me as it takes off. He comes off the bus in the afternoon with the smile still on his face and a lot of stories to tell. A lot of parents tell me their kids don't want to talk about the day they had in school so I'm soaking up the fact that my son does. I know he pays attention too because he tells me things the teachers say about certain things. He's a smart boy and I know he will do well. Two days a week he goes to baseball practice. Sometimes I pause and think ... school ... baseball ... when did my baby boy grow up? It's bittersweet.
Brianna has been slowly adjusting to the new routine. Today seems to be going better but for the first few days she was very grumpy and always asking when the bus was coming. It was sweet this morning when he leaned down to kiss her before getting on the bus and she patted him on the head and said, "have good day Matthew, okay?" That moment melted my heart. I love my kids.
I love hearing that he is loving school! Micah is the same way, loves to tell me about his day and Amanda is the silent one so I soak up the little bit she does give me. I am sitting here in silence right now as M&J are sleeping and Mike took A with him....I better get a few things done :) Keep up the good work with excising and stick to those goals of a "room at at time" things will get done!
