See I'm Social
After a week of barely making it out of the house with the kids, I counted on Saturday to get things done like, oh, grocery shopping. Then D had to work all day Saturday (on top of til 10 on Wednesday, midnight on Thursday, nine on Friday - I'm starting to see a pattern here) and that threw shopping then cooking for the huge brunch we were hosting on Sunday during naps out the window. So, when the kids were asleep and D was finally home at 7:00, I shopped, then cooked, then slept, then woke up early and cooked some more.
It was - wonderful. I had such a great time and there was plenty to eat and drink. I invited everyone that I wanted to see which included a few people I hadn't seen in years. It was hectic getting there and then of course we had to clean up, but I'm finding it much easier and less stressful, even with the extra work, to socialize here at our house compared to going somewhere else. It was just great - and the last load of dishes is in the dishwasher as I write.
As for daylight savings time, we're pretending that its nothing unusual to send the kids to bed an hour early and so far they're buying it. I hope tomorrow morning goes as well.
