A Welcomed Slow-Down

I have to say that when we woke up to a winter wonderland yesterday I was more than excited for lots of reasons. One, I knew Dave would be home for the day, two, I knew we were stuck at home and I would be able to catch up from the previous week and three, of course we'd have lots of fun outside in the snow!!

Last week consisted of:

• 3 mystery shops
• 5 appointments (dentist, doctors, speech)
• 1 school tour
• MOPS meeting where I had to do a quick money saving presentation
• Planning of a triplet baby shower
• Hosting the said shower on Sunday afternoon
• WEE school
• 3 hours of tutoring
• 1 Music class for Preston
• A very whinny, sick pre-schooler
• A teething toddler (needing to be rocked EVERY night at various times)
• MOPS planning meeting
• Un-decorating the house
• Plus the regular cooking, cleaning, errands, exercise, etc
• Oh, did I mention it was month end for Dave???

So, I had been looking forward to the beginning of this week for quite some time. I have to say Monday did not disappoint! It was such a relaxing day and a real treat to be able to accomplish so much! We had a blast playing out in the snow with all of the neighborhood kids who migrated to our driveway (the steepest in the neighborhood) and then enjoyed a long, quiet afternoon as both kids slept until after 5pm! Dave and I had time for lots of games of cards and each had time to do a few things we needed to accomplish too.

I really didn't even mind that there was no school today since I'm still plugging away at the to-do list . . . it's a good thing too because our driveway is now a solid sheet of ice!
