On Wednesday, Luke organized a happy hour with his cousins so when I got home from work I realized I had about 1.5 hours of solitude before he would get home. Then I realized I didn’t have anything pressing to do, I could do whatever I wanted. This scenario never happens and I know it will happen even less when the boys get here. I decided to full advantage of my circumstances by taking a bath, reading a book I’ve been trying to finish since Christmas and enjoying the peace and quiet while I could. Zeus had other ideas:
Zeusy couldn’t fathom that I could come home from work and promptly ignore him for another hour. He needs pets and love and your undivided attention even if he’s sitting on your lap to play with Jak. Poor deprived Zeusy. The video looks like I am making him be obnoxious but I promise for the 10 minutes before the video he would take a lap around the house, run in the bathroom, bark at me and repeat. I regained the peace and quiet by giving him the cap to the shaving cream to chew on. I’m going to be a great parent – hey kid you’re bothering the crap out of me right now but I’m too lazy to discipline you so here’s something shiny to distract you while mom reevaluates her life decisions! When I showed the video to Luke he was proud of Zeus because he thought Zeus was trying to get me out of the bath because I was over cooking the twins. I can’t win with those two!
Not a whole lot else happened this week but we did receive some furniture we ordered for the nursery & play area. We have this big empty area in front of our fire place that we’ve been debating how to fill. Originally, we were going to make it a “sophisticated” seating area with leather club chairs and a bearskin rug or something really really cool like that but then I got knocked up and plans, of course, change. I noticed that from the kitchen I could see straight through to this area so I thought a nice rug, a window seat with storage for toys and a glider would make a nice play area where I can be in the kitchen and watch the boys at the same time. It will also be nice to be able to rock the boys in the living room and not always have to go to their room. That’s my thought process anyway. I’ll post some pictures of the progress – it’s so exciting that our house is coming together.
Luke and his dad are going to start working on the nursery this weekend and I am going to bake something delicious. Those are my only plans so I’m hoping a whole lot of nothing also takes place!
