We’ve had a busy, busy weekend around
\n here. Friday night was Alan’s company’s holiday party at a
\n local fancy place. They had a private dining room and the wine
\n was flowing :) We had fun. The kids had fun at home with Emily
\n and didn’t give her too much trouble at bedtime. Eve apparently
\n went to bed easily and saved her rowdiness for me. Shortly
\n after I went to bed, Eve woke up and decided it was time to
\n play. WIDE AWAKE from 12am-4am or longer. We went downstairs,
\n had snacks, read stories, etc. I was soooo tired and ended up
\n putting her back in her room at 4:00am, still wide awake. She
\n must have fallen asleep at some point because she was out at
\n 6am when Lex woke up. Needless to say I was a cranky mommy on
\n Saturday! I’ve been kind of overwhelmed with the commitments
\n I’ve taken on this month and we spent a lot of last week
\n preparing for this weekend. A week like that is ok for me, but
\n rough on the kids, and therefore rough on me! Alan has been
\n having issues with datdec this week as well. So by Saturday,
\n with no sleep Friday night, we were all mess! Luckily Joyce and
\n Barney swooped in to save the day :) I went off to a Pampered
\n Chef party Saturday night (good sales and 3 new shows booked!)
\n and they helped Alan get the kids to bed. I think we all woke
\n up a little happier this morning, the day of our holiday party!
\n I was doing great all morning until the cancellation calls
\n started coming! Then I got a little bummed and nervous, but I
\n tried to remind myself that it will definitely be a fun holiday
\n party and it doesn’t matter if it’s a successful Pampered Chef
\n party or not. It ended up being a lot of fun and just the right
\n number of people for our house! We had lots of food, I did a
\n mini Pampered Chef demo (over the din of kids everywhere) and
\n then the kids decorated cookies. Eve enjoyed the sprinkles the
\n most and followed the “some for the cookie, some for me”
\n decorating philosophy. She had a very short nap today too, so
\n she was a very goofy girl all afternoon. Lex had a great nap
\n (for the 3rd day in a row!) and lasted well in to the evening,
\n playing hard and fast. <\/p>\n
I’m happy now
\n and glad the weekend is behind us. I have one more Pampered
\n Chef show next weekend and then I can ready myself for the
\n holidays! :) Busy, busy days. We’re definitely going to sneak
\n in some relaxing days here and there. For the benefit of me and
\n the kids!<\/p>\n
I have a bunch of pictures on
\n Joyce’s camera, but I haven’t been able to get them on to my
\n computer yet. So for now the text will have to suffice. I’ll
\n post pictures when I can.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
