Sunday

Posted on 07:52 by Unknown
Morning: Made popovers, played on the porch with K, took a nap with X.

Afternoon: K's first lesson did not go swimmingly. He spent most of the time sitting by the side of the pool.

The highlight of my day was going out to pick up the pizzas we ordered. BY MYSELF! I realized it was the first time I'd been out of the house without the kids in a week. I could go out by myself after the boys are in bed at night, but by then I'm tired and it's the only time I get to talk to JW. I met someone in the neighborhood who is between jobs and said she was interested in babysitting. Maybe I'll call and see if she can come once in a while during the day so I can get out on my own.

My other weekend activity was organizing my clothes. Pregnancy turned my usually organized closet into a mess, since my size kept changing. Now that I'm nursing and in the process of losing the baby weight while the weather is getting warmer, my closet is even more of a jumble. So I took everything out, along with the boxes in the attic, and sorted it all into piles. I ended up with a huge pile of clothes that are old and pilly and I never liked much anyway, and about eight pieces that I really liked and was glad to see again. Once I get back to my normal size, I need to go shopping more often to buy clothes that I actually feel good about wearing, instead of buying whatever fits and is work-appropriate. No more navy blue cardigans.
