The Real Housewife of GH

Yup.  That's me.  At least for this week.  It's Spring Break and I am spending the week being a SAHM.  This is the life, I tell ya.  Taking the kids to school and picking them up? Check.  Dinner eaten and cleaned up by 5:30? Check.  House picked up before dark?  Check.  Naps? Check and double check!  This housefrau thing is awesome!  How do I get all this done when I work?

 And we've been having so much fun!  In just 2 days, we have been very busy.  My sweet nephew stayed with us Sunday night and yesterday we had the best time playing with him.  I LOVE two year olds.  In fact, if I could just start with a two year old, I could totally do 3 kids.  Hardly any extra trouble at all!  Today, we spent the morning swimming at the Y.  My little fishies could swim all day.  Annnnnd, they took their first trip down the water slide!  Their first 30 or so trips, actually.  We knew they would love it, but they've always been too scared to try.  Luckily, Robbie was with us and he isn't afraid to bribe them.  When Ben resurfaced at the bottom of the slide he looked at me with a big smile and said, "Daddy said we could get ice cream if we went down the slide."  So we did.  Just so happens that today was free cone day at Ben & Jerry's.  Yummmm!  They were so nice and as soon as we finished our cones, they offered us another. As much as I wanted to take them up on it, I politely declined and we headed home for lunch.  Yeah, we ate dessert first.  We really know how to party it up for Spring Break. 

Tonight, we are watching movies that we checked out from the library and who knows what other wild and crazy things we have planned for this week.  Hanging out with friends?  Hopefully.  A trip to The Container Store and IKEA?  In the works.  More naps?  You bet your britches.

When this week is over, I will hopefully feel ready for 58 more days of my working mom life.  That's how long I have until my long awaited summer, when life gets really good.  I feel lucky that I really love my job and that it allows me so much time to be home with my kids.  This week, I am especially loving it.  Cause I love to take naps.
