At the beach

August 8th, 2011

The sun has finally come out, so we have been at the beach as much as we can. If not the beach, then the park or some other sunny location.

I have been working on a few more embroidery projects, inspired by some new craft books I picked up, which I will share with you soon. I took a little break this weekend when I tried to be epic mama and wife. Ryan had his wisdom teeth removed–all four of them on Friday. I had a great plan, which involved running myself ragged on Thursday getting the house cleaned and dinners prepared for four days so there would not be much housework to be done and I could focus on taking care of the boys. Uly woke up Friday morning with a fever of 104 and very fussy and clingy and the surgery ran over an hour long, which meant I did not get a “nap” break on Friday and made a slew of a mess preparing a variety of foods all of which the child would not eat. Repeat Saturday and Sunday, only Sunday Ulysses would not nap and for whatever reason I find this the most stressful thing I have ever encountered. We were all quite a state last night. I only feel slightly recovered today, but the sun and warmth outside sure help. I think I might lie down for a minute too. What are you up to this summer?
