a wasted 1/2 week?

Its been a bummer kinda week.  My stomach has been off.  I love May.  Its the start of the best time of the year.  But I was just able to 'get through' Monday and Tuesday and didn't eat a thing til I had some rice at dinner on Tues.  (And I like to eat so that's no easy feat for me!)  I was so bummed to feel like I was "wasting" two days.  Today was my recovery day.  I felt better but I was overwhelmed with all I hadn't done for two days.  And the start of today... my little man is very fascinated (I'm assuming) with the liberties that come with a "hose", so he thought it would be interesting to empty his on the floor this morning at 6am (after Mike had already left for work).  He aimed it at Lily's skirt that was on the floor in the upstairs hall.  That didn't start our day well or help my attitude that was already lacking after the past two days.  I lounged around this afternoon but then finally got over myself this eve.  The kids did play doh while I tried to quick, do a few things to win back ground in our house.  And that did, by the grace of God, make up for lost time in my mind.

Peter was quite pleased with his diamond making skills!  He made about 15 at last count.

 Of course, he wanted to make funny faces when he saw I had the camera.

 And two sweet pics from our drive home from the river.  Working on the mini coloring sheets that Maw gave them.  Its still not old to see Peter enjoy fine motor activities.

Here's to making the most of the rest of the week!

Kathy is getting the kids tomorrow afternoon so I can get a haircut.  That's sure to help!... its nice to be able to be more fully with them after a little break.  :)
