Well, I among the holiday bustle I missed the obligatory "What I'm Thankful For" post. Oh well, maybe next year. We had several days of lots of family, food, and short baby naps. I'm ready for some sense of normalcy soon. After we got home last night and I got Gracie to bed I looked at my husband and said, "I've had enough familiy for one week." To which he said, "Me too, I think I just want to go hang out with some strangers for a few days." Don't get me wrong, we both love all of our quirky families, but we love to come home to just our little family of three.
On another note, I am so tired of being forgetful and losing things! It started on Friday when we were going to take some pictures and I could not find my battery charger for the new camera anywhere. Last time we had the same problem and it was found in the car of all places. Well, it is still lost.
After we sped home last night for Jeremy to watch the bedlam game we got out of the car and I realized I had forgotten the diaper bag at my mom's house (25 minutes away). I was much too tired to go back for it last night and there was no point in asking Jeremy to leave the game to get it.
We had a fun lunch with friends after church today at Las Fuentes and Jeremy was putting Gracie in the car for me so I laid his wallet on top of the car for him to get when he got out of the backseat. We drove separate so I took off of the parking lot and our friend was behind me and I thought he was just driving stupid when I saw him pull into a parking lot. It looked like something had flown out of the back of his truck and then I got further down the road and it hit me that Jeremy must not have picked up his wallet and that must have been it flapping in the wind. I had to wait until I got home to call him (because my wallet and cell were still in the other diaper bag at Mom's house) and sure enough he was standing in the middle of Hwy. 69 trying to pick up the pieces of his wallet that he had just ran over with his truck. Oh my, what a week!
I feel like George-"SERENITY NOW!"

Being a still relatively new mom is your condition. When I had my third child I started thinking that I was going crazy. I would put her in the car to go get my older daughter from school and come home to find the front door standing wide open! Or, running in to pay for something at a convenience store, leaving my 12 yr old and baby in the car, getting out and realizing that the car was still in drive! Things will get better. I have a sister who refers to "baby bird syndrome". It's when you just need to be away from so many people and so much activity. It's kind of a family joke for us now.
Totally - The other day I was trying to get the girls in the car to meet a friend of mine at the mall. I had to go back inside like 5 times to get all the things I had forgotten (after the girls were all snug in their car seats of course). I thought I had remembered everything until I got home, opened the garage door, and my door to the garage was wide open. I guess during all those trips back insdie, I didnt feel the need to shut it one last time. Jeepers!
SERENITY NOW! I love it! Haha - too funny. I know what you mean about coming home to your own little family. It's so calm and serene. So fun running into you yesterday! We were with my inlaws...they love Las Fuentes.
