A Week in Mommyland (Week 5)

Where did that week go? It was an interesting week with Bill gone Monday, Tuesday, Saturday and Sunday. Never a dull moment here in Mommyland.

Monday.

Thanks to a virtually non existent wintery mix, Cameron had a snow day. By the time Monday morning rolled around I had already been a single parent for two days. I love my kids with all my heart but man do they know how to drive me insane. They were awful on Sunday so I was already on edge when the school district called.

I decided to make lemons into lemonade. The boys and I made homemade play-doh and had a blast playing with it.

Tuesday.

I went in the pantry to grab a new roll of paper towels and that is when I learned I have a closet candy eater in my house. No one has confessed but I’m pretty sure it happened while I was at work and Bill was in charge.

Wednesday.

The Hill seems to be a magnet for black cats. When we moved in we had all kinds of strays that we’d see cruising through the yard, calicos, tabbies, all different colors.

Now the only cats we see in the yard are black cats. The littlest one (closest to the window) adopted us about a year ago and I only feed her. She’s the only one Nittany doesn’t attack the back door and growl at.

On Wednesday afternoon two of the three that frequent the yard came by for a visit.

Thursday.

So far 2013 has been the year of interesting weather. Isn’t there normal weather anymore. We had a wintery mix earlier in the week and then we had torrential downpours and high winds.

What used to be the parking lot of the Brandywine Picnic Park was completely underwater and the road just a few hundred feet in front of where this was taken was closed.

Friday.

Logan and I had to pick up a pizza at Costco after yoga and we took a little longer than expected. It was just about lunchtime so we had a date at Chick-fil-a. Clearly he was not enjoying himself. Although from the ring of ketchup around his mouth it looks like he enjoyed his chicken nuggets.

Saturday.

There seems to be a reoccurring theme here in Mommyland. My cat is always cold. Look at her, she has plenty of insulation yet she is always sitting on or in front of vents or cuddled next to me on the couch. What do you think, is my house too cold?

Sunday.

OK, I’m probably going to turn into pizza. Pizza Friday AND Pizza Sunday. With everything I’ve been trying to do to get ready to head out of town I needed something fast that I knew the kids would eat. Costco pizza it is.

What fun adventures did you have this week?
