Always behind
Story of my life these days - I have NEVER been SO behind on SO many things IN MY ENTIRE LIFE! I just cant seem to get anything done in a timely manner these days. I have a To Do list a mile long that I can never make any kind of dent in. This is just such a new feeling for me. I was wondering the other day WHY in the world I cant keep up anymore I realized right away that I have never had 2 little ones at the same time before! Ben was almost 13 before Lindsey came along, then we had just one little one for 2 1/2 years before Allison came home. It doesnt help that Im homeschooling Ben in his senior year which brings a lot of work and stress, Lindsey has a difficult personality (dont let that sweet face fool you! LOL) and Allison has delays (which I dont really want to discuss here, mostly for her privacy, but she has a major speech delay as well as a few other minor things). So I have just resigned myself to feeling disorganized, my house being a mess, and some things just not getting done, for a few more years yet.
A week ago today, October 30, was our one year anniversary of Gotcha Day for Allison. We did nothing to mark the day, other than to acknowledge that it was one year since Gotcha, and I looked at the pictures from that day in China. Unfortunately we didnt get many pictures on that day in China, none of the actual Gotcha moment, because my sister mostly took video (at my request) instead of pictures. But here is one of us that day. We were so shell shocked, things felt so different than they did when we got Lindsey.
For Halloween, Allison stayed home with me (she has no clue what the day was all about) and Jay took Lindsey out trick or treating. She went as a pink leopard. I didnt get very good pictures (story of my life again) but heres one:
(I really dont care for Halloween to tell you the truth. Lindsey had a blast and it was cute...
