Life... what happens when you're busy making plans

We've been planning to go into NYC to see the tree at Rockefeller center and some of the other holiday sights.  The kids love this and we've done it for the last couple years.  We didn't quite make it this weekend. 

First the rains moved in.  Apparently they are staying until Tuesday.  Then we were up all night Friday night with a sick LaLa.  We were up just about every 15-20 minutes with her all night long.  So we had so stick around the house on Saturday while she rested.  It seems like it was only a short bug lasting only the night.  Thank goodness!

Today we will be spending cleaning the house and doing laundry.  Oh what fun! 

Better luck next weekend!

Menu Plan Monday

Our loose plan for this week:

Neglected

Wow.  I can't believe it's been almost a full year since I've posted here.  I knew it had been a while and I kept telling myself I would post soon but how did I let a whole year get away from me?  Yikes.

There has been much going on in life, no reason not to write about it.  It was easier to veg out in front of the TV or play games on facebook whenever I had any down time.  I won't call it free time.  Free time would mean that I would actually be free to do what I wanted.  That doesn't happen here.  Two little girls seem to have a keen radar that let them know when Mama has sat down to take a minute to herself. 

I'm looking forward to getting back into the swing of things.
