Life at the Chicken Coop

2:16 PM, EST

And this little guy is crying upstairs in his crib, just going down for a nap.

This little girl is sitting next to me making slashing marks with a pen on some paper (and she has a poopy diaper I need to change). Poopy diaper number two of the day. Lucky me.

And Finn is wearing his underwear (of course) and concocting an airplane out of Q-tips and a blue piece of construction paper.

And me? I'm on the verge of insanity having spent the last three weeks single-parenting while Travis has studied and taken finals. And today he finished his last final. (And I just snapped at Lucy for knocking my elbow into the keyboard). It's just been one of those rough past several weeks and I'm going to soak up the help while Travis is home. I want to make some of these and go out and spend some time in rural Ohio versus Cleveland suburbia where I sometimes feel like a caged animal. (Not to make things worse, but I have been sick for the past couple of days and I have a really sore nostril for some odd reason!)

I hope you do something fun this weekend and have a great Mother's Day!
