Houston we have a problem!

My new job means working late some evenings so that I can be home a little more during the day. That means Daddy is in charge. Today the kids ate dinner at 7:30... Houston we have a problem!!!

It isn't just Chris, it is me too. I can't seem to get laundry done or anything else for that matter. So Chris is taking on more of the household chores on Saturday morning while I'm working. To be honest we were never really good at getting things done around the house. Remember when he promised to do more of the meal making? Yeah that never took off and my check book balancing is still lacking. All the plants we bought this Summer are DEAD DEAD DEAD! Neither of us are domesticated :p

I think it is funny how I can make all these goals and still really only have time for the essentials (and even some of the essentials are falling by the wayside). So, back to the drawing board! Like our nanny said though, as long as we are making time for the kids and each other, everything else is secondary (Miriam is so wise).

PS: for those who have been sending well wishes and prayers for my niece, thank you. She is still in the hospital but we are hopeful she will be home soon.
