I really thought January would be a quiet month. I was very, very wrong. Both jobs have been busier than I expected and I've piled on extra this month with my work from home job, since I had to prepare tax documents and will now be starting year end journal entries....which haven't been done for the past three or four years. Busy, busy! School started last night, just one class this semester due to the almost impossible task of scheduling classes around two jobs and a three year old.
Did I say three year old? Yup, Ben turns three next week and I'm still in shock at how fast this has happened. But then when I think about the fact that Jake turned TWENTY last week I can't help but be overwhelmed at how fast time goes. TWENTY. Ugh.
Fortunately twenty year old children don't require elaborate birthday parties. In fact, this year Jake asked for a pie instead of a cake, so it was a very low key birthday. Phew. It gives me time to gear up for what I hope will be a pretty sweet "Jake and the Neverland Pirates" birthday for Ben next weekend. Spoiler: I'm planning on making a pirate ship birthday cake. Because I AM super mom....
Since I've only managed to steal a few minutes this morning to write, I'm going to have to keep this short. I will share a pretty hilarious Ben story though.
Last week Ben and I were leaving the house, I was going to work in Portland and he was off to daycare. As we were walking out the door he turned to me a said, "Mom! You forgot your work cape!" And I said, "My work cape?" "Yeah Mom, you're work cape." So I looked over at the counter and saw the apron I wear to waitress laying on the counter. "My apron?" "Yeah mom! You're work cape."
I had to giggle at that one....
