Today was tough. Wake up call at 3:30 am when Maeve couldn't make it to the potty, so she peed on the stairs. Somehow she managed to pick the exact spot needed to make sure that the pee trickled down three flights of stairs, requiring a lot of clorox wipes. Particularly for a bleery eyed mom. Finn was up at 5 ready to take on the day. I was not. Then Maeve awoke later with a fever and pretty much felt terrible. By the time I was ready for work at 7:30 I felt like I had already put in a full day. Then Maeve threw up on me. and the couch. Awesome.
So, while I was at work worrying about my baby girl in the hands of a sitter and anticipating a phone call from daycare that Finn was also sick, I popped in my headphones for some soothing sounds. I am so thankful for Pandora Radio, and today I am particularly thankful for the Avett Brothers because their music really soothed my restless soul.

new pictures
Maeve looks so grown up here.
Finn is such a little angel when he's sleeping. Unfortunately, he got used to sleeping in our bed during his last string of ear infections. He has been very hard to break of that habit!
2011- time for change
I read a lot of blogs. I have around 100 subscriptions in my google reader, and I check them throughout the day at work on my phone, or on my lunch break. I get inspired by these blogs for things to do around my house, helpful parenting advice, and celebrity gossip. One blog I stumbled across talked about 'finding the joy...' and that concept has really stuck with me for the past several days. So that is my solitary resolution for 2011-- to find the joy in life. It's not that I'm unhappy with my life, it's just that I am not taking the time to sincerely find the joy in the mundane things that I do daily; whether it is cooking dinner for my family, bathing the kids, counseling a new family at work. These things have become daily tasks/chores and they really are blessings when looked upon them with an open heart. So, there you have it. 2011--time for change.
