Week in Review

Monday we met Rollie on his lunch break for a nice walk around his building surroundings.  I parked 1 1/2 miles away and jogged to meet him so it ended up being a 3.5 miles jog/walk which was nice and it was super nice seeing him in the middle of the day.  After our walk we headed to trader joes for our weekly grocery shopping and then home to relax for the rest of the afternoon.

Tuesday Lily and I snuggled in bed for a bit before heading over to Zenia and Zachary's for playgroup.  Zenia lives a little over a mile so Lily and I jogged there and walked back.  It was a small group which is sometimes nice for the mom's and the babies.  After playgroup we met Dawn/Aryia, Micaela/Ensley and Lyndsay for lunch at Chloe's.  Dawn and Micaela couldn't make playgroup because the girls were having napping issues earlier in the morning so it was nice to catch up.  After lunch Lily and I headed to  met Jack and Melissa for our weekly afternoon walk.  We've been doing these hills and they don't seem to get any easier!  Tuesday night we had Rosey, Vanessa, and Tim over for dinner.  The hubbies had  yet to met so it was nice for them to finally hangout.  I made lamb burgers for the first time and they turned out amazing.

Wednesday, Thursday and Friday were back to work for me and nothing too exciting happened.  We've been getting alot busier and work and I had the added pressure of my employee review this week.  Everything was great regarding my review, however I did have to have the conversation with my boss that I don't plan on returning to work 5 days a week...that 5th day being Sunday.  At this point I'm not willing to give up a day (the only day) that the three of us have together and I'm also not willing to work 5 days a week.  Its hard enough working 4 days with a 40 minute commute and it also doesn't financially make a whole lot of sense to put Lily in daycare full time nor is that something I want to do. I'm happy right now working Wednesday through Saturday (yes I'm tired and miss her terribly but its good for both of us) and I'm happy when I'm at work and I do love my job so I'm really hoping I can continue my current schedule...she (my boss) is getting back to me.  

Saturday was a crazy busy day at work for me but Rollie, Lily, and Janet (Rollie's mom) had a great day together.  Saturday night we were thinking of going out to dinner but I was too exhausted so we ordered salad and pizza for our local Mombo's pizza joint, stayed in and rented This is 40.  

Today was Easter and I'll write a separate post about that :)

Hopefully monthly blogging won't become a habit.  Life has just been crazy.  April was a big blur. We host a bi annual pick up party at work and for the months of April and October I'm pretty much a working like mad or exhausted from working like mad.  Then it took a week to feel normal again! I'm also working split days at the moment (off on Sunday/Tuesday) and its really not fun.  I can't truly enjoy a weekend and its really hard to decompose on Sundays knowing that I have to work the next day.  Hopefully I only 2 more months of it until Piper can start at Lily's preschool/daycare. Rollie was a rock-star Dad as always, taking care of not only the girls but me too.  I know there were days that I was grumpy and not myself.  They did come to visit me one day during the craziness and that helped! Lily is wonderful 90% of the time and a threenager the other 10%.  It's absolutely amazing what a 3.5 year old absorbs and their tiny little imaginations are just the

May (or better known as my Birthday Month)

I took the girls to the Museum again-it was a hot one! That afternoon we enjoyed some Popsicles on the deck. One night after work we made a Home Depot run and then decided it was too hot to cook so we took the girls to Pieology. We brought bagels to the teachers for Teacher Appreciation Week. We celebrated May The 4th with our Star wars gear. I had a work dinner one evening and we spoiled my Manager with baby stuff for his soon to be baby girl. Lily, Ariya & Ensley had their first official sleepover at Ensleys house. We had framily over for a late cinco de mayo dinner. My mom sent the girls super cute matching dresses. Rollie set up a day date for us in Napa.  We went to Freemark Abbey, Goose & Gander for lunch and then Cardinale.  It was such a lovely day just the two of us.  Janet was in town so she hung out with Piper and Lily went to Kerry and Kristen's and enjoyed the pool and a nap on the Farm.

My latest read...

I have lots to blog about, Chicago, Michigan, our recent weekend in San Fran...but this comes first.  Last week I was doing my usual 'before bedtime Facebook scan', and I came across a post from a High School friend.  Maggie had posted an article about Natalie Taylors new memoir, 'Signs of Life'.  I knew it was going to be released  this Winter/Spring but it had slipped my mind.  I immediately went onto Amazon and ordered it.  I got the book Thursday and I'll be done tonight (I have 2 more chapters to go).  I'm not a fast reader.  Rollie can back me up on this one.  I got about 6 books for Christmas and I've only finished one so far, and I'm in the middle of two others.  Rollie would have had all of them finished and probably would have bought a few more by now. But back to the point.  A little background on Natalie...Natalie was married to Josh Taylor, one of my closest friends brother and someone that I grew up with.  Josh passed away instantly from a
