Another week bites the dust

Well after last week you'd think we'd slow down.  Nope.  Monday at work my friends Briana, Brian, Kerry and Briana's family came to visit for Bri's moms 60th birthday.  After work they invited us to join them for dinner in Healdsburg.  We went to this amazing Portuguese restaurant called cafe Lucia.  The food was insane.  One of the best meals I've had in a long time.  I had a scallop dish and Rollie had lamb.  Lily was perfect and even slept in her stroller for close to an hour.

Tuesday Lily and I went to Dawns for playgroup, where she had made two beautiful cakes for a late birthday celebration for Ariya.  After group Lily and I ran a bunch if errands and I worked on some birthday stuff while Lily napped in the afternoon.
Wednesday Lily and I ran more errands, I got my haircut, and then had happy hour/book club that evening.

 
Thursday after work we met the gang on the town green in windsor for a Michael Jackson cover band concert.  Oh and Lily found its really fun to take all the books off her bookshelf.

Friday was work and cleaning/relaxing at night.  Saturday I worked while Rollie & Lily had a fun day together.  That evening after work a few of us girls went to bistro jeanty in yountville for dinner.  It was incredible.  Good company too :).  Lots of good food and wine this week...I'm not getting on the scale for a few days.
Today while the boys golfed us girls and the babes had a relaxing, casual gathering.  After Rollie got home we all relaxed/napped which was nice.  This afternoon we went to the music hall at Sonoma State to see the San Fransisco Symphony perform the music of the movies.  It was so much fun.  The facility is state if the art and we had the best weather.

In the thick of it

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.

Comparison

I started reading blogs almost 5 years ago. It first started with following a few photographers when I was laid off and thinking of pursuing a career in the photography field (that didn't happen), then it was home improvement blogs after we bought our first house (and I still follow many of those), and most recently pregnancy blogs that have now in a way turned into 'mommy' blogs.  I really enjoy reading a select few women's journeys through motherhood.  I even follow some of these women on Instagram and in a way some of us have become IG 'friends'.  Two of them posted about a topic today that I really can relate to.   Comparison is the thief of joy.   We are surrounded by Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Reality tv, Blogs and Pintrest that it is WAY to easy to find ways to compare our lives with those we know as well as complete strangers.  I work in the luxury wine industry and I meet people everyday that don't even blink at dropping a mortgage payment worth
