Drowning..

in a sea of shoes and clothes and too many things to do, such is a life of a mother.

I spent a good part of my Saturday going through the "nestlings" mudroom closets.
I usually go through them in the Spring and the Fall, but I didn't get to it last Spring since I had a baby, and so it had been a whole year.
Oh my! They were BAD!

I took out enough shoes to outfit a village of kids.
I made piles of coats and shoes of every kind that don't fit the "nestlings" right now.

In the evening I took a break, from my sinking ship of things to get done, to go on a rare and much needed date with the "husbird." It felt like a sacrifice at the time, leaving mini-messes all over my house. Sad I know.
It's not that I didn't want to go on a date with my sweetie, it's just that I knew I would wake up to all the messes on Sunday morning. Aghhh.
Wish I had had more time to clean them up before we left.
Oh well, I'm so glad we went.
We saw an excellent show, that I am still thinking about.

It made me laugh and cry. I recommend taking some Kleenex.

Then we went and ate at a new restaurant in the area, Brio.
It was very tasty.
It's always nice to fit some work and play in a day!
