Week at Whitney's

So I had a really great time at Whitney's house with the kids. I was nervous before I went, and wondered how it would be taking care of five kids. But it was . . . not really easy--I mean, it was a lot of work--but besides how much work it was, it was sort of easy! I felt like it was challenging to keep up with making meals, cleaning up after them, keeping them busy and entertained--but challenging in the kind of way where you feel good because you are working hard and succeeding . . . and in a funny way, it made me a lot more confident in being a mother to Little James (and his future siblings). I have no doubts now that I want to have a big family of my own--maybe even more than five!

Anyway, we are going camping this weekend, so I have a ton to get ready before then--including starting to clean up for when my sisters come to visit me (a couple days after we get back from camping). SO I MIGHT NOT UPDATE MUCH, MARE. But hopefully I will pop in, soon. ;-)

Off to Whitney's!

Me and James are spending the week at his sister Whitney's house, watching her five kids while she is off on a vaca to Alaska. I'm excited but of course it is quarter to five, I should have GOTTEN there 2 hours ago (it is a 2 hour drive), and I still have to pack clothes for me and James and go food shopping.

I blame it all on Dexter.

But my kitchen is clean, the food we are taking with us is packed, my fridge is completely cleaned out, the cats are all set for the week, and the plants are watered, so I'm not a TOTAL loser. Well, I still sort of am.

Okay Adrienne. Go pack and then leave. STOP ACTING LIKE A FREAKING PSYCHO.
