Happy 1st Birthday baby Harper!
Today is my daughters 1st birthday!!! I really cannot believe it, I've looked and pictures, gone through baby clothes, and its just amazing it has been a year. A really fun, amazing year. She has definitely grown up since her trip home from the hospital!!! My mother threw her an amazing 1st b-day party yesterday! It was cute, fun, and polka-dot themed!
Trial #2- The Library Trip
Yes. The Library trip. It didn't go well, it was hot, I locked my purse, my keys, the stroller, and my keys in the car. The librarians weren't very understanding, and the length of time we had to wait for my mother to rescue us ended up cutting into her nap. I failed. I do think it would have went well if not for locking everything in the car though!
I will be making a documentation of my first official emotional breakdown. It happened today at about 1pm. I cried for and hour and a half like, no offense Harper, a baby. Fetal position, head buried into pillow, and wailing. During my pregnancy breakdown quantity, zero. The first year of marriage, breakdown quantity also zero. First year of being a mom, again zero. I knew it was coming, and it made an appearance today. I am officially done crying, and done feeling bad for myself. I feel normal again. I never believed that a good cry can make everything better, but it did for me today. Whew, glad that's over. I think the library scenario contributed.
Trial #3- Cleaning Charts
I am going to make a cleaning chart to follow. I usually do a small amount of cleaning every day which worked well, or so I thought. I woke up this morning and realized, I must be doing too small of an amount of work; my house is disgusting. I was shocked. How could I not have noticed this before? So, I'll make a chart with daily things to do. That way, everything gets done and the house can stay clean throughout the week. NO SURPRISE DISGUSTINGS!
Materials:
