I had a research paper to write and complete that week that I had barely started. Natalie was out of school Thursday and Friday so I asked her what she wanted to do and made it a goal to do each of them that week. To really surprise Karl, I decided to replace all the contact paper throughout that whole house. Plus I knew I should make dinner every night even though it would mainly be just me and the two girls.
So I did it and it was nuts. I took Kylie to play dates in the morning, worked on the contact paper during the day while Nat was at school, did a fun activity with the girls in the afternoon, made dinner, and then did homework until 11pm every night. I was so tired by the middle of the week that I didn't even move when I slept. The time change had just happened so Kylie was waking up at 5 and 5:30am. I usually don't get up before 7am, Karl gets the baby, and I'm in bed no later than 10pm, 9pm if Karl will let me get away with it. So you can see how it seemed a miracle that I survived the week.
Let me tell you. Friday night when Karl came home was amazing. All the contact paper was done, Nat and I had finished cleaning the house for the week that afternoon, I had all my homework done and Karl was totally surprised. We had such a nice weekend after that time away from one another. I love getting the chance to do things like that for Karl. Since he has been working from home for the last 2 years or so, surprising him has been hard to do.
Here are some photos of the fun times I had with the girls. I couldn't get any swimming at the gym but I think that was Kylie's favorite!
