{Live} Adventures Of A Working Mom Staying At Home | Week Two
July 18, 2011 in All Posts, Laugh, Parenting
I’ve quit the law, if you didn’t already know. As in I’m not practicing it, not that I’m not following it.
My first week as a stay-at-home mom was a little messy. But thankfully, this week was bleach-free and everything landed where it was supposed to (well, almost).
Here’s the summary of Week Two by emotional highlight of each day:
Day One
- Delighted that Bird’s Party featured my Coconut Sprinkle Strawberries, even though I almost didn’t have time to link up to her party!
Day Two
- Pleased to finally spend some quality time with the kids and Uncle B during his visit home.
Day Three
- Scared to bits by Super 8; shocked that I actually made it to the movies (it’s been a year almost to the date).
Day Four
- Ecstatic that one of my dear friends got engaged and happy to have the time to bake Gingerbread Sweetheart Cakes to celebrate, despite Jane’s refusal to nap.
Day Five
- Regret having celebrated my friend’s engagement with a “Scorpion Bowl” (in addition to the glasses of wine imbibed prior to said “Scorpion Bowl”).
Day Six
- Astounded to discover irrefutable proof that a universal standard of beauty exists.
Jane - Mommy, who’s that?
Me - Brad Pitt.
Jane - Brad Pitt is beautiful.

Day Seven
- Dumbfounded when I find Sam hunched nose-first over the kitchen floor mat, until I realize that he is trying to re-ingest his regurgitated dinner cat-style.

You are funny, we loved Super 8 too!
It was such a great throwback 80’s Spielberg movie, I loved it! (And probably scary only to little kids, but I’m easily spooked by movies). Thanks for stopping by
ahhh…yes, Brad Pitt. Super 8 was really freaky, huh? I don’t really know much about it but I’ll have to check it out now. Enjoy your staying at home time
Okay, it’s actually not that scary, but I worked myself up into a frenzy beforehand. It’s pretty tame by horror-movie watching standards, but I am a lightweight
