Plans are for suckers

So my plan to blog every day or two hasn't really worked out too well, and I'm kinda ok with it. It's hard to find the time during the day or even at night to do this and I'm considering myself lucky for having the energy to type right now.

Over the weekend the hubs and I took a mini vacay to NYC. We spent the night in a hotel, went to dinner, hung out at the museum and ventured into some random bars (mostly to keep warm). It was relaxing not having the kids with us but I still woke up every few hours at night. My sister and her husband took care of the kids so I knew they were in good hands... I'm just used to waking up every few hours to feed the little one. I must admit that I had the best nights sleep I've had in months.

So I've been thinking about warm weather and what I can do with the kids besides going to the park or beach. I would love it if Joaquin learned how to plant seeds and grow some plants. I want him to have something he can do himself and be proud of himself for doing a good job. He's been funny..... When he feels he does something good he sits there and claps for himself. Way too cute if you ask me. He shows me his huge smile and giggles as well. He's a funny kid.

I really want to have some things accomplished by the middle or end of summer. I'm trying to be realistic with my goal because I could have easily said I want these things done by the end of spring and it just wouldn't have happened. On with my list: buy a composter and start to compost. Find a part time job (I don't really want this one but I know it's needed). Learn to knit or crochet (with what time?? I don't know!), and a few more things that I can't remember right now. Its that darn mommy brain thing again! : P 

Every day I think of more things I may want to start doing but all my life is right now is watching the kids, feeding the kids, changing the kids, pumping, cleaning, laundry, cooking, dishes and a little bit of sleep. It may not seem like a lot but it is when most of those repeat throughout the day!
