One Crazy-Busy Week
By Moriah on February 13th, 2009
Because my mom is here, it’s been a crazy-busy week for our little family. The whirlwind is starting to wind down and I’m able to stop and catch my breath a little. She’s the type of person that likes to cram each day to the brim and drags me into it (almost) unknowingly.
For example, she’s watched the kids so Andy and I could go out on a couple of dates, hosted a little Valentine’s tea for some dear local friends, ran errands, made dinners, took Madeline, my sisters and me out for an afternoon tea, helped finish a few house projects (which I’m saving later posts), and organized my laundry room.
Not to mention all the babysitting.
This morning Andy and I went out to breakfast and then on a nature walk. (I surprise myself sometimes.) It’s really very convenient having a live-in babysitter, even if only for a week! I was able to meet some friends for coffee on Tuesday, and different friends last night. (I could totally get used to this.)
And this probably goes without saying but my kids have LOVED IT. They’ve gotten to go to the playground and Chick-Fil-A and on bike rides and learned several new games and Drew started getting into this ABC floor puzzle she brought him.
He also had his very first school Valentine’s party yesterday and it was the cutest thing in the world to watch him share his cards and candy with his sisters.
These are the things I want to remember.

next time you come to Atlanta, we Must have tea together…my girls would love it! I’ll even make lemon curd if it’ll tempt you…
I love having help nearby! It really is a life saver sometimes.
That all sounds like fun! I know you’ll be sad to send her back to CO! Tell her it’s FREEZING here with more snow on the way. ;)
You cracked me up with your nature walk comment. So funny!
Oh how I love when my Mom (well, my Mother in law) is in town. I actually get to do things ALONE and my husband and I actually get to eat a meal in peace.
Built-in babysitters are the BEST! My mom comes about once a year, and I love it.
But the breakfast with your hubby and the nature walk sounds so…wonderful. My hubby and I need to get out by ourselves…
I love floor puzzles…they are Savannah’s favorite thing right now.
Next time you should make Mom feel special
Not sure what that’s supposed to mean; my mother did exactly what she wanted/loves to do.
Hey! Happy Valentine’s Day. I was just thinking I need to add you to my blogroll so I can keep up and I found you already listed under Philly moms. I must have added you when you lived in the area. So sorry I didn’t meet you until after you moved!
Take care and have a wonderful Valentine’s evening. My husband is finishing a project at my in-laws tonight so I am a handyguy’s widow tonight. Good time to catch up on blog reading!
And I thought you were crazy busy! :)I guess that’s where you get it from. Sounds like a great time was had by all. I just love watching my mom and mother-in-law with my kids…it’s so sweet and they end up learning so much that I never thought to teach them.
Yes!! I did exactly as I pleased. My goal was to give you some sunshine in your life and a chance to recharge your batteries. It gives me great joy to see the smiles on your and Andy’s faces after time spent together. I love being with my grandchildren, too. They love to give hugs and kisses. I so wish I lived closer but we are where God wants us. I cherish our memories together. You have such a gift of communication. I’m so very proud of you. Mom
