Another week alone...

So Dave is gone for another week, all alone.......maybe I'll finally get some of the things done around here that I've been meaning to do. We really do miss it when he's gone, but is it wrong to look forward to the week as well? Okay, that came out wrong. It's just that when all I have to worry about is Delanah and I, well, we do things on a different schedule. I don't feel like I need to worry about getting all the chores done before he gets home, or have a nice dinner planned, or laundry folded, etc...we are on "Mommy and Delanah" time for the next week. This means that most things get done when they get done, but without the guilt! I tend to get more things done when home alone anyway...I don't know why. I think I like the idea that he's going to come home and see a difference in the way the house looks.
My goals for this week....donate the schwak of items we have meant for Goodwill (I am a serious pack rat sometimes, but I'm slowly chipping away at things), wipe down and prep for storage all of the baby items we no longer use....this task has been hard for me. My little girl is too big for her bouncer! We don't use her swing anymore, and now that we have the UPPA and BOB, we don't use her Graco stroller anymore either. If only I had known earlier how awesome the BOB was...I don't think we would have gotten the Graco in the first place. We are keeping it around though for baby #2, and possibly 3, 4, 5...oh who knows how many little Schelbach's we'll eventually be blessed with! I think with those two chores I am going to have a lot of room open up, and Bay will finally get to reach her toys again :)
Oh there are the other things I want to get done as well, finally get everything in place in our room, prep the master bath...but in order to get everything done I would miss out on play time with Delanah and that's just not something I am willing to do....so the chores drag on.... I am hoping to get back on a good sleeping schedule again as well. Delanah is on a great schedule, if only I could get myself on a proper time clock! Last night, or this morning rather, I was up until about 3am...don't know why...sigh....
