How are You? Yes, you?
Me? Thanks for asking.
The past two weeks have flown by. Literally, flown by. I didn't know what it would be like to balance a home life with a work life now I have Skyler, and if I had made a venture to guess, I don't think it would have been right.
I think the surprising thing is that I am never really not working. What I mean by that is that when I am at work I am busy. And, likewise when I am home, I am busy. Stew and I are in a constant state of motion, with Saturday being our only real break from not just the office, but al the prep work it takes for us to make it to the office.
For example, it's Sunday. That means all laundry for the week needs done, Skyler's outfits need laid out, diaper bag needs packed, daycare bag needs to be packed, nails need done, and my outfit for tomorrow needs to be laid out. It's like life is just a big list of things that need checked off.
And, not that I mind. I am actually every efficient and task driven, so it's fine. But, sometimes I would like to talk to my husband about something other than the correct method for washing baby socks, is the bag packed and oh, man is that poop on your shirt? (It WAS. Skyler's not his).
The job itself is great. I wish I had it two years ago. I could really throw myself into it. There are many exciting challenges and I am involved in so many different areas.
You know how when you are young and your boss is in meetings all day while you do their shit work and you dream of being that boss? Well, the sun is risen the day hath come, I am that person. I am involved in high-level leadership meetings that are changing the face of where the company is going. But, alas, I still have work to do. So, I am working more overtime than I anticipated, which I need to squash or it will be that way forever and ever amen.
Other than that, we bought a car (a 2010 Prius we are still waiting to pick up) survived Skyler's first flu, followed by my first flu as a Mama, a trip to Birmingham, Skyler starting solid foods (organic sweet potato, carrot, and quinoa- which I bought and did not make-I know my limits), took the Factory Records tour, got all my new clothes tailored and...that about brings you up to speed.
Say, this was fun. Let's do this more often. I'll have my people call your people.
Love to all.
Hearts and Stars,
Sara Lou.

Always have to organized with a little one, but adding a job to the mix is much more challenging. You and Stew seem to have a handle on it. You are the Task Master, remember?
I knew you could do it and I'm so thankful you like the job so well. Good to hear sweet Skylie and you have both gotten over your flu and will cross my fingers that Stew doesn't get it. Hope your date night went well, you both deserve it. Have a happy week.
Love you all,
Mom
I feel for all you young ones nowadays, it's not easy trying to 'keep all the balls in the air' at once. Just hope you're not too tired to enjoy life as you always have and to make the most of all the precious 'free' time you have together as a family. Love Mum X
Time flies when you're having fun, doesn't it!
Peace and Love
