Life is busy! Between health issues, basement renovations, life with Baby Breeze - who now not only crawls but can walk pushing a bin or chair at 8 months- and Storm who just turned 4 years and has her first dance recital coming up (which means weekly practice, photo shoots, dress rehearsals, searching stores for leotards and makeup!!), yard and garden work, long-distance learning, not to mention daily household chores and trying to come up with 3 healthy meals a day, I am exhausted! I used to get sooo many things done in one day (before kids), now I have to pick and choose what I do while the baby sleeps - working on my blog right now is at the expense of organizing the hall closet or completing the setup of the office (now that we have walls and a floor). Every day I choose a project and focus on that  - laundry, vacuuming, baking, organizing, picking up toys,  (where did they all come from? I think some asexual reproduction is going on while I sleep), etc, etc, etc.We still do not have the full use of the basement which we so desperately need - we are awaiting our tile. Once the floor is in we will have much needed closet and storage space which means everything that's laid out in our rec room right now will be put away and we can start using it as a rec room! Hurray, it's only been 3 years! Then we need to focus on the bathrooms. Renovating this house has been one of the slowest processes, how can that be when the world is spinning so fast and everyone, including me, complains how hurried life has become?
