Working late sucks

Here I am, it is almost 6:30pm and I am still at work. I came in at 6:30pm this morning. I have no end in sight with my work and I just want to go home and snuggle my babies.

I leave the house every morning by 5:45am to get to work at 6:30am. I usually leave work at 2:30pm and get home around 4:00pm.

Today is different. Today I stayed late to get things wrapped up before the long Holiday weekend. Most people have a 4 day weekend, but I am taking a 5 day weekend.

Andrew needs to have an ultrasound done tomorrow morning at 7:30am. He cannot eat for 4 hours beforehand so I will be up at 3:00am trying to force feed him a bottle (or breast) before 3:30am which is his eating cut off time. I am surprised they really expect an 11 month old to go 4 - 6 hours without food, but I am giving it a shot. I decided not to come into work due to the fact that I will be up at 3am and also because I do not see the point in driving 70 miles tomorrow while sitting in crappy Holiday traffic just to work 3-4 hours. I will work 5 hours from home instead.

I am hoping to get out of here by 7:00pm and then sit in crappy traffic and be home by 8:00pm (fingers crossed). I really need to see my baby boy today before he goes to sleep! I did have a pleasnt surprise when they showed up to have lunch with me today, but of course I dont think thats enough time with him, so I need to see him before bed so I can explain his day tomorrow to him.

Back to work I go!

Toodles.

Pinterest..... A Moms addiction

Today I have been inspired to write my blog more as an everyday working Mom. I love that I can possibly inspire people out there with the "cool" things I have found on Pinterest. Like my weekend project below.

I can't help myself but to spend countless hours a day on Pinterest looking for the next greatest idea.

Planning my sons birthday party has been its own amazing Pinterest experience. It was amazing to just type "fish party" and suddenly have a ton of ideas on things I could do and I was amazed I could put them in their own special "Fish Party" board for me to see. I will post a link to the party theme I chose as well as pictures from his 1st birthday party after it happens in December.

The greatest things I have recently discovered on Pinterest are the fact that I can have multiple people pinning onto a board on my account! For example, I made a board for  my nieces birthday and allowed my Sister to pin as well. How cool we can share ideas.

The other greatest thing that I am head over heels for is the secret boards!! My Sister & I own a business (www.mestinaschicboutique.com) and we always need new ideas and after having friends "steal" our ideas that we found I was very happy to come across the secret boards. Now we can start to pin again and not just bookmark all of our findings so others cant see where our inspiration comes from.

Until next time.....
