Phwahh! A Wild Coaster Week.

phwahh

Phwahh!  Yeah…. I’ve been sitting here thinking about how to describe what this week has been.  I think Phwahh! is the best way to do it.  From the kids, activities, household and work, this week has run. me. ragged.  In both good and bad ways.

Here’s the rundown of why you haven’t seen much of me this week on the blog (or anywhere for that matter), despite my best intentions:

1.  My nanny has been out of town.  Unexpectedly.  I totally get it.  She had a family emergency.  Family first. Phwahh!

2.  Jon has been out of town.  Expectedly.  For work.  Phwahh!

3. Will had a double ear infection, which resulted in a harried excursion to Urgent Care mid-grocery shopping. Phwahh!

4. I secured a new blogging gig with a brand that I am TOTALLY thrilled to be working with.  I’ll share more details soon. I promise. Phwahh!

5. Yesterday when I was having a work day, the day care called to tell me my youngest son had been crying for the last six hours.  Bring on the guilt. Phwahh!

6. We received an offer on our house.  Happy dance.  Tears.  Hip hip hurray.  Anxiety.  Phwahh!

7.  I committed to running 100 miles this month.  More on that later. But, where’s the time to run 100 miles?  Phwahh!

8.  I have about 6 big projects that I’m running behind on for clients this week.  They will surely all get done today by 5pm while I’m watching both kids and finalizing the details on our home sale.  Right?  Phwahh!

So yes, it’s been a good, bad, ugly, and awesome week.  What’s the wildest thing that’s happened to you lately?
