Every day with Maggie and my husband is my blessing.

Biggest challenge this week has been - huh- I guess trying to pack for this weekend trip while trying to keep work afloat and keep the house in order. I'm starting to fail miserably at keeping the house in order and struggling with the rest of working and feeling productive - but I keep reminding myself that both Maggie and DH work overtime at tearing the house apart. Until one of them is out of the house all day long, and I have the nanny on Maggie's butt all day long, it's going to be a zoo around here.

Every day I count my lucky stars that I get to work from home and keep my career while still seeing Juliana throughout the day.

My challenge is still finding ways to get everything done, including getting enough sleep, time with DH, time to workout, clean house, cook healthy meals, etc. Something is always sacrificed.

Blessings: Healthy, happy family. Good job for the hubby.

Challenge for the week: Teething and sick kiddo. He's getting better though! Actually, he's lots better today. No fever and the congestion has gone down a ton.

Blessings: Awesome hubby and daughter, awesome hubby who believes me when I say I "NEED" two pairs of sandals even though we're a few weeks away from cold weather everyday (LOL), loving families and friends, health.

Challenges: Laundry. I never can catch up when I come home from Texas, it takes forever....even with help from DH (another blessing!)

Battles: fighting with my DH earlier this week, and our apartment is a disaster

Blessings: Having great friends who watched Vincent when I needed it (and it went great!), Watching Vincent have a blast at music class, resolving my conflict with DH and things are much better now, and tonight I got caught up on a few chores and already finished my math homework for next week.

Blessings: All the sickness is gone, and Im blesses with two beautiful girls a and wonderful hands on DH that works hard to support us.

Challenges: Trying to keep up with this house. We had a lot of sickness, then so many things to do, family in town and not enough time to tend to the house.

Blessing: Being able to stay home with Wyatt during the day rather than finding a Daycare for him to go to.

Battles: The Teething monster has hit our house again Darn Eye-Teeth are trying to work their way in and it makes meal times a pain and nighttime a challenge some nights
