 New month {OMG}, so I think it's time for another "lately" post! Here's what's happening in my world these days... 1: Number of times I've practiced yoga for longer than 15-20 minutes in the past month. I am SO sad about this and am planning to remedy the situation this month. This is the least yoga I've ever practiced in my life (since starting practicing regularly, of course). I blame all of our childcare issues (see below). 2: Number of cans of seltzer that I'm drinking per day--but only because I'm limiting myself to this number (or it would be WAY more). Could there be anything more refreshing than a cold can from the fridge? #addicted 3: Number of childcare providers we've been through since Charlie Mae was born 6 months ago. Why has it been SO hard for us to figure this out?!? We start our newest childcare option next week--praying that this one finally works out! 4: Number of unread books on my nightstand. Also the approximate number of minutes I can read each night before falling asleep, and thus, why there are so many unread books on my nightstand. 5: Number of weekly yoga classes I'm teaching right now. This is also the least yoga I've ever taught since becoming a teacher back in 2010, and it's weird because it still feels like a lot. How did I teach 17 classes per week when I first started? Or even 12 classes per week when I lived in DC? Or 10 when I first moved to the Cape? Crazy. 6: Hours of sleep I've been averaging since we introduced solids into Charlie Mae's life on Friday. The girl has been having some serious belly issues and those great nights of sleep that I told you about recently? Vanished, just like that. Hoping this new pattern is a short-lived thing and her digestion calms down ASAP. 7: Days per week that Sayde now asks for her "dinner" at least 1-2 hours before she's supposed to get it. The girl is killing me with her nonstop barking and sad "I want dinner" eyes at 1:30pm! 8: Number of client projects that I'm currently in the middle of (with Sara's help, obviously). 9: Number of tabs open at the top of my browser right now; most of them are articles or links that I need to check out and haven't gotten to yet. Do you leave this many tabs open at once, too? I know I'm not the only one who works this way... 10: Number of Dark chocolate bars that Ben purchased on his trip to Whole Foods yesterday (when I asked him to pick up just one). The guy is OUT OF CONTROL when it comes to sweets these days. Is this what parenthood looks like? Just making it rain with $4 chocolate bars? ...And that's what's happening in my hectic life right now. What does the numerical breakdown of your life look like these days? Happy March, everyone!

I am addicted to seltzer too! I just tried lemon and it is my new favorite! So glad three of your classes are in Centerville! Go Ben! Who cannot love a man that brings home 10 bars!

Yes, in my experience, parenthood (even step-parenthood) is chocolate binging, struggling to finish a book, rarely getting a night to go to a yoga class, etc. But it's all temporary and changes month to month... keeping that in mind usually helps me make peace with the chaos! Comments are closed.
