Life Updates of a Larger Magnitude

Is it strange that I find going back to work less stressful than being home with the girls?  That's an easy question - I only feel that way because I don't have any crazy projects going on. I can actually use the time at work to tackle both work and life stuff, without distractions.  It makes me a saner  person.  Today I wrote Thank You notes, ordered a baby gift for a friend, and balanced my bank account while simultaneously taking mandatory company safety training.  (Actually, the first aid refresher was quite useful.  The construction site stuff was not so much up my alley.)  I'm going to empty the dishwasher and have a cup of coffee before I get Lil and Eve, and otherwise prepare myself to be a better parent before they get home.  I guess I need to get groceries for dinner during that trip as well...   This weekend Matt and I had an awesomely relaxing weekend which was the direct result of not making any concrete plans.  We...

I was witty and pithy and lots of other words that have escaped me completely.  Now I feel like my brain is operating in molasses.  I wish I could blame it on the lack of sleep, but Lillian is a fantastic sleeper.  (I mean, I don't wish that because that would mean that I wasn't getting any sleep.)  I feel sorry for people who are just meeting me because I must come across as a total airhead.  Walk 2 feet, lose track of mission, focus on the pretty thing in front of me, stare blankly, recite random response to conversation from 2 hours ago.  Awesome.
