My mom told me she talked to my Grandpa last week and she described the family gathering we had few Saturdays ago: when she got to me she said, "Camilla, well, let's see. . . . Erin (my sister) gave her a pedicure, and then, umm, she ate some dip, and, well, I think she's just growing a fetus these days (aka, I sat on my bum while everyone else cooked, cleaned, and played around--but phrased in my mother's polite language)."
And that is what is up. . . .I am currently neglecting my laundry, my bathroom, by bedroom, my kids (see guilt in my countenance after that confession), so that I can sit on my bum most of the day. Sad, yes. True, yes.
Though, I did take one for the kids this week who have basically been out of school for testing (Kindergarteners get their own 30 minute face-to-face time block): I took the kids to the zoo, to the park, and to the indoor pool--GO ME! (I am cheering myself on because I didn't feel like leaving the house at all).

Oh, I feel like that most days and I'm not growing a fetus! You have a good excuse!
Growing a fetus is stinking HARD work. And if other things slide a bit, well, there is legitimate reason. And honestly, if you took your kids to the zoo, the park AND the pool all in one week then you are definitely not neglecting them.
By the way, when I saw you at the zoo that one day...I was with my friend Heather (high school friend, college roomie) and my ex-boyfriend's wife. It was a little odd. Long story as to why I was there with my ex's wife but when I first ran into you I had just met her for the first time and things were still a bit awkward....so if I was acting weird, that's why.
You are SUPER MOM!!! You can sit on your bum all you want!
You're almost there Camilla! Growing a fetus is definitely hard work, especially with three other kids to take care of!
