Mommy's Going Away.............

We have been pretty busy over here at, Casa de Jordan. We are in full swing of Madeleine's classes and lots of play group time. It's actually been kind of nice because it makes the days go by faster and Madeleine has been taking some great naps! HALLELUJAH!!!! Today was the first day we didn't have anywhere to be, and it has been so nice to just clean around the house and play in the backyard. Tomorrow we're back out running around all over town.

On another note........ Mommy is going away to San Francisco, next weekend!! Yes, JUST ME!!! No Madeleine!!!! No Morgan!!!!!! This will be the first time that I leave her for more than a day. EVER. It will also be the first time that Morgan will be alone with her for more than 8 hours! I wish that I could plant little cameras all around the house just to capture everything while I'm gone. He has to take her to gymnastics, make all her meals, keep her entertained and anything else that might pop up. A little piece of me wants him to struggle and for her to really give him a hard time. I know, that's mean! But, I'm sure she'll be on her best behavior, start writing her ABC's, speaking French, and she will eat a whole chicken. <insert HUGE eye roll> I'm sure they'll be just fine and they'll bond even more.

I on the other hand will be drinking copious amounts of cocktails and enjoying some quality time with my aunt. That's usually what we do best, drink and shop! It's been a good 6+ years since I've been back to the bay area. I can't wait to explore a little more. Any great restaurants, you guys can recommend?

Well, besides being Madeleine's activities director and chauffeur, I am trying my hands at some potted flowers and a tomato plant. This is HUGE for me, people!! I have actually killed about 8 fern plants, you know, the easiest plant to take care of. I was really happy with myself that I planted them all by myself. They were supposed to be for the backyard, but Madeleine pulled 4 flowers from one pot and Chili attempted to dig in one pot. Naughty kids!! So, we had to move them to our front porch which actually gets great sunlight. I'm proud to say that I have only forgotten to water them once, and they are actually thriving. My tomato plant is even growing. Who am I?!?!?! Maybe next year I'll grow a garden...hahaha, baby steps, Nicole. Let's see how they're doing in a month. I've included Madeleine in my watering duties. Hopefully, one day she'll do it for me ;)

Well, that's all for right now. I have to attempt to make dinner, or order pizza. I just have not been motivated to cook anything interesting this week! Maybe, I'll get back on track next week. :) I have been off Pinterest this week, aaaaahhhhhh. Ok, I'm rambling, bye!
