Haven't been too busy yet at the tax office so I've been getting home early every day but still haven't done much in the way of housework. I seem to be spending most of my time cooking or cleaning up after a meal. It still feels like a holiday routine around here but that'll change soon, I'm sure.
I did one of my dunce acts yesterday by letting the door close on my foot, so I've been moaning and groaning about the aches and pains from that. Jordan and Jaylen have survived the week with us although Jaylen got bored with us pretty quick and decided to stay with Alexis since Wednesday. We've missed her but I know for a fact that the Chick is a lot more fun to play with.
I hope everyone had a great week and a fantastic Friday!
