Blue Steel

I go back to work on Monday. I do miss the people and some of the work but it will be difficult to be away from Chloe during the day. She is just so darn cute!!! She has been such a chatterbox.

Some cute pictures:

Have you seen Zoolander? This is Chloe's 'Blue Steel' look-

I think she looks SO much like Rob (but with my nose) -


Her hair is starting to look more like mine -


Everyone was down for an afternoon nap (Ben was also sleeping but wants less to do with Chloe so he was sleeping away from the group)

We were able to get at a couple of things that we would never attempt on just a weekend. We reorganized our master bedroom closet. We moved the shelves to a different wall, and put my work clothes apart from my weekend/casual clothes. It looks amazing. I sorted through ALL of my clothes, even the stuff in the dresser drawers I have ignored for a few years (I mean - really. I'm not sure why I was keeping size 8 jeans around. If I'm ever that size again, I think shopping for a new pair of jeans won't break the bank!) We brought a few stacks of clothes to Goodwill and now all of the clothes I have, I actually can wear. I was inspired by having everything clean and sorted, so I ironed EVERYTHING that would need to be ironed. Everything. I can now go into my closet and pick something to wear without having to wonder if it fits and if I want to bother with it because I don't want to iron. I'm hoping this will ease my transition back to work.

Being that it's so freezing cold we didn't leave the house today. The closet was the cleanest part of the house (how does everything get so messy?!), so we cleaned our house from top to bottom. We still had our Christmas stuff up (it was so past time to take it down) so that was put back in bins in the process. It was another thing nice to have done before I get back to work!
