The Facts of Life

So lately in my day to day life I keep hearing the theme song to the "Facts of Life" running through my head. Don't ask me why but I find it pretty appropriate. Things have been hectic this last week because nana and pops are out of town and I had to go do adult things at work three days this week. Soooo, Micah had to really go with the flow and I have been exhausted getting him to a sitter each day before 8 oclock. Hats off to all you mom's out there who do it everyday. It is extremely difficult when that isn't part of your routine. Plus he is changing so rapidly that just the nine hours he was away from me in a few days I missed things that I didn't want to miss. (there is the theme song again...) Micah went to the babysitter with Hayden two days this week and did so good. He cried the first day (truth be told, so did I) but after that was fine. Hayden runs to my car with the report each day and today's was "He didn't cry at all, when are you bringing him back?" Which is better than yesterday when Hayden told me he kept cryin and cryin' and that Ms. Rhonda didn't have room for Micah on Thurs. Our house is a disaster because we are like a whirlwind passing through each day but we are managing. Mick has been gone each night so Micah and I have to go to the ballfield to see him through the chainlinks...Hopefully things let up soon. After hearing the "facts of life" first verse for the seventeenth time I decided to look up what the 2nd verse was and I found all of this:

Seasons 1

When books are what you're there about and looks are what you care about the time is right, to learn the facts of life.
