Thoughts For Thursday....Stream of Consciousness

Today, I am linking up with Annie from Home of Malones and Natalie from East Coast Chic for:

• Tomorrow is Addison's cataract surgery and I have mixed emotions. On the one hand, I can't wait to start the process-- but on the other hand, I am nervous for the recovery. 
• I am starting to plan my return to work (in four weeks), and I want a realistic pumping schedule. I am a teacher and so I can't just take 10 minute breaks whenever I want-- I have to strategically plan when I will pump. I think I have a plan, but I am worried about leaking, engorgement, and the general stress that comes with returning to work. 
• How do you working moms do it? As it is-- I hardly have time to cook, clean, do the laundry, and take care of little miss. I hate asking for help-- especially when I am still at home-- but sometimes I just need an afternoon to myself to just tackle all of the projects I want to do! 
• I am nervous to go back to work-- I am worried I won't be on my "A" game and that it will be a struggle. I take my school work so seriously, but I know that with a baby, I won't be able to do as much as I was doing before my maternity leave. 
• The weather outside has been BEAUTIFUL! Today it is 50 degrees outside, and it smells like spring! I am loving being able to walk around with Addison in February. (Although I just saw a report that it is supposed to snow tomorrow-- meh).
• Recently, I have fallen back in love with Grey's Anatomy. It was a college staple-- my friends and I would gather on Thursday nights in my dorm room and watch it all together. There were many nights when we would study afterwards, but be so distracted from the show that it made it almost impossible to focus! 
• Any at-home Valentine's Day ideas? We are trying to save money, and I was thinking we could do a night in instead of a night out.
• I am so thankful for my husband and family-- they have provided so much support in the last couple months. 
• I need to start working out again--but I am so unmotivated!!! I just need to get over myself and start haha
• I really want to create a nice space in the office for a desk and play area for Addie. Right now- the office is our dumping ground and it is just filled with so much "stuff."

And that's pretty much what I have been thinking about all day! Can't wait to see what you all have been up to this week :)

Thoughts for Thursday

Today I am linking up with Home of Malones and East Coast Chic for Thoughts for Thursday! 

My thoughts for this week include: 

• Thinking about at what point we should put our window air conditioners in. It has been unseasonably warm in New England the past few days, and I think we may have hit our breaking point :) 
• Figuring out what house project we want to pursue. Ideally, I would love to re-do the kitchen first. We need to paint our cabinets (anyone know how to do this with minimal effort?!), switch out the floors, and re-do the counter tops. Thankfully, we don't need to replace any of our appliances yet (although the microwave may need to be replaced sooner than we hope). We also are thinking about painting our house a new color, but we are having a hard time deciding! It is such a big decision, and while we have found some colors we love, we don't know how they will look with our house. 
• Deciding when to sign up for an online make-up class-- I am considering a side job/hobby in the near future. 
• Reminiscing about my Senior year of high school as my sister Jocelyn will be graduating in a week, and my students will be graduating in two weeks. 
• Counting down the days to summer vacation--- 16 days btw haha

What are your thoughts for this Thursday?
