Instead of Writing Posts

I have no idea where the last two weeks have gone.  Nearly every night I grab the laptop, sit down on the couch and fight to stay awake.  And I lose.  And that is why this blog has been so quiet.
Bill is now coaching lacrosse six days per week.  I'm doing 10 -12 tutoring appointments in four or five nights per week.  I've resumed teaching SAT classes twice a week.  Will is still swimming and skating.  Liam turned seven months old and is starting to sit up on his own.  Things around here are busy and time is flying.
Here are 25 things (in no particular order) that I've done in the last 2 weeks instead of writing posts.
1)  Playing in the snow.
2)  Falling asleep on the couch.
3)  Reteaching myself the calculus/precalculus that I need for tutoring.  
4)  Getting up at 5 am to do The 30-Day Shred before the kids wake up. 
5)  Cooking, dishes, laundry... and repeat.
6)  Making transformers out of Legos, out of K'nex, out of TinkerToys, out of blocks, out of Play-doh...
7)  Ice skating with Will and Bill.
8)  Checking Facebook and email.
9)  Watching way too much television.
10)  Getting into one of my old pairs of jeans... finally.
11)  Drinking coffee.
12)  Taking pictures.
13)  Requesting an additional year of maternity leave from teaching.
14)  Daydreaming about summer vacation.
15)  Missing Bill.
16)  Reminding Will to wash his hands and to stop picking his nose.
17)  Changing diapers.
18)  Protecting Liam from Will's 'hugs' and 'kisses'.
19)  Coughing.
20)  Battling Will's mystery fever.
21)  Debating whether or not to call the pediatrician.
22)  Singing to Liam in an effort to quell the whining.
23)  Struggling to eat better and succumbing to Peanut M&Ms.
24)  Searching for a new haircut.
25)  Teaching Will to brush his teeth and spit with real toothpaste.

Note to Self

For future reference:
Leave no clean, folded laundry unattended.

What? Why? When? Where? Who?

What was I thinking when I committed to a cookie exchange when I have tutoring every night this week and a teething baby attached to my hip during every waking hour?
Why am I on the computer when I should be writing out Christmas cards, doing laundry or hey, baking cookies?
When will I get motivated enough to eat right, exercise and finally fit into my pre-baby clothes?
Where can I find a temporary, decent-looking hairstyle that will allow me to grow out these funky layers?
Who wants to babysit on Friday night so Bill and I can finish our Christmas shopping?
