Stuck at home...

Alice and I have been homebound the last couple days in an effort to increase the likelihood of potty success. Yesterday was the first day I've been trapped at home in a long time, and I actually enjoyed the excuse to experience the day at Alice's pace. Today has been a little more tedious, but I'm still enjoying the break. Here's a summary in the form of a song (perhaps this is cabin fever??). To the tune of Love at Home:

Alice goes through piles of clothes, when we're stuck at home.

Breathe through mouth now, not my nose, when we're stuck at home.

Dinner promptly served at 5, all the houseplants stay alive,

Wondering how I would get by, through a week at home.

Stuck at home, stuck at home,

Sweet and bitter in this sigh, "Now I'm stuck at home."

Alice snuggles me real close, when we're stuck at home.

Making progress, her pride shows, when we're stuck at home.

Pictures taken of our day, Mommy stops work just to play,

Maybe life won't fly away, while I'm stuck at home.

Stuck at home, stuck at home.

Maybe in one week we'll say, "Glad we stuck at home!"

The babe dons her bathing suit, Sunday shoes, and a coat to hunt for birds in the back yard.

  4. Echoing the other comments, but just wanted to add that I also have a dread of being stuck at home. We'll see how that changes come summer when the temperatures soar. :)
