The Daily Hailey

I feel like I’ve been leading a super boring life so far this year. I have nothing to blog about these days, so my posts are short and boring. I’ve felt super discouraged about my crocheting recently as well so I haven’t made anything in a couple of weeks. And now its too cold to be outside at all so I haven’t surfaced from my home! I’m starting to get cabin fever.

Today was good though. Dekker woke up late in the morning and we had breakfast together. Brady picked up the amazing granola from Costco yesterday when he was getting milk, so I had it for breakfast. SO amazing! If you haven’t ever tried it, its in the section of stuff they mix up there, with the buns and cookies. Go buy some. Dekker and I spent a couple of hours playing the basement after that. So many of his toys are missing. I’ve looked under couches and inside boxes with very little success. I guess this is where that kind of thing begins. Hiding stuff. Oh well, just stacking cups that I’ve noticed.

Brady went to work at stupid o’clock so he came hope mid-afternoon! I love it so much when his days can play out like that. I mean, he tries to go to work nice and early so he can come home and see us. If he works until 5, he’s home by 6, and Dekker is going to bed around 8. So he earlier the better. But of course, going in early doesn’t always work out that way. Sometimes there is just tons of work to be done, so he has to work longer. Whatever. Today is whats important, and today he came home early 🙂 He’s even boilng up some perogies for us right now. Delicious!

Being in the kitchen a bit today, doing dishes, I realized a couple of things. One is that we are at the end of yummy homemade sweets. I’ve been craving brownies, so perhaps I’ll make some soon again. I feel bad having too many sweets in my house when I don’t make as many meals, haha! Another thing I realized is that we’re out of most of our food. I mean, no, we’re not. We have tons of food, and are completely and utterly blessed. But we’re out of apples, bananas, oranges, yogurt, sandwich meat, cheese, etc. Everyday things, whether for Dekker or for Brady’s lunches. Therefore, despite the cold and the threats of blizzard conditions tomorrow, its time to grocery shop. Maybe not my smartest plan, but we need to eat and I NEED to get out of my house. So I’m thinking shopping tomorrow, then maybe the day after I’ll bake? Yes, that question mark is there on purpose. If I don’t bake, or even if I do, I think I’m going to do a solid tidy of my house. Dekkers toys are always all over the place. I’m going to purchase some tubs tomorrow so I can put the toys away at night and he can pull them all out again the next day. I know, most of you moms probably already do that, for the sake of sanity. I’m comfortable in the untidiness of my sons toys, but it would also be nice to be able to walk through my house without tripping. So, tomorrow I’ll purchase whatever baking ingredients I don’t already have, and tubs, and that should keep me occupied for another day 🙂 YAY!

Perogie time for me! Gotta add those to my grocery list…
