The Daily Hailey

My plan for today was to go to the city, get my hair done, and go home. I ran every errand in the book yesterday and was going to do as few other errands as possible today. But as so often happened, plans change, and they changed for the waaay better!

I had my hair appointment at 9:30 this morning, and its aaaaall different! Its back to blonde, and its a longer style than I’ve purposefully had in a while. Very grown up 😉 I like it a lot. Its a nice change. It doesn’t meet Dekkers ponytail criteria but I’m sure we’ll get there eventually. After my appointment, I decided to go for a “treat” and go to the south Value Village location. I haven’t gone in a while and my last VV shop was a big success.

Today was good too! Not my best, but fun. I found Brady a couple of work shirts, a rocking/ugly/wonderful pair of sandals for next summer, and the BEST find was some dishes to match my moms set!!! Thats always such a big win. I’ve found her big plates once in the past but I found four soup bowls today, which is actually pretty awesome! So I picked up some coffees on the way and went to drop them off to my mom.

After I accidentally kept staying for a couple of hours, we decided to run a few errands together. We called our husbands and confirmed that we were going to the city to look at Fabricland while the 50% off sale was on. My mom sews these big beautiful receiving blankets for all the new grandbabies, so we went to find flannel, and actually found more than we thought! There was a lot of Christmas themed stuff, which wasn’t so much what we were going for, but there was lots of cute chevron and plaids and really nice thick material. Yay for baby Jim being in a blanket that can actually be wrapped around his inevitable massive bulk!

We decided to hit up Superstore for a few groceries for her afterwards. We’re going to be over tomorrow for Halloween, and since we were gone and then they were gone, Bradys birthday sort of got missed, so we’re adding that to the mix. Therefore, special food was purchased, as well as bedtime snacks for Brady and I. Yum. Chocolate covered raisins.

And then, of course, it was too late to go home and not have eaten!! So we ducked into a nearby restaurant for supper. I don’t remember the last time my mom and I went on a date without husbands or my kids! We spend lots of time together with everyone, but not often just the two of us, so that was delightful. We just caught up. We talked about the baby and about plans for Christmas, and the upcoming year. I love her. (Ya, you, crazy mama!)

We finally decided that it was time to head home, which was kind of sad, but we’ll see each other tomorrow, so my withdrawal shouldn’t last too long. Its been a wonderful day, but also strange, in the way that Dekker and Laela weren’t up when I left in the morning, and they were in bed before I got home. Weird!! That happens so rarely, but I really loved today, and will see their beautiful faces much too early tomorrow morning, I’m sure. That will also be a good day. Trick or treating!!!
