I was going to have blogged by mid-morning, buuut plans change so often, and today was one of those days! So instead, here is a quick breakdown of the day.
I spent the morning, legit, a bundle of tears. I discovered that all of a sudden, neither of the possible baby party dates were going to work 🙁 I was going to have to choose between INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT people in my life being there, and I couldn’t imagine my party without them all there. I know there is always need for give and take, but I couldn’t “give” up these people. I cried a lot, had some short lived but serious anxiety, and then someone heroically changed their schedule and the party can move forward once again! But WHEW! That took the wind out of my sales for a minute there! Yikes!
Brady pulled a half day (planned in advance) so I could go to my prenatal appointment that was poorly scheduled too close to school pickup, and he stayed home to get Dekker.
I had my prenatal, which I’ll talk more about in Monday’s series post, but all is pretty much well. I may have low hemoglobin, but apparently cold hands screw test results up all the time, and its still cold out, sooooo I have to schedule yet more bloodwork in the near future. Good thing Brady has some breathing room next week! Boy do we need it!
I made it back home about five minutes after school let out, picked up the family, and we drove back in for some errands.
Walmart happened. Dekker and Laela got summer sandals. Dekker got a lifejacket. We got groceries.
We had McDonalds supper in Walmart, which Brady and I HATE doing but the kids DREAM about. They were happy. I’m still hungry.
We nixed our idea of Superstore and decided to continue around to a few places in search of a canopy/gazebo for our deck. Canadian Tire happened. Rona happened.
It was already the kids bedtime, so we headed home, even though there was so much more we could’ve done. We’ll have other chances soon. But today was a fun start. We are all SO ready for summer. SOOOOO ready!
Quick stop for gas at Costco, and I ran in for a few staples we were out of. Cheese strings and spaghetti sauce were on sale! I stumbled upon bath bombs, also. I’ll let you know how those go.
Made it home. Dekker slept the whole way home, so who knows when he’ll fall asleep next. Good thing tomorrow is Saturday! The other kids were a mix of hyperactivity and exhaustion. Funny how those often look the same 😉
Saturdaaaaay! I’m so ready!
