I was feeling pretty great yesterday, and I’m happy to say the day finished out really well.
I had to duck out for a couple of hours in the afternoon, but I caught a little glimpse of Jerilee in there, since she SO generously agreed to hang with the kiddos while I was away. I got back home, and the big kids were home from school. Jerilee had been on the ball, so some reading was already in the works and backpacks were being taken care of. She had even checked on my crock pot supper and stirred it for me one or twice. But she didn’t stay long. I hope we hang out together for real soon!
Brady got home a little later than usual, but we’re so eager for work, no one was mad about it. Its great that it happened on a day where I was on the ball and had supper made in advance. Brady makes it very easy for me to not always have a hot supper on the table at an exact time, but he’s so appreciative and loving about it when I do. Pretty much immediately upon arrival, I left for about a half hour or so, but I was back in time to eat supper with my family. And WOW, guys, I haven’t made my honey chicken in a while, and it was SO GOOD! Way better than it used to be, even! YUM!
I helped the kids get to bed, which felt good. Bedtime around here is a bit of a marathon, not because of attitudes but just sheer numbers. It still felt awesome 🙂 Not too long after that, I had a long overdue phone date with a friend. Then a soak and a chunk of a show with Brady.
It was a FULL, GLORIOUS day! I had hoped to sneak some outside time into the day, too, but I’m confident our day was as full as it could possibly be, and it was done well! I can’t say that every day, but I sure could yesterday, and that felt great.
Today is another day at home with the little kids!
Tis the season for lightness.
I’m ready for it. Winter was short but brutal. Bring on the sun, the vitamin D, and the natural exercise that goes with biking, walking, playgrounds, and tag. Bring on the fresh air! *deep breath in, deep breath out*
