At the last minute, late last night, we invited my parents over for brunch. As per our new usual, we served up waffles, fruit, and coffee. Last time we had them over for waffles, we had breakfast sausage, but we forgot this time. Whoops! Its ok, no love lost, everything was still delicious. I LOVE the satisfaction of picking a good watermelon at the store 🙂
The morning was really nice. The food was good, as was the conversation, and there was a lot of activity with the kids having a fresh audience and lots of stories. Never a dull moment around here!
We discussed our plans for the day, and I’m willing to bet that my parents went home and accomplished at least a chunk of their list. We, however, did not! Hahaha! We had a good list of things we could do today, but nothing that we had to do today. We had talked about Brady running into the city to snag some materials that we couldn’t fit in the van yesterday. We had talked about cleaning the kitchen and bathrooms. We had talked about moving the furniture we want to paint into the garage and slapping the first coat of paint onto it. We had a reasonable list of things that we want to complete sooner than later, but nothing super pressing. And we did none of it!
What did we do? I booked a waxing appointment for Monday, and I ducked into the city to get the shaved side of my head re-shaved. I bought a new wallet. Brady re-arranged the garage so we’ll eventually have room to paint the furniture in there. He swept the floors. Thats about all we accomplished, but it was a really nice, relaxed day.
As the evening wound down, the kids wound up. Rowan cried from about 5:30 until 7:00. Solly had a burp we could not seem to get, so he cried more than usual as well. We’d pat his back, he’d fall asleep, we’d set him down, he’d burst out crying, we’d pick him up, and the cycle started over again. Thankfully, we FINALLY got that massive burp out as we were do diapers and jammies before bed. Now he’s settled. But besides the general din, supper of chicken wraps really hit the spot for everyone, so at least we’re all well fed!
Solly is just bottlin’ with Brady, and he’ll be ready for bed soon too. And then I’m so anticipating a soak!! I’ve been fairly diligent with my meds today, but I’ve been a little bit late with the last couple of doses, and while I’m still trucking on, its kind of crazy how I feel. I don’t even feel it in that same spot anymore. I feel pressure in my chest and shoulders, and I feel nauseous. No good! But this week will hopefully be a week filled with answers! Until then, though, I will keep on keeping on with all of my medication and hot baths, and live my life the best I can. With joy.
