It was a nice morning.
Brady was home today, so he got up in the morning to get Dekker breakfast before school while I doddled and took a little longer to wake up. When I brought Dekker to school, Kim has brought me a bag of lemon biscotti that she had excess of and knew I would love. Not only do I love biscotti, but I really love lemon, so it was a pretty lovely gift. When I got home, Brady had made some coffee, and we tucked back up in bed for an episode of our current show with our treats. It was a lovely kick off.
The rest of the morning was spent planning a few things. Brady has been working hard to figure out some details on the deck we’re planning to build. As an aside, we’re planning on building it as soon as humanly possible, so if anyone is itching to participate and help us blitz it, consider yourselves invited and appreciated! As he worked on some of that, I did some basic planning on a blog series I’m cooking up for you guys. Ok, I’m mostly cooking it up for myself, let’s be honest. But I spent some time trying to come up with a proper name for it, and some general ideas to go along with it. It is certainly not all the way arranged but I don’t think it’ll be smooth until I’m actually posting it! So hopefully soon 🙂 It felt good to get some of it at least listed out.
It was a good afternoon as well.
A friend of mine invited me over for a visit this afternoon. I feel like we’ve talked about getting together for like two years, and just haven’t made it happen, haha! Well we FINALLY did, and with Brady home for the day, I left the kids at home and just went on my own. It was so nice to just sit and sip tea together and catch up a bit. We talked family and parenting and miscarriages and work and all kinds of things. It was so so nice and relaxed and comfortable. It was pretty much an ideal afternoon. She had one little munchkin up, roaming around the house, boycotting his nap, but he was a cute little addition to our afternoon of mom talk. I arrived there right as her other kid was going down for a nap, and I left when it was time to get Deks from school.
Things bode well for the evening as well.
Brady baked a dessert with Laela while I was out, so we have a new cake to look forward to. That and hopefully a relaxed supper and evening.
Brady is back to work tomorrow, and I’m feeling a bit of nerves towards a long week. Brady is working Good Friday and Saturday, which is a bummer. That kind of thing is always hard for me to forget going into a week, and I get grouchy :/ I know, its my own fault. But I know Brady is working those days so he can have a longer stretch off next week, which I greatly appreciate. Just hard getting there. I like my Saturdays with my husband.
I think I can hear Rowan starting to wake up, so thats my cue! I hope you’re all enjoying the sunshine as much as I am. I officially broke the shorts out!
