The Daily Hailey

I will admit, going from a spontaneous birthday party with Jerilee yesterday, to being alone today felt really, really alone. What I would have done for some company!! Dekker asked for his auntie aaaaall day. It seemed to be a bit of a day where I was just sort of on edge. All. Day. The kids were whining fairly non-stop, and everyone was overheated and feeling gross. Not our best day.

One notable thing that happened today was that Dekker finally found his K sound!!! This is a huge bonus when ones name is Dekker and not Detter. I was so excited, and went over every word with him that I could think of that he often mispronounces this way, and we celebrated each correct pronunciation with lots of hooting and hollering and high fiving. Book. Woohoo!!! Circle. Woohoo!!! Work. Woohoo!!! Snack. Woohoo!!! Stickers. Woohoo!!! Sooo many words, all said right. Its cool that he has developed this sound on his own, without me getting on his case. Success!

Other than that, today was a bit rough. I had good friends that I texted a bit here and there, and a loving husband who came home, plucked the crying children from my surroundings, and actually brought me supper downstairs so I could just have some peace. I did surface and spend the last half hour before bedtime with everyone, and helped get the kids down. But they are now tucked in and Brady is headed out to do some mowing. 

I can happily say that I won’t be a downer much longer. I’m sure a lot of you are getting bored with my lame sauce attitude, and I promise you I’m doing what I can to change it. But tomorrow, Brady has worked his butt off to give me a few hours away. I know I had some away on Saturday, but I haven’t had my hair done since mid-May and my hair girl only works on weekdays during common work hours. So this is the only way I can get my hair redone. I’m really looking forward to a couple of hours in her chair, getting beautified. After receiving an awkward amount of hate on the last cut, I’m thinking I’m not going to make my ideas public this time, haha! I’ll do as I want and hopefully people can keep their rude comments to themselves. Bambi rule, ok? Feel free to hate it, just not to my face, to my inbox, or to my husbands face. Not ok.

After my appointment tomorrow, hopefully I’ll get in with Dr. Mike as well, and then I have a few little errands to run. An entire afternoon, left to my own devices!!! I’m pretty sure I have tons to do tomorrow and won’t really get to move slowly, but at least its a change of scenery, and thats what my sanity needs right now. 

So yay for tomorrow!!! Today wasn’t so hot but I’m sooo excited to go on a date with my new purse tomorrow. She needs a name…
