The Daily Hailey

I’ve so enjoyed these last few days of getting out of the house. Brady has happily watched the kids and worked on patching the walls up in preparation for painting, and I’ve been able to run around and have some fun, do some shopping, and get to my appointments. However, after now four days of it, I am home and so ready to be! My body is feeling these last few days, and I can’t seem to convince it that it was all worth it. Luckily, I know it was.

I was nervous about leaving today, since the snow has started up again and the highway forecasts weren’t looking good, but I braved them anyway, and they weren’t even slick. I watched very closely, of course, but was comfortable being on cruise. I don’t like winter driving at all, so you can understand that if I was on cruise, you would be too.

My first stop was meeting a mortgage broker and talking numbers for a bit. I wish Brady could have been there too, but it wouldn’t have worked too well with both kids in her teeny little office anyway. After our meeting, I got a bit stuck trying to get my van from its parking space, but eventually surfaced and headed to my next stop.

My much needed hair appointment has finally arrived! However, I was unreasonably early thanks to my morning meeting, so I perused Target. Canada got Target recently and it managed to tank in just under two years, so they’re selling out. The sales aren’t particularly awesome yet, but all cosmetics are 30% off, and I do love some new makeup, if you hadn’t figured it out, so I walked through and picked out a few new things to try. I managed to leave Target with a car seat toy for the baby, as well as a lip gloss, lipstick, an eyeshadow palette, mascara, a nail buffer, and a highlighting powder, and I paid around $50. It definitely could have been worse! I was a grown up and put stuff back even! Go me!

I had about a half hour left before my hair appointment so instead of continuing to shop for things I couldn’t justify buying, I went for lunch. I got a big scoop of broccoli pasta salad from the deli at Safeway and kept with the healthy theme by washing it down with a caramel frapp from Starbucks. I haven’t had a frapp in a really long time, and it was so delicious. I enjoyed my food and made it to my appointment with time to spare 🙂 I love a good hair appointment, and it had been a while, so I really enjoyed my two hours in the chair. I came out with exactly what I wanted, and even though I know lots of you aren’t fans of the style, I really really am, so I’m fully thrilled. I left feeling fresh and pretty.

I quickly stopped to buy some milk before heading home, but then was on my way. Once again, the internet boasted of horrible winter driving conditions, but the highways were clear. I came home to my happy, patching husband and the kids just lulling awake. We had some pizza together and a good bedtime. I’m so happy to be home with the fam, and I think the kids missed me a bit, too. Lots of really snuggly hugs <3 I can’t believe we’ll have another one to hug so soon!!

Until then, my uterus will hug him. Over and over and over again…
