I’ve felt pretty gross with all of the grossness going on around here, and waking up early with Solly didn’t help. BUT I made a plan for the day early on. My plan was to plunk my kids (and myself) in front of the tv, wrap us all in blankets, eat boring convenient bland food, and be lazy, completely unapologetically. I really think there is a place for these kinds of days, and today seemed like a good one. Through text, Brady supported my plan to forego the dishes/laundry/household chores and encouraged me to just rest up. It was a pretty perfect plan, if you ask me.
And then Laela had a sick poop. All over her feet and down her wall. A good mental picture, right? You should have seen it in real life. Or maybe you really shouldn’t have. She was so distraught. But after a quick bath, all four kids were at the table eating breakfast happily. So while bathing a weeping child, doing laundry, and washing walls wasn’t on my to-do list today, it woke me up a little bit and helped me blow past my sickness. Which felt good! Because not only was I feeling less sick, but my kids were cheered up, and I managed to accomplish things, but I still had no real goals/expectations for the day. I love that kind of morning.
Being that I felt pretty good as the morning wore in, I started compiling a to-do list. We have been so wrapped up in both sickness and deck building that everything else has sat on the back burner. We weren’t skipping big important things, but just small things that really should get done but kept being forgotten. I made a very rough list of things to do today, and someday soon, and appointments to book. Just a big mess of things. And it got SUPER overwhelming very quickly.
Sooooo that list sits now, haha! I did the dishes, so thats one thing. I washed the laundry, but haven’t folded it yet, so I’m taking half a point for that one, and I booked an appointment for next week to get my legs waxed, so thats another thing. Woot! Everything else can wait, at least until tonight.
Tomorrow is garage sale day here in town! Pleeeaaase let us all be healthy by then, because I love garage sale day SO MUCH! I love shopping second hand, and I love the social aspect of the day, as well. It would be such a bummer if we couldn’t venture out for fresh donuts, tacos in a bag, and inevitable shopping for little kitchen gadgets and such. Eek! Something fun to look forward to 🙂
Have a great weekend everyone!
