The Daily Hailey

It has been a long week. None of us are sick anymore, but there are lingering symptoms that have kept us close to home for most of the week. But this morning, we Cher-ed coffee on the deck and enjoyed the positive temperatures, albeit a little cooler on the shady deck. The kids jumped on the trampoline and swung while we visited, but soon, it was too chilly and we called it. The morning was finished up with lots of stories on the couch. It was a very relaxed morning.

This afternoon, I had the pleasure of going to another counselling appointment. My mom drove me, which is a huge gift. Its almost like we go on a little date together, even though we run virtually no other errands, or do much extra. Counselling is important and I feel fortunate to be able to go! But anyone who has ever gone can relate to how exhausting it is! So we drove together, I had my appointment, and we drove back together. I really really enjoy her company. We have a really nice time together 💜 I am so fortunate to have her close by.

I came home to all my kids in the backyard, and Brady waiting with freshly brewed coffee. It was SO nice. We chatted about my appointment and I let down a little in the recliner.

My body is exhausted. I’m getting over sickness. I have my period. I went to counselling. It has every right to be a little on the fatigued side of things. I don’t care to make excuses, but stepping back, of course my body is spent. I earned this fatigue 😅

So while my natural instinct is to say we should go for a walk this evening, because the weather is SO beautiful, I think we’re going to keep it close to home. Kids will do some dishes and play outside until bedtime.

And then, for the first time in a while, Brady and I are going to eat after the kids go down 💜 Which is basically a date for us. I’m really looking forward to that!

I hope you all ended your week with a super enjoyable Friday. I know we sure did!

Sleep in tomorrow!
