I did a lot of that today. After my hair and chiropractic appointments this morning, I picked up the family and drove us halfway to our destination for this weekend. Five hours. Not so bad. It was a relatively meltdown free drive, which is something I am very thankful for! After a morning away, the quiet and uneventful trip was just what I needed for my sanity.
The morning was great, tho. I sat at the salon for two hours and came out with another new look. I feel like this one might be less popular than others I’ve come out with, but it feels amazing and I’m so happy that I’ll have it during summer 🙂
I often don’t take the full two hours allotted for a cut and color but today, for some reason, I did. So while I had planned to do a bit of shopping I between appointments, instead I rushed across the city, ducked into superstore for a few necessities for this weekend (children’s Tylenol, swim diapers, etc) and then made it to the chiropractor just in time. Dr mike always leaves me feeling better in my body and mind. As usual, his treatment was exactly what I needed, and he showered me with compliments on my new hair and glasses most of our visit. He also asked a bit about my history with brady and how we met. He really backed us up as a couple, saying we were both wonderful people who were obviously willing to put in the work that is needed to make a relationship function. I don’t know why, but I felt very encouraged by that. He doesn’t know us, and wouldn’t have to say anything like that, but it also doesn’t sound like something he’d say to everyone. It was really sweet.
After my appointment, I hit up old navy for some skinny long denim shorts, and then headed back home. Those few hours to myself were sooo nice and most definitely needed. They were healing.
Of course, having Dekker wail for a half hour before bedtime didn’t help with that one bit but he calmed right before it was time to go down and we could give hugs and kisses and loves. No one likes to go to bed with bad feelings.
We’re settled in with my brother and sister in law and their two boys now, just getting all the kidlets off to bed. Hopefully we get in a little bit of visiting before it’s time for us to hit the hay as well!
On that note, I am off! Sleep sweet.
