The Daily Hailey

I know that, compared to a lot of you, our life probably sounds fairly mundane and boring. We don’t do too much, really. Its something I’ve learned is necessary for me. If I have one thing I have to do each day, I feel busy. So going out every day is NOT my ideal. Its fun for a time, but it tires me out pretty quick. I’m just not that person who can run an incredibly busy life.

I feel like our family has been going and going for a few days now, and I was really looking forward to today being a quiet day at home. And thankfully, I got it! We had a few bumps along the road, as is to be expected. The kids aren’t used to lots of going out either, so they were pretty tired through most of the day. And Laela is working on FOUR molars now! That one ridiculous one is popped partway through but still isn’t all the way out, and the others are just starting to make bumps in the gums. Yet I can see the bright white of the eye teeth coming as well. So the kids were a bit hands on. But it was the best day for it, really. We spent time in our jammies, cuddling, eating snacks, and just enjoying not having to be anywhere.

As far as I know, tomorrow is another day of the same. I do really need to accomplish a few things around the house, but decided to give myself a free day today before I sort of have to try to be a grown up tomorrow. I did clean up the kitchen today though, and I even hand washed the few huge things that often sit beside the sink for days and days. So thats something, but a pretty small something. Wish me luck! Hopefully I’ll be more motivated tomorrow 🙂

Oh! One more thing! What do you guys do when you start to plan for Christmas? I know it still feels early for some of you, but it doesn’t to me! Do you go shopping with a list, already knowing what you’re going to buy for everyone? Or do you just wing it? I’m trying to decide just how organized I want to be going into the season 🙂
