Last week, I complained about briefly mentioned that I was starting to feel a bit crazy and like I needed a bit of space from my kids and my home. I was hoping our trip to Fairmont would wear some of that off, but sadly, it didn’t. A trip is wonderful, but it is work, and the kids were hands-on. Being home has been a nice time of quiet and getting back to our normal. This includes jammie days, breakfast for supper, as well as tantrums and screaming. And screaming. And screaming.
The kids have been great today, napping for long stretches. Brady mowed the lawn, and I went to pick up our mail downtown. Goooood mail that I’ll talk more about another day. We checked out the garden that my parents so lovingly put in while we were away (thank you sooooo much!!) and may have already found a sprout of some kind! Could be a weed, but I’m thinking not. It really has been a good day.
But the evening brought the screams of bath time again, and while it wasn’t even me doing the bathing, it just about sent me over. I think being sick makes it even harder to handle that type of thing, but I just need out.
So I’m taking it. Tomorrow. I was hoping to go away for a day when I was feeling a little better, but the week is already half over and Brady is back to work on Monday. So this is what I’ve got and I’ll take it! It won’t be an exciting day at all. Chiropractic, Superstore, Costco, and reaming out Telus for the debacle they put us through in BC. But its a few hours away with some loud music, food and drink whenever and wherever I want, and considerably less screaming. I. Cannot. Wait. I’m just praying that my cold will be almost gone by then so I can feel a bit more human than I have recently. I’m on the upswing at least!
I’m jealous. I really need a day off like that. Have fun!
I’ve learned in the last few months how important those days away are! Get one, somehow!
And thanks 🙂 I plan to enjoy myself to the fullest!
