This morning started a bit rocky for me, and I planned to write a post about how positively smitten I am with each child I have been blessed with. Instead, I decided that I don’t have to prove anything to anyone but myself, and changed my attitude, so I could share positivity with aforementioned children.
Spontaneously, a Facebook post by a friend indicated that she was nearing the point of tearing her hair out, so I invited her out for the day. It was SO NICE to have someone to talk to in the day, plus, she brought kids for my kids to play with! As usual, Dekker took a while to warm up, so for quite a while, I had both Dekker and Laela laying across me lap or sitting beside me on the couch while the others played. I heart my antisocial kids, lol! Then finally picked up a bit, and it was a riot of laughter, screeching, and not even too much scrapping!! It was a lot of fun to have so much activity in one place. SO thankful for our AC unit, whew! That was a sweaty sweaty place!
Halfway through the afternoon, Hailey and her kids left for home, and Brady arrived maybe a half hour later. He settled in and we fed the kids and played a bit before our evening played out! Jerilee came for our weekly Bachelorette date. We’re great hosts, so we waited until the kids went down before serving our guest and ourselves a supper of nachos and wings. Bad hosts or not, it was delicious. The Bachelorette was, of course, trashy and addictive, but always good for a laugh and a face palm.
Now, Jerilee is on her way home and we’re settling in for the night. I’m loving how much I have going on this week in the way of seeing friends and socializing. I haven’t felt terribly cabin fevery recently, and thats something I’ve struggled with in the last year or so. I’m so very thankful for my friends and family.
I’m a bit disappointed that Brady has to work tomorrow, if I’m being honest. We often don’t know about stat holidays, because when you’re self employed, they don’t really mean too much. You work if there’s work. And thats ok. I’m very happy he has so much work!! I just love his company as well <3
