It has been another appointment-heavy week, but today marked the last one! At least for now, haha! Brady took a few hours off this morning so we could go in together. But first, we did the standard morning stuff together 🙂
The kids got up and ready for school, and to the breakfast table. While some of the kids set the table, Rowan brought me his contact stuff and I got his lens in! It wasn’t our first try, but that was on me. Contacts don’t form to my finger the way they used to, but they really perch on the surface! So being that I have to see Rowan’s face in order to put his contact in, I have to tip it up, and it kept falling off my finger. Gah! But we got it there after maybe three tries, and then he sat for breakfast!
While the kids ate, we went over the days plans. One kid had skating. One kid had curling. One kid had preschool. Laela needed to be two places at once after school, both for Frozen Jr, so unfortunately I told her she needed to ask around and see where was best for her to be. It was ok with her, though. She felt like a rockstar.
After food came medicine, and all the brushing and readying still left to do. Backpacks got lunches and water bottles loaded up. Dishes got done. The little time left to spare was spent loudly in the basement, haha! And then we kicked them out!
And as the kids walked down the driveway, my mom walked up it! She was on the hook to take Wavy to preschool today so Brady and I could run in for our appointment! Thank you SO MUCH, mom! 💜
Our appointment started a little late, but it was shorter than anticipated, and we were out in time to grab coffee, and still pick up Waverly from school! So we did! We had the pleasure of watching her run nonstop with her friends, being a complete goof, as usual. She was in a very tackly mood, it seemed, and was trying to wrestle everyone! It was REALLY funny to watch, because thankfully, her friends were handling her boundless energy really well. Though I did finally step in and call to her “Wavy, please stop sitting on your friends,” at which the other parents laughed. So, win.
Brady dropped us off at home before heading back to work. Wavy and I lunched, and the morning was officially DONE! What a big one! Wow!! But it was really good too 🙂 No complaints at all! It feels good to be growing my capacity again, and learning when and where I can push myself. Thank you Lord for discernment.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have a blanket pattern I’m testing for a designer and I think I’ll be able to finish it today!!!! Off I go!
