I’ve mentioned it on here a few times, but seriously, if you haven’t tried out the pretzel pizza from Little Caesars yet, you need to. Its unbelievable! Brady is driving home with some right now so I will make this quick!
Today sort of got a hold of me. I did a lot of crying today. For those of you who knew me years ago, I have always been an easy weeper, and I come by it honestly. Thanks, mom 😉 I’ve never been embarrassed about it. I feel like crying is incredibly healthy and freeing and we should all do it once in a while. However, its also not a secret that I’m far from the best mental and emotional health that I’ve ever been in. While I feel emotional and I tear up often enough, I rarely have a good cry anymore. I actually wish I did more often. It felt so much better. Anyway, I chatted with my mom on the phone today and through all of my hacking and snotting, I bawled my face off. I blubbered about all kinds of things that are and are not important, and while I’m not sure she could even hear everything I was saying, she prayed for me and let me cry. It met a fabulous need for me and weirdly, I feel the healthiest I’ve felt in weeks! Like even cold wise! So thank you, mom, for taking care of me still. I hope to do the same for my kids as they grow up.
After getting my weepfest out of the way, I cuddled with and fed my children before putting them down for a nap. That was pretty seamless today, so that was really nice! Then I decided to spend this afternoon making plans, and I’m pleased to report that there isn’t tons and tons left to do. I’ll talk a bit more about having to pick priorities and stuff soon, but not today. Some things just got nixed off of the list, and it now seems a lot less ominous. I’m sad to lose a few of those things, but mostly I think its a pride thing, and having to admit defeat somehow. So I will now openly admit it! I choose family time and going for walks and getting well and wrapping presents over baking and cleaning and spotless planning and all of those other fabulous things. Doesn’t List A sound like way more fun anyway?!
This week, I’ll need to make one more trip to the city, which will be nice and short and enjoyable for all involved. I have to buy a few gifts and a couple of other things that I needed to buy before Christmas but didn’t get to yesterday. And then at home, I need to finish wrapping/labelling gifts, go laundry, and pack for our trip. Done! Totally doable, right? Right?!?!?!
I’m so ready to be eating my pizza now. C’mon home, hubs! The kids and I are hungry for PIZZA!!!
Seriously, you’d think I have shares in the stuff, or like I was being paid out some other way. But you neeeeed to eat this pizza.
