My birthday yesterday was actually a lot of fun. I truly expected the day to kind of skirt on by and to eat a nice supper with my family. The end. I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of love showered down in the form of words, gifts, food, time spent and effort made š Goodness, I am SO blessed.
With yesterday being a nice low key kind of day, today needed to be a bit more productive. But I had accomplices.
Me, Andy Bernard, and Beard Guy hit the ground running! While the babies slept in, the other kids went outside for a bit, and I made some plans for the day. I had a few things bothering me that needed doing, but there were parts of them that I needed my bedroom for. And that’s super challenging when you can only really work when the babies are asleep, and when two of them sleep in your room. *sigh*
The kids were done outside a lot sooner than I would’ve expected or preferred, so some of them became my helpers š And while they helped me, we got some stuff cleaned up that’s been staring at me for a while! And when the babies woke up for the day, some of my kids hung with them while they had their breakfast so I could do some of the work in my room!!! Woohoo!! I dug through some big parcels from Amazon and dispersed things where they needed to go. Christmas gifts got boxed back up. School supplies got added to the huge box, waiting for the final items to arrive. Baby shoes went into the cubbies in the garage. And some current household items got set up in their homes. This was my favorite new setup š
Now, the water bottles and travel mugs won’t be pre-moistened by the Morsel for us! š¤£š¤¤
Its been an altogether productive but not chaotic day. I feel pretty good about it. I’m hopeful that we can do a bit more once Brady is home. After radiation. If he’s up for it. And the kids aren’t nuts. Lol! Lots of factors, I suppose! We’ll have to see. Maybe we’ll *gasp* rest!!!
