The Daily Hailey

Do you know that feeling that you get when you dream so much that it feels like you got no rest whatsoever? Crappy, hey? I slept great last night, but around 6:00am, Brady accidentally dropped a full travel mug on our hard kitchen floor. I jolted awake and went to check out the situation. Luckily, nothing had spilled (thank you, Contigo) but it sure woke me with a start. Good news for me was I successfully fell back to sleep in decent time, but I dreamed a lot, and felt waaay more groggy than usual when I woke up. I was going to make this whole post about that dream, since it involved me, Jerilee, a double wedding, and lots and lots of nervous diarrhea, but I figured no one wanted to actually hear about that. So, anyway, that was the case, and I was pretty much a zombie upon waking up.

Elvira left for home this morning, so my groggy self somehow found my way into the kitchen to turn on the Keurig and feed my children. The Keurig side of our water cooler quit last night, which was a total bummer, so Brady had brought up our old countertop machine to use this morning. Good thing we didn’t chuck that! Of course, when I actually tried to make a coffee, it sat and grunted and groaned but didn’t brew. This was the whole reason we got the water cooler with the Keurig side!!! Luckily, I jimmied the little machine back to life and was able to make coffee for both myself and my mother in law. We drank coffee and ate cereal (fancy, I know) before Elvira gave hugs to the kidlets and myself, and headed out on the road. I’m glad she could come before *shudder* the snow flies.

Quick fun fact! After Elvira left, I went to make Laela a bottle using our water dispenser and discovered that it wasn’t just the Keurig that wasn’t working, but the hot water all together! I told Brady, he reset a little switch, and we’re back in business 🙂 I win! Me so handy.

The kids and I went downstairs to play and, in all honesty, all three of us were just wiped for some reason. Maybe they lulled earlier this morning too with the travel mug crash, but they looked just finished, and it wasn’t even lunch time. So we turned on the tv and were lazy buttheads all day. It was great. We had apples and party mix for lunch, and everyone went down for their nap a half hour early. It was a nice, low key, accomplished not a blessed thing kind of day.

Brady finished work at a good time, ran a few errands, and came home with a pumpkin spice latte for me. Something thats a bummer for me is that coffee gives me a bit of a tummy ache when I’m pregnant :/ However, those things are worth a bit of that! We drank our coffees and watched some Netflix until the kids woke up, and then we all had supper together.

The kids are now tucked away, the bath is run, and I’m looking forward to relaxing and hopefully falling asleep earlier than usual. I’ve been so wide awake these last couple of nights, but I feel tired now, and I hope it carries over.
