Brady has some time off this week, which is good and bad. We had a LONG stretch there with little to no work, and I’ll admit that there are some nerves in having him home for a stretch now. I think we both feel that way. Yet, on another hand, he has been going nonstop for a couple of months now and I’ve missed him dreadfully. In a perfect world, I’d love to spend these days at home with Brady, eating brunch together mid-morning, tag teaming with the kids, taking our time, maaaybe going out once or twice as needed and wanted. Definitely not going out in random mid-April blizzards. But as many of you can attest to, him being home means its WAY easier to get things done! So, for the last two days, we have been CRUSHING things off of our list!
We’ve spent the last two days running around like crazy people. Today we drove to the city twice, and made it home just in time to get Dekker from school.
In the last two days, we made our first baby party purchases, rented a guitar, bought some small reno materials, as well as a canopy for the deck from Home Depot, got my rings cleaned, had my blood taken, replaced my phone screen protector, made a few returns, took in our recycling, found some dress shirts for the little boys for an upcoming event, purchased groceries, and bought the LAST thing the kids need for spring to finally spring – some pretty sandals for Laela.
Its the end of the second errand day, and to sum it all up, everything is wet. Everything. My mukluks soaked through at our first stop today. The kids hair is all messy an tangly from the wind and snow. Dekkers outerwear is SOAKED from recesses at school. Everything smells like wet dog in our house. Hopefully its not just us.
After two immensely productive days, my back has perhaps never been angrier. My chiropractic treatment today was one of those special ones that will likely make me feel worse before I feel better. Hopefully tomorrow hurts slightly less than this last week has. Wish me luck for my soak and sleep. I need it all to reset, because tomorrow is another busy day! This relaxing family week sure looks different than it would’ve a few years ago, haha!
