I’m trying not to do so much writing about the day before on here, but its tricky not to when I vastly prefer writing in the morning. So bear with me, if you will, while I tell you about yesterday!
It was going to be a pretty average day. Nothing too crazy. The one thing on the books was that Cher was coming for lunch, so that was a fun, low pressure thing to look forward to. Its always nice to break the day up with a friend. In the morning, however, I became a touch overwhelmed with my growing list of things that needed doing/buying before the weekend. My initial count showed that I needed 14 things (that number grew significantly) from about six different places. I talked to Brady a bit about it and he suggested we run errands in the late afternoon/evening, and wipe as much off of my list as possible. So we planned for that.
Cher came by around 11:00 ish, I believe, and I got the kids and the two of us lunch while she snuggled Wavy for a bit. We ate egg salad scooped on Doritos, because we’re grownups and we can. Don’t knock it until you’ve tried it!
We both had somewhere to be that afternoon, so right around the time she left, my mom and my aunt who happens to be out visiting popped by! It worked out so perfectly 🙂 I don’t remember the last time I saw my aunt, but I know for sure she hadn’t met Wavy or Solly. Maaaybe Rowan, when he was still itty bitty?? I’m not sure. But she fit in beautifully with the crew, and the three of us ladies had a really nice visit. I wish they could’ve stayed longer, but they headed back out on their walk, and not ten minutes later, it was time to get the kids dressed and head out to meet Brady in the city.
I won’t bore you with the details. We went to SO MANY PLACES. We got lots of stuff done and some information about the things that we couldn’t complete. Felt super productive. Wavy made a fuss only once, for milk, so we helped her with that and carried on.
While we were away in the evening, Jerilee was at our place getting some work done. I LOVE that. That kind of thing makes me feel like our house is homey for others, not just us. On our way out of the city, we grabbed some Subway for ourselves and for Jerilee, and headed home. After putting the kids down and putting groceries away, the three of us settled in for an evening of the Bachelorette finale and some laptop reloading. Can you guess who did what? Hahaha! Was entertaining for everyone in different ways 😉
The day turned out so full and so great. I just love days like that, where you’re kind of always moving, and never bored, but happy pretty much the whole time.
Today has been busy, too, and the evening will once again be filled with company that we are very much looking forward to seeing! What a great way to kick off the weekend!
