When I woke up this morning, I felt incredibly refreshed. I have felt incredibly tired the last few (or fifty-ish) mornings, but I think any mother can relate to waking up to your body being ready to wake up, rather than to squawking, angry kids who apparently needed you two minutes ago. Don’t get me wrong. I expect to wake up 360 mornings a year like that, and I am happy to wake up and serve my children. But it is sooo nice when you’re not needed immediately and you can wake up slowly. Right? Anyone else? Hopefully I don’t sound like a terrible person here…
I woke up to a beautifully cooled off house, with my fan blowing on me, and nice outside noises coming in through the windows. It was almost sad to close up all the windows, but necessary in order to keep the house cool. Plus, as many of you in Saskatchewan would know, we were on severe thunderstorm/tornado watch today. Of course, our town in particular didn’t see a single drop of rain, but there are still a few hours left in the day. I could go for a good storm.
I had a really good day with the kids. Laela is getting better and better at eating solid food, so she had bananas and peanut butter bread and Cheerios and carrots and all kinds of nummy things with us today. She’s a cutie pie. Dekker did great too, and was really nice and cuddly. While he is still adjusting to Laela’s mobility and not having everything to himself, we just remind him to be polite to Laela, and he is. He gives kisses and feeds her Cheerios, and even offered her his firetruck at one point. So we’re getting there!
Brady had a rocky start to his work day, but it all went really smoothly and he got out of there a bit sooner than he expected, which was great. He picked some groceries up for us before coming home. We had chicken strips and potatoes for supper, with our one fresh garden cucumber. Delicious. Once the kids went to bed, we watched the finale of the Next Great Baker. I won’t expand on it, since I know I would spoil the surprise for at least one friend, but we did that, anyway. Soon, we’ll be in a cool bath with hopefully a delicious snack. I really feel like chocolate pudding tonight. And not like a pudding cup. Goooood pudding. So I may just whip up some instant stuff before the bath, and hopefully that will do the trick.
I hope you guys had as great and comfy of a day as I did! Sleep deep!
I meant to say congratulations on baby#3! That is so exciting! I will be praying for an easy pregnancy and a good, not traumatic, delivery.
Thank you so much Deanne! Please do pray for those things every time you think of me, lol! Since getting pregnant, I’ve been remembering Laela delivery clearer and clearer, and I really need to find some peace in that!!
