Brady was home today, thanks to some warranty work being rescheduled last minute, so we were able to do my morning routine together! It was a treat, and I know the kids loved having him home for breakfast.
I left shortly after breakfast, and headed to the city for a couple of appointments. I got my legs waxed, and as always, had a really nice visit with the girl who has the dirty job of my hair removal. Turns out we’ve both had a ton going on since we last saw each other, so there was much to share in our short half hour together. But time flies, and I was in and out very quickly!
I went to my hair place next, just to get the chunk on the one side shaved again. I’m aware that this is something I could do myself, but the guard on Brady’s trimmer broke a while back and I just don’t want to risk a patchy job. And frankly, the girl who does my hair says it would be priced as a bangs trim. So I enjoyed a lovely but very short appointment with her, paid her $5, and was on my way home WAY sooner than expected. I grabbed some junior bacon cheeseburgers for myself, Brady, and my mom for lunch, and drove home.
We ate our burgers, and my mom headed into the city to run a few errands of her own. Brady came downstairs with me and helped me pack a small suitcase and get organized for a trip I’m taking this weekend! I don’t think I’ve shared it on here yet, but I took advantage of an unbelievable seat sale a while back and booked an incredibly short but still very anticipated trip to Winnipeg! Just a very special trip to visit with my sister and brother in law 🙂 It has come at a perfect time, when I’m feeling a really solid need for a rest/getaway, but not to the point of anxiety or like I feel like I’m losing it. Just the perfect time. This is also the one weekend that would have worked pretty much anytime in the coming months, and I couldn’t have gone sooner either. Once again – perfect.
Brady and the kids drove me to the airport. After lots of hugs and kisses, I headed in and enjoyed a surprisingly short flight. I was greeted lovingly by my sister and brother in law, with lots of hugs and stories and the promise of an amazing supper at a restaurant downtown. They delivered, and I ate my body weight in AMAZING food. Now, we’re back at their home, and I’m safely cuddled away in their guest room. I have everything I need, though I am certainly missing my husband already, and my three little loves. But if you guys know anything about my husband, my kids are in incredibly capable hands. This trip will be SO quick, they’ll never notice that I’m gone, I’m sure.
Tomorrow brings the promise of a yummy brunch, and a little bit of afternoon shopping. Hopefully a coffee date and a soft pretzel (or two) are thrown in there for good measure. First, though, we sleep. Its hard to sleep without Brady. I miss you, hubs <3 See you soon! After pretzels…
