I want to say that its not been an especially nutty day around here, except for the fact that I full on FORGOT to blog until right now! I napped through nap time, which is often when I settle in to blog, and we’ve been going since everyone woke up. I’m fully out of breath and have been for about a half hour, and I’ve got say, my attempt to relax and blog for a minute, reclined in bed, is not helping my breathing get easier. Whew! A quick rundown of the day goes like this!
Brady had to work this morning, which sucked, but happens from time to time. He got to work in the new show home, which is great and important and prestigious, but is also a bit of a pain in the butt because it gets to defy almost all of the rules and no one really gets to complain. So today, Brady HAD to be there. So he was, but was home before it was time for lunch.
I was so so tired for whatever reason, and once he and I had eaten lunch, I started to doze in and out. He left me to it, and woke me up when everyone else was up and ready for some errands.
I feel like I’m ALWAYS saying that we went to run errands, but food just doesn’t last too long around here. We had less than a jug of milk left, and it was our skim milk, not the kids milk. We had been out of bananas for a while already, and almost out of a ton of other things. It was time. The kids were happy to get out, too.
We hit Costco and Superstore, and filled up our van with all of the necessities. We officially became a family who buys FIVE jugs of milk at a time today. I can’t even believe it. We’ve been a “four jugs of milk” family for a while but the kids easily finish their two jugs before we finish ours. Now that we have the luxury of a second fridge, we can justify buying more to last longer! Woot!!!
We grabbed some quick drive-thru supper and headed over to drop in on my brother and his family for a few minutes. We made it home shortly before bedtime, after another local stop or two that we had forgotten about. We got the kids to bed nice and quick, and unpacked the groceries and got them where they belong. Its felt a bit hectic, but its all done now!
Just in time for music practice! Our “gig” is coming up soon and there is still a lot of practicing we need to get in! Thankfully, we have a handful of songs that don’t require the piano, so Carrie is over and we’re about to go hide in the basement and practice as much as we can. Hopefully the kids will fall asleep to the sweet sounds of improving music 😉 Wish us luck! And come see us play next weekend!!!
To clarify, no, we are not a real band. But we like to think we are…
