My morning started off by making lunch for Meg and Jacks:
It was my turn to drive carpool. I generally wear more workout type clothing to drive them to school, but that morning I was wearing what were most decidedly pajamas. I sincerely hoped I would have no car problems that would require me to exit my car.
You may remember that about a month ago I had the stomach flu. Well it just so happened that that day I had eaten salmon for lunch and Chipotle for dinner (my 2 favorite things!). Since then I haven't been able to fathom eating salmon, so my new obsession is tuna fish sandwiches. Yesterday morning was no exception:
Sade and I then got ready and headed out to pre-school. She enjoys walking along the border of the yard. It is time consuming and I don't always allow it.
While at pre-school I ran errands. I went to the bank, returned a skirt to Justice, and visited my most hated place: THE POST OFFICE. I avoid it at all costs, and if there is even the remotest possibility Eric can go for me, I make him. Unfortunately he was out of town, so I had no choice.
I was in and out in less than 5 minutes.
After running errands I read in the car for a bit. I try and read at least 10 pages of the Bible a day, but it occasionally gets pushed to the side when I discover a book that I adore. Which happened last week. Nevertheless I am back on Bible reading track.
By the way, the book from last week was The Lovely Bones. I recommend it!
Pre-school pick up. One of my favorite parts of the day is when I walk in to pick up Sade and she says, "I see my Mom!" Then she jumps up and waits in line for her Jelly Bean (which she never eats, and we just throw away).
My afternoon consisted of cleaning and laundry. I have a new laundry system that is so far working out for me. I only do laundry once a week. I do it all day, dump it all on the couch, and then sit down and fold it all at once. Since I dislike it so much it is better for me to only have to focus on it once a week.
After the kids got home, Jackson and I got ready for the event we have been waiting for for weeks. The Mother & Sons Games! I made sure we wore matching attire:
Megan, Sadie and Eric were still at baseball when we got home, so Jackson and I played Blockers. I had never played before and it took me until nearly the end of the game to understand the concept. Jackson won.
All week my table has been littered with paperwork in preparation for our tax appointment we had today. EVERY YEAR we wait until the last minute! I had to sit down and finish the last bit of sorting.
The rest of the fam finally got home around 8:30 p.m.
Busy, fun, normal day.
