Happy, relaxing day today. After last night’s LOST finale, it was hard to get up at 5 but the little one wakes up when he does and there’s no stopping him. So we woke up, we hugged, nursed, and just lay there until I felt awake which is when I started my layout. Took a bit longer to get going than usual today. But I had taken the day off so it was ok.
I pretty much lazied around all day. Read my book, surfed, etc. Then I played legos with David while Nathaniel explored everything around the room.
And in the drawers.
David and I built a lego restaurant that was on fire so the fire-woman came to put it out.
And then I made dinner for the kids while David continued to play.
A little glimpse into a life where I don’t work. Quite different, at least stress-wise. And now that the kids are sleeping, I plan to write tomorrow’s gratitude post and spend the rest of the night reading my book. I have tomorrow off, too so it’s another relaxing day waiting for me. I can’t believe there are only 7 days left in May. It passed way way too quickly.
Note to Self:
One of the things Karen mentioned during the retreat was to spend one hour a day playing with your kids. Where playing means not doing anything else and doing whatever they want. So today. I did that. I told David we could do anything he wanted. He had some trouble coming up with something at first but then he decided to play legos. We sat on the floor and built things and talked and had so much fun. And I think when we were done, he was genuinely happy. So was I. It was great to have some time just for us. I want to make a point of doing this more. Anything David wants. Just for a bit. It’s hard being a kid and being told what to do all the time, so I think it’s nice to give him some time everyday where he gets to make all the decisions and knows that he has 100% of my attention.
Three Things I’m Grateful For:
1. Playing with David and Nathaniel today.
2. A quiet, relaxed, happy day.
3. A beautiful, touching card from my wonderful husband.
