*Update: At the end of this post I tell you to have a good Tuesday, but today is in fact Wednesday. What can I say…Mom brain gets me every time*
After multiple trash can dives (which resulted in coffee grinds and several other trashy trash strewn throughout the house/garage), poop episodes, a walk to the park and down to the bay, emptying the pantry of it’s contents and uprooting my newly planted flowers, it’s no wonder that kid is tired. Honestly, nothing is safe anymore! But, today is a good, good day. A sweet lady, out walking her dogs, stopped me to ask if I had a camera on my phone and would I like her to take a photo of the boys and I. So sweet! She said it was just too scenic not to capture…and that mom’s are often the undocumented ones in the family photo albums. Such a sweet gesture!
For about a year now, plans have been in the works for my Grammy’s birthday party/family reunion in Florida. Josh and I knew that driving or flying all the way to central Florida for a short weekend was not in the picture for the entire family, but the selfless, sweet and caring husband that Josh is, has made sure that I get to go! I am really sad that Josh and the boys aren’t coming, but on the other hand, I’m super excited about getting to see my immediate and extended family. Not to mention, this mama welcomes the three day break from diaper changes, meal prep and waking up before the sun. My younger brother Joel and I are planning to share a room and I’m 100% certain that he won’t be waking up at 5am needing a diaper change. The trip isn’t for another 2 weeks, but I’m already pulling out the suitcase.
I must have accidentally left our birthday horns in the boys’ room and they are currently tooting away, which I’m certain has lead the neighbors to think we’re holding hostage a dying duck; plus tonight is date night and so I better start folding the laundry and finishing up other housewifely duties before it gets too late.
Hope this Tuesday is a good, good day for you too!
