Had one of those days, well almost… I managed to slow it all down and cut myself some slack just in time. Disorder was the perfect word to describe how my brain woke up yesterday, maybe it never completely did wake up! I messed up a planned play date and just couldn’t get my self caught up.
Finally I realised it was ‘one of those days’ and so I STOPPED trying to run the ship as I always do and put it on coast… Stopped worrying about the play date failure, the dishes, the floors, the filthy play room and all the rest… stepped away from my to-do list… and then my littlest man and I went for a walk instead.
Sunshine and spring, greeted us. We marched, at a very three year old like leisurely pace, down to the corner thrift store and puttered through there. Stopped to say hello to the bearded dragons at the community center and applauded for Bonny (of Bonny and Clyde) who is now expecting EGGS… BABIES! We then slowly walked back home, examining every newly thawed rock, slightly frozen over puddle and crack in side walk. Hoping most of the way home, we where fully prepared when we found a collection of freshly chalked out hopscotch sets (thank you neighborhood child) and even Mommy had her turn. We found our yard and played in the last of the snow in the back.
Tea with my friend worked out… still managed to babysit my niece later that day (for a couple hours) and even managed to introduce my crew to my newest niece.
Supper, day before last, was wild salmon and an amazing salad…last night… I knew better then to try and just threw beans, wieners and toast at the kids. Still a success in my books if it means we don’t order pizza or something even more pricey.
While I hope my head is back in the game today, and I stop spilling everything I pour for myself, I am especially thankful for a lovely day when it was shaping up to be ‘one of those days’.
