My Day Today

Today was a typical day for me...

1) Dr.'s office for a blood sample
2) Bank
3) Post Office
4) Dry Cleaner's
5) Library (usually my favorite stop of the week but today I owed fines)
6) Hair Dresser's to pick up hair stuff
7) Michal's (a craft store) for stuff to finish up decorating the house for Fall
8) Grocery Store (this is my least favorite so I put it off until the boy's think they are going to starve to death)

Then back home to put all that junk away... Some parts of my life have changed drastically,like, the laundry...Maddock hauls it down to the basement, Micah sorts it, washes it and hauls it back up, I fold it and iron it, then we all put our own stuff away. Much easier than when there were five kids and tons of laundry. On the other hand, there are days like today that seem so familiar that I come home feeling like there should still be more people living here. Then I remember, the ones that live here are boys and that alone explains the $180.00 in groceries that will be gone in less than two weeks. Someday, Maddock will stop growing and soccer season will be over and he will quit eating us out of house and home. I'm not ready for someday, not just yet.

Post Wedding Week

This is the first week in months that I have not been consumed with wedding plans. Seemed strange at first but I believe I am getting over it. First a little light housekeeping and some cooking. A little shopping, finish my overdue library books, get the boys to take care of the lawn (no small feat indeed!) Spend time looking at some wedding photos and generally just taking the week off, even though there were two soccer games during the week.

Celebrated by birthday this week with loads of notes and FB messages from sweet friends. Some fizzy apple bubbly and graham flavored fish crackers, lunch with a good friend and breakfast with another and dinner out with my youngest. Some weeks just rock!

The older I get the more I appreciate the little things in life like, shoes that fit really well, so you buy two pair of them, phone calls from my kids, dinner out with friends and family, a really good book or movie, and a clean house! Oh! and my new beautiful ring from my hubby! Jewelry always makes it a good day.
