My Sunday –
cereal for breakfast
declared it to be an all day pajama day
but was sure to say, “Teeth brushing is still happening!”
told my boy to brush his teeth 3 times before he actually did it
checked his teeth
brushed his teeth for him
wondered to myself when he’ll learn to truly brush his teeth – he’s 8 for heavens sake
swept the garage
watered the plants
took the kids to get hot chocolate at Starbucks (yes, in our pj’s) – had a pumpkin spice latte
rocked out with the windows down to Call Me Maybe
added a few links to the blog project gallery
answered a few emails
made peanut butter and honey sandwiches for lunch
watched Cheaper By The Dozen with the kids
folded clothes, started a new load
watched Good Luck Charlie with the kids
had a random dance party to Marky Mark’s Good Vibrations
cleaned my bathroom
photographed my bathroom for a blog post
took a shower
put on some pj’s that don’t really look like pj’s
helped my girl do her homework
read with my girl
packed lunches for school
ordered dinner from our fav italian restaurant that has a great gf menu
picked up dinner and thought to myself, “Why doesn’t every restaurant offer carry out and bring your food to the car?”
ate dinner in front of the tv in the basement – watched another episode of Good Luck Charlie
helped the kids put their clothes away that I folded earlier
made the kids clean up their toys
got outfits ready for the week
sent the kids to bed
folded another load of laundry
started another load of laundry
had a glass of wine
was so happy to see my hub come home after being gone for business all weekend long
wrote this random post
because the simple days are the ones I never want to forget
the days that come in between the big moments matter
sometimes they matter more
they fill our lives
all those in between days
the cuddles, giggles, and silly dance moves
the never ending pile of laundry
like a magic trick the dirty clothes just never stop coming out of the basket
and I want to remember these days too
not just the big moment days
first day days
recital, big game, and vacation days
but the in between days
I really want to remember those too
I think you should write in-between day posts more often! I want to remember them too – because the years just go by too darn fast…..and we all need reminding to appreciate these ordinary days that make up an extraordinary life. So lovely read and hear the gratitude you have for your life, the joy that you find in your family!!
