Putting The STAY Back in Stay At Home Mom

We've had plans, appointments, visitors and errands for what seems like months. My head was spinning last night like the old fashion merry-go-round things you have to run to start. I told Mike my entire plan for today, in the interest of saving gas and sanity, was to stay home. It was a good plan.

I'm run down from all the run around lately. I didn't do my usual lengthy list of things to do since we weren't going anywhere. I let Riley have complete freedom to pick out her clothes. I stayed in my pajamas. We had breakfast and played blocks. I wrote some thank you cards, sent some emails, wrote some blogs. Riley trashed the living room and I let her. I shared a brownie with her before lunch.

After lunch Riley and I read One Fish, Two Fish. While she napped I laid down and watched garbage tv. Then Riley and I watched Beauty and the Beast and Isaac got started on homework. I made the signs for the backs of our chairs at the wedding.

After Isaac's homework was done I watched the kids run around the back yard together. When it was too dark to run anymore we had frozen pizza for dinner. Mission Accomplished.

Tomorrow I have 9am physical therapy, a house to clean, laundry to start, kitchen surfaces to attend to and a nine year old with a long weekend.
