Today did not pan out as expected. Apparently I did not set the alarm clock last night (maybe as revenge for my Saturday morning, unnecessary wake-up call, when I forgot to turn it off?), and woke up at 6:45….AKA, extremely late. I quick woke Christian up (also late) and he was on his way. I decided to let the girls sleep since they weren’t up already (like usual). I knew they’d be pretty tired after our busy, late night weekend. As I tried to go back to bed, I just kept thinking – man, I really want to take the day off. My head hurt a little, I was tired and have just been craving a ME day for a long time. So, I went for it. I called in, and officially took the day off. The girls woke up around 8:00…I packed them up, loaded them in the car and dropped them off at my in-laws. Then, home I went. I spent a large majority of the day in bed. Caught up on my DVR (literally, it was empty by the end of the afternoon – until prime time hit, but whatever), did some chatting on facebook, edited some pictures and started my new obsession…Pinterest. I know, I know…Pinterest is nothing new. But, I’ve been avoiding it like the plague. I had it in my head that it was simply a crafty, Suzie Homemaker thing…but, it’s so much more. I love it, and I am beyond hooked already. I have so many things I want to do, just from one day. I think we’re in trouble.
It started getting late, and I didn’t want to make it too obvious that I had spent the day doing absolutely nothing, so I quick picked up the bedrooms, bathroom, living room and kitchen (which, was already pretty clean from Saturday, thankfully) and started dinner before the family got home. Thanks to Christian and his habit of surprising me with visitors, I’ve mastered the art of the “quick clean the house in 10-minutes because company is coming). I have it down to an art, it’s scary really.
We had dinner and played with the girls for a while. I shared my awesome Pinterest finds with Christian – he was surprisingly intrigued, but I don’t think he realizes how much work my addiction will end up being for him yet. The girls went to bed, and I wasn’t far behind. With that, my “me day” came to an end, and I really don’t want to return to reality tomorrow. Whoa is me.
I didn’t really take any pictures today (clearly, I was busy)….but, it is our anniversary week, and I made a little collage for my facebook cover photo…might as well share that! Crazy, I can’t believe Saturday is our 5th anniversary. Time flies!
