Daddy came home today. Filled the freezer with more fish! Can't say I was very nice to him when he did. I don't like it when he leaves anymore. I'm thinking I should go with him from now on. All I need is a full time nanny... And a lot of motion sickness meds.
Daddy is still gone. We did absolutely nothing today. Sat in front of the tv all day long. We did take a break to pick up co-op and then came right back to the couch. Got an interesting FB message yesterday. One of my friends is praying about starting a mom's group. I'm so excited! Praying for her vision. I hope this becomes reality. It would be so great.
Daddy left for a two day fishing trip. Feeling a little depressed. Mom came to the salon with me to help as all three of the boys got haircuts. Cut all of Si's hair off and was so sad to see him look like a little boy. He's almost 5, my baby is almost 5! Mom and I talked about going to dinner possibly so I had Si call Papa. He can't say no to the boys! We met at Mimi's and had a nice time. I asked their opinion on which school to send Si to. Dad said Topaz wins! Still praying, we will see.
My schedule was empty today and I was so excited I took pictures of my empty date books. This is a rare occasion, I had to celebrate somehow. Silas went to school, I went for a run while the little ones watched a movie. Then we had study in the evening. Still working on talking to people more. I'm trying to get out of my shell, but it's hard. Praying for more boldness.
Had to get out today. Been feeling like that all week. It's the time of year and the weather has been beautiful. Not as warm as I would like, but beautiful. Took the kids to the play area in the mall and bought them happy meals. We had a good time. Bean threw a huge fit, when I didn't give him something he wanted. He is officially not a baby anymore. He's arrived at the disciplinary stage. Took him the longest out of everyone. A new phase.
Big mommy blunder today. Heard a teacher say last week that today was pajama day, so I marked my calendar. I also told my carpool buddy. Picked her up normally this morning and her and #1 were all decked out in pajamas. Got to school and was told by a teacher, oh, pajama day is Thursday, we switched it! And I was supposed to know that how?!? I was a little irritated, but then decided that I would not assume anything unless verbally told or given a note. The worst part was, #1 noticed that he was one of two kiddos wearing pajamas and wouldn't walk in his classroom. The principle offered some clothes that the school keeps for 'accidents'. #1 conceded. The clothes were a little outdated and #1 noticed. He still didn't want to enter the classroom for fear that the other kids would 'laugh at him'. Kill me now! That broke my heart. We said a prayer and I gave him a little 'who cares what anyone thinks' pep talk, he finally went in. On my drive home, upset, the Lord brought to my memory the story about David and the verse about God being concerned only with the heart. On my way to pick the kids up, David Rosales was teaching on that very thing. Confirmation. When we got home, while #1 ate his lunch, I told him the story. I don't know if he understood or not, but it was important for me to tell him. Guess I'll go mark the calendar again. Carpool playlist picture above. Can never go wrong with a little KOC.
Worked, then got ready for dinner with friends. I made lasagna because our friends are a family of eight. I made 1 veggie and 1 meat. My recipe needs a little perfecting. Now that they have those no-boil noodles, I need to make it more often. I've mastered spaghetti, now onto lasagna. Had a great dinner, no running today. Gonna try and get my runs in Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday this week.
