Rolling out of bed at 7:00 is never pretty for this family, but today, it was almost pleasant. We woke up to Georgianna cooing, Reagan laughing and Kate flickering bleary eyes open. Breakfast was abnormally quiet. No tears. No sluggish eating. The girls sat down, ate breakfast, brushed teeth, got dressed, socked, shod and out the door in 15 minutes. I didn't even have time to make a cup of coffee. The morning was truly wonderful. I got fully dressed, and I brushed my hair. A remarkable fete, I know, especially since I did it all on my own without any help from Tanner.
We dropped Kate off, and then grabbed a cup of coffee before heading home. Once home, I finished putting on makeup, found the correct pair of shoes, and then said goodbye to Tanner who had to go to his school. I had a little break, so I found a spiral bound notebook and markers and Reagan and I played school. She was so proud that she got to go to school, too. Then off to my interview. I decided to walk since it's only 1/2 a mile from our house.
It was a perfect day for a walk. Light cloud cover, gentle breeze, a little mistiness about the ground. Nice deep breaths of cool morning air. Absolutely worth getting up in the morning. By the way, I fit my peacock jeans FINALLY! Whoop, for me! Means my body is slowly getting back into shape. I like that.
Came back from the interview to a relatively messy house. That's what happens when you leave to little kids with a single guy. Toys were tumbled everywhere in the front room. So, I did a quick clean up, ate breakfast, caught up on homework and did laundry all with the background music of a two year old learning that a one year old knows how to snatch toys. Tanner got home and tried to fix a glitch on my computer. Then we dropped him off at a meeting, picked up Kate, went to a bookstore, went to the fabric store, Tanner still wasn't out of his meeting, so we went home. Snacks. Cleaning up bedroom, folding more laundry and it was 5:30. I got in the car to go look for Tanner, half afraid that he had decided to walk home, but it was pouring down rain, and he would get drenched. Didn't see him on the road so I pulled into the driveway at work, and he was still there. Decided that this sort of a day required Taco Bell for dinner. Ate dinner. Tanner took a 20 minute nap. Woke him up. Sent him off to school again. Dealt with a 5 year old discovering that a two year old can snatch toys. Baths. Kids to bed. Relaxed, finished up homework, watched a murder mystery. Kitchen. Tanner came home, made him a sandwich. Reagan woke up, climbed into mommy's bed. Tanner went to work. I crawled into bed. The End.
