i didn't mean to miss a day of blogging....it just got away from me.
i left at 7 AM for the school bus and didn't stop till bedtime.
it was a good and busy day.
although i prefer the lazy hanging out kind of days much better.
wednesday was indeed Sonic Day.
whoop!
DYING over the rainbow quilt that arrived in my mailbox from a super special california friend that lives way WAY too far away. i almost cried when i opened the box.
if she had been here i would've.
i felt so loved.
don't you love that kind of moment?
when you FEEL super loved even when you are all alone in your messy kitchen.
i ran as soon as the kids went on the bus.
i won't keep telling you if i run or not but it was such a good one!
i never stopped to walk!!! i ran THE WHOLE 3.5 miles!
big day for me.

i treated myself to a french manicure.
am i the only person who has terrible luck with this?
it was not a great manicure...
and i was there f.o.r.e.v.e.r.
i know these are not big life problems i have...i know....but i was annoyed.
then i got an email that could be the best email EVER from someone awesome.
and my mood changed.
:)
i hope i get to tell you about it.
but not yet.
i went to kimberlee's house and had a meeting for craft weekend!!!
i will tell you about that soon.
VERY SOON.
i drove straight to the bus stop from kimberlee's.
on the drive home after school annie asked "can we PLEEEEEEEEASE do a craft when we get home?"
i said "YES!"
i sent her outside for step one.
she collected acorns from the driveway and counted them.
84!!
and we didn't make it much farther....the plan is to make THESE.
but painting them was harder and messier than i thought so we will need a longer craft time to finish.
we ate a super fast dinner of pasta and sauce.
nothing else.
and out the door to football and soccer.
when we got home and got the kids to bed i ran a HOT HOT bath with bubbles and Stress Relief Bubble Bath
and sank up to my nose and watched Parenthood from Tuesday.
and i cried.
because i love it all.
i love childbirth...i love people realizing about autism....i love seeing crisis in family and how they portray it.
I know it's a show.
and they are actors.
i know this.
but i just love how they do it.
i like good tv and movies.
a lot.
:)
then i was OUT like a light.
and my kids are off school today so i got to sleep in!!!!
today....we clean.
and make a craft.
and chill.
happy friday.
making THIS for dinner.
pumpkin waffle recipe soon to come. :)
