A Day for Me

Thanks to the computer/babysitting swap with the Mitchell's, I have had some free babysitting lately.  Most of the time has been spent working on the house - organizing, cleaning, etc.  But this is my last day, so I decided to give myself a treat.  First, I thought I would spend the day shopping - you know the kind of shopping you used to enjoy before kids - with no time limit, no hurrying before the tantrum starts, no rules.  But then I realized that I have no money - and all that shopping would do was just tempt or depress me.

So I decided to hang out at home, doing stuff I enjoy.  Here is what my day has looked like:

Super cozy Lakeside Sweatshirt & Sweatpants

Hot Chocolate while reading Ephesians

Worship Music

Scrapbooking - working on my Journey to Motherhood scrapbook that I started before Sam was born - maybe someday I'll finish!

Bagel & cream cheese with chocolate milk for lunch

Technical difficulties with my computer & printer, which slowed down the scrapbooking

Coke with cherry syrup - mmmm!

Grape Laffy Taffy

Cudding up on the couch watching Elizabethtown

Sort of giving myself a manicure (basically just cutting my nails down to nubs, shoving the cuticles back, buffing & moisturizing)

Jumbo Smarties

Blogging

Just a few of my favorite things!

Thank you Amber for taking care of my Sam today so I could take care of me!
