Good Things Friday (6)
March 22, 2019
1. Saturday: Cal Academy day with friends!
2. Saturday: Splurged on a couple of donuts and cheap tennis balls for the dogs. Dogs were so pleased they cracked the new balls in half within 3 minutes of play. Dog joy!
3. Saturday: We were all up very early and visited our favorite hairdresser at the cheap chain nearby. They dote in JB and are so lovely to talk to.
4. Sunday: I got 9 hours of sleep!!!
5. Sunday: I got two loads of laundry done and put away, and…
6. Sunday: we had gorgeous clear skies and warm sun so the kids and I went out on the drive where I concocted a foul smelling mess of weedkiller that is relatively safe to use around kids and dogs so long as they refrain from licking it up and it worked! A pity I still need to dig up the now browned and dead weeds but they’re dead!
7. Monday: A harrowing day, physically and emotionally, made better by PiC thoughtfully leaving a reasonable substitute for a lawn chair out for me. Dogs and I camped in the yard soaking up sun for an hour while I squinted at my screen working and baking the “I’m so behind” anxiety down to a dull roar.
8. Tuesday: Painsomnia meant I was awake until past 2 am (boo) but then I remembered to submit a request for a third T-Mobile Rover promo code in time for the redemption deadline so small insomniac favors?? I’m also so grateful for thoughtful readers who are willing to share coupons and promotions they don’t need.
9. Wednesday: Our sunny day streak is over! Grey skies and rain have moved in but as compensation, I was able to wake JB from a full sleep and get zir ready and out the door before 8 am without any tantrums! One minor put-out episode but it was headed off quickly. THANK YOU UNIVERSE.
We enjoyed the sunny weather last weekend too by taking walks in our neighborhood and letting BwC go to the playground. Refreshing to do these activities after all the rain we’ve been having.
Also BwC is getting better in his potty training!! Had a few accidents but is slowly getting accustomed to going to the potty. It looks like he should be ready for preschool in a few months.
The sunny weather was such a welcome break!
Yay for potty training going well, have you picked a preschool?
My mom was here for most of the week (left Thursday evening) so that was a positive. We just sat around while I caught her up on Speechless (since she doesn’t have a TV, we watch episodes of shows she likes) and chatted. Well, that and she helped talk me through some blog posts, which was immensely helpful.
I had a second date last night which went well, so that’s always a positive.
It was a quiet week, so that’s about it. But overall a very pleasant few days, which is what matters.
That sounds pretty perfect – mom time and a good date.
