Better Day

Yesterday and today have been much better than Thursday. I didn't for one, walk around with my undies hanging out of my pants with my shirt tucked into them ( like I did on Thursday). The weather has been sort of glum, but I have been in a somewhat splendid mood.

Owen is in bed (he had exhausted himself from slithering around like a snake), Keyton is at the neighbors (where he has spent most of the day), and Hal is playing quietly in the living room.

Jesse is in Louisville. I am very thankful that we are moving back home-- we really could use some company.

When Jesse is away, I find myself rarely having an adult conversation, which is okay, but I sometimes forget how to talk "normally". Today, I went to Walmart and I asked a teenage employee where the potty was. It's really funny when I think about this scenario, because-- I asked a TEENAGE BOY where a potty was. He did look at me funny. It doesn't matter that I have three children with me...when I am in public, I should be able to remember words like, restroom and bathroom. Jeesh.

Last night I spent an hour jumping on and off my bed (with Hal). In mid-air, Hal and I would yell, "WEEEEEE!" It was an enjoyable evening. Boy-- how times have changed. I can assure you 8 years ago I wasn't jumping off a bed on a Friday night saying, " WEEEEEE!" (actually, maybe I was). I love spending this time with my children. I have come to understand the importance of moments such as these. I know that my daughter won't be jumping off the bed with me in a few years (at least I don't think she will be).

No showings for the house today. It was nice to have a day off.
