Short post today, as I have not been home most of the day:
1. Went to Target without kids. You know how batters in the on-deck circle swing bats with weighted doughnuts on them, so that when they're up, the bat is light in their hands? It's like that and grocery shopping with the kids. You go with them only to appreciate how much easier it is when you get to go without them. M pushed one cart and I pushed the second, and there was no whining, no begging to leave, no one begging for some sort of glow in the dark sugary cereal. So, so, so much better of an experience.
2. Went out to lunch at a new place. We shared a gourmet pizza of dubious healthfulness, had a lovely, ice cold beer, came home and...napped. The beer really helped--there was none of that senseless suggestive eyebrow raising (husbands, we see it, we just choose to ignore it), we craved that nap before the kids had to be picked up from camp. We ran upstairs, quick as newlyweds, stripped off our khakis, and dove under the covers. We snuggled down in the cool, clean sheets, and...slept. For 45 whole minutes. It was indulgent and magical.
3. We have E's friend over for a sleepover tonight. The three boys play so nicely together. In fact, this is one of my favorite friend playdates because this friend has three siblings and is so used to treating them nicely that he includes S in all of their playtime. It's wonderful. Not quiet, per se, but undemanding.
I'm sure karma is going to come kick me in the butt for this, but what a pleasant day. (Dare I speak it aloud?)
