Here's an unexpected twist in my life: Our dear friend Kendra is heading south today on business and offered to take Caleb along with her to see my brother Sheldon and his family. Caleb was going to stay with them when I went to Indiana but didn't because of having surgery on his arm two days before I went. So Kendra thought he might like to go along and play with his cousin Emily for a day. Good idea, but we thought maybe Logan should go too, since he sometimes gets left behind too much. Kendra and Darla said sure, so today at 1:00 we sent our big boys down the road. How strange! I said, "At least it's not for a week of camp yet!" So now, my other two "littles" are sleeping and I need to decide how to use my free time! (It's amazing how only having a toddler and a baby feels like a major vacation!!)
Should I:
- Spend an hour Putting Things Away (the toys are a mess and the horizontal surfaces need some serious help!)?
- Blog and post pictures about our trip to Indiana?
- Spend some blissful hours in the sunshine, digging in my flowerbeds getting them ready to plant?
- Fold a mountain of laundry?
- Pay bills and update the budget?
- Finish writing a letter I started last night?
- Re-arrange and organize Hannah's room (it's a total disaster and still has extra furniture in it from when we had a guest a month and a half ago)?
- Bake bread?
-Take a nap?
- Read a "Birds and Blooms" that I got at the library this morning?
-Get organized for my cooking day on Thursday?
So many options. I guess I should quit rambling and go get busy. I think a 15 minute Nap followed by Putting Things Away, and then Digging In The Dirt are the first things on my list. Hopefully Blogging will make it on my list for tomorrow! I'm pretty sure the laundry and bills are on the bottom of the list. :-) I'm outa here!

i'd definetly put the "take a nap" at the beginning of the list!!!! I know what you mean, by farming out two children, seems like a vacation!! it's funny...whenever I don't have two kids...I never know what to cook!!! seems like you might as well go out if there are only 4 of you!!! duh...that's like how many people are in a normal (???) family!!! hope you have a great time with just the two little ones!! I guarantee tho, that when you go to get in bed tonight...it will seem lonely!!!
wow! have a fun break! i know what "only" two kids feels like from A and S's school days and it's really like a holiday! once in awhile i let myself just be lazy on one of those days...reading, baking something unnecessary, or whatever.
how's caleb's arm, by the way?
