A Pretty Typical Day

It's raining (nothing too typical about that, though we've had a record amount of rain this year), and it's a little bit cool for May (61 and the sun's been up for 3 hours).

Isaac woke up about 6 (he's feeling a little bit better, eating and playing nicer). Chris got up with him and let me sleep until 7 (makes me a better Mommy). I got up to sweet "ba-ba-ba's," loud and proud on the part of both of my boys as Isaac ate his breakfast.

I gave him his meds (again not typical, but I am struck by how blessed we are that he is overall healthy, and I don't have to give him 3 different meds, 3 times a day, every day forever), and he got down to play, playing hard until almost 8 when he showed definite signs of needing a nap. He snuggled up with Ookie, Bear, and Elephant, and Personal Penguin (one of our two current favorite books). I finished my coffee and the morning sudoku from the paper as Chris went to the Y for the treadmill run he hasn't felt like doing all week (he has bad allergies and is on antibiotics for a sinus infection). I'll go to the grocery and the Y later for my exercise (not that you can tell it's doing any good).

Chris' mom is coming over to play with Isaac later, and Chris and I are going on our weekly "date." We started working through "10 Great Dates to Energize Your Marriage" after hearing Dave and Claudia Arp speak at Lifeway's Festival of Marriage a couple weeks ago. I highly recommend attending if you ever have the chance. And do any workshops by the Mucci's. They're fabulous. Anyways, Chris' mom is leaving for Florida in a few days to see his cousin graduate from high school (she's the littlest cousin-sort of), and she wanted her Isaac fix before she left. So, that means that she has kept the little man so I could take Ned to the vet, get my hair cut, go to lunch with a friend, and now, go on a date with my hubby. There are some advantages to living in a small town with Grandma.

Well, I'm going to go pick up a few things (Chris got most of it done while I was sleeping), but there's always something that needs to be done.

Maybe today isn't so typical after all...
