A free day.
Though I wasn't scheduled for today, I had agreed to work for Kris this afternoon for a few hours so she could make it to her gymnastics meet. Of course, I had to call in early this morning and let Brett know that it wasn't going to happen due to Jack's being sick again.
So I have a sick child who is now napping away in his room, but it's a GLORIOUS day out today. A.J. asked to go outside a while ago, and he played happily on the swingset all by his lonesome for the better part of an hour. He pumped that swing so hard it looked like he'd fly away! I wish I could take him somewhere and do something fun, but I can't leave Jack.
He's going to help me finish baking the other two batches of cookies in a bit. I don't know what we'll do after that. He's such a reader, and his favorite thing right now is to curl up in a Star Wars book and just read away in his room in the quiet, so I imagine he'll do some of that today as well. And whenever the neighbor kids all start coming out, he'll probably head back outdoors for a few hours.
What should I do with myself in the meantime? I need some projects. There's always scrapbooking, and I might do some, but I'm not completely "feeling" it, either. I'm kinda feeling like beginning my reread of all six Harry Potter books. Or maybe watching the movies. But then again, it feels like I should save that stuff for rainy days later on. Hrmmm...
