So nice
After a day of gloomy rain, storms, water in the basement, and all around yuck on Saturday today was BEAUTIFUL!!!!!! I feel better, the kids were better, all around a great day!
Saturday night we went to church, as I go more often my dislike of my priest lessens and I get so much more out of mass. The boys are behaving well at mass too so that helps; if I am always correcting/disciplining them I get squat out of it. We had dinner when we got home and at a reasonable hour because I put the meatloaf in before we left for church so all I had to do was make gravy and set the table when we got back. We ran the sump pump almost constantly because any time we turned it off for very long the water got deeper than when we started.
Today dawned beautifully! The bright crisp fall morning, ones that daydreams are made of was so enjoyable. I just sat outside while the boys were in CCD and enjoyed the fresh, clean air. When we got home the boys played and kept wanting to play video games, but the beautiful afternoon (& I) won out. I got a cleaning bug under my skin and cleaned the living room, purged the front hall closet, got almost all the laundry done and put away. I took a trunk load of stuff to A.O. Tom mowed most of the lawn and trimmed the trees. The boys helped with the yard work and them flew kites-James even made his own, Thomas' was store bought. The they played frisbee with their Daddy and Dede- my ankle was hurting too much to do more than watch. I get to put the screens in and open the windows; that will have to wait until tomorrow.
It has been a really, really good day, better than I have had in way too long!
