I am so thankful it is Friday! I have been so busy this week! Example, I was SO busy today that while filling up my car with gas, I got Connor dressed at the same time!
I started off my day by spending time with my mom, great aunt, and her caretaker at my grandmother's old house. We cleaned out my grandmother's closets and donated her clothes and threw out other things. We took a break for lunch and had a lovely day together. I wasn't sad going through my grandmother's things. It was fun to go through her clothes and remember what outfit she wore for my wedding, for Christmas' long ago, and other special occasions. A big bonus was that all the clothes SMELLED like my grandma! My memories are linked INTIMATELY with smells and it was so nice to take in the scent of my grandmother and feel overwhelmingly happy.
I made dinner for a family in my ward tonight and made a dinner for my kids and a babysitter as well....two dinners in one week...I MUST be getting better! So sad I haven't cooked lately, but that is going to change with each day that I get stronger! David and I went out on a date and we ate at a restaurant that we usually go to with the kids....what a change to be FREE from them and eat hot food lol. We came home, had the kids put to bed, and watched a Redbox movie and ate popcorn and candy in bed...such a cheap, happy, moment!
Time for bed and time to let the weekend peace wash over me. It is supposed to rain tomorrow so I think I will do my best to stay in PJs and keep warm and cozy! Happy Friday!
