After several weeks of maxin’ I am ready for some relaxin’! Today was perfect. Exactly what we’ve been needing. A “do nothing” day. Alan had to go to a conference (no “do nothing” day for him!) but the rest of us chilled at home, in PJs. Eve woke up with wet PJs but when she heard it could be a pajama day she zipped right back upstairs to grab some clean pajamas. I did some long-overdue exercising, we tidied up after last nights party, we did a lot of reading, including a full chapter of On The Blue Comet (the kids LOVE the book Mema, thanks!), we played games, we did puzzles and built block towers (photos from Lex may be posted soon). I made it to 5:30pm before pulling out my to-do list to write down a few things for next week. I even went so far as to REST during quiet time. We haven’t even had quiet time in ages, what with the kids both being in school in the afternoons now and our string of super busy weekends, but today we all had a nice quiet time. I brewed a cup of lemon tea and plopped my butt on the couch for a cozy date with Real Simple magazine. It was niiiiiiccceeeee……

Tomorrow I’m hoping for more of the same, but it will be punctured by a few chores. We have to go dishwasher shopping in the morning and meet a new babysitter in the afternoon. Both things that need doing (our dishwasher is currently running with the aid of a paper clip! Seriously! Darn technology! But that’s for another post, another day) Otherwise I hope we can do more relaxin’ and less maxin’ for one more day.
