Today was just an ordinary day. Adriel woke up at 7. I met him at my door way in the dark, where I started to put my housecoat on. My house coat is getting old and ratty. At least that's how I feel in it. When I take the garbage out on garbage day I feel a little embarrassed about being in my housecoat. Anyway, I was putting it on (as I do every morning) and Adriel said "Daddy, pick me up" So I crouched down and picked him up to which he said in an astonished and cheerful tone "Hey, you're not Daddy!" I took him out to the couch where we lay in the dark for a while and cuddled. He's always so cheerful in the morning- unless he wakes up too early. I like our little cuddle times. He tells me things and all the while I get to hold his little body close to mine and smell is hair and kiss the area in between his eyes and nose. For some reason I've always like kissing that spot on my kids. It's a cute spot. Then he starts saying that he's hungry and thirsty and wants something to eat and drink. Almost everyday he says he wants candy or chips when I ask him what he wants.
I got ready and took the boys to the gym. There's a class I usually go to on Tuesday morning, but it had been canceled because the instructors child had pneumonia. That's a good reason to cancel, I think. Plenty valid enough for me. Then it got me thinking to how when Adriel had pneumonia, I still went to work. I called and asked them not to book anymore clients with me than I already had and gave them the reasons why. You'd think they'd say something like "that's ok, you stay home with your very sick son, we can cover your clients today." But they didn't. I don't know why I just didn't go to work, because I think it's a valid reason, like I said. I was just trying to not let anyone down. I hate how sometimes you worry more about letting people down who aren't as important as your family. It's like you put them first, when really it should be about not letting your family down over other people. Anyway, I keep going off on tangents. I did my own thing at the gym, and sweat a lot. While I was doing cardio there were drops of sweat going down my face. For some reason that's sort of satisfying to me.
After the gym we went to liquidation world. Adriel calls it Lick-idation world. ha ha. I love that store. It's fun. I never know what random thing I'm going to find for a good price. I get bread there because it's really cheap. I came across these really delicious feeling housecoats. Molestable-to quote Laura. There were all these colours to choose from. I debated, do I get one? Do I not? It's not as if we can really afford a lot extra these days. I decided that if I were to get one, I'd get a hot pink one. Then I walked away and looked at some other things, and I found myself in that isle with the housecoats again. There was a hot pink one, all packaged up ( a lot of them had been opened) and sitting on the edge of the shelf. I grabbed it.
When I came home and unpacked all I had bought, I took out the housecoat and put it on. I looked in the mirror and discovered that I'm just not meant to look good in housecoats. I'm just not. Let's face it- a thick bulk-adding body covering is not my thing. This one had pockets right at the hips which added frump and unattractiveness. sigh. Why can't the bulk be at the boobs, where I need it? I started to second guess my decision to buy the robe. I haven't decided whether or not I'm going to keep it.
Then there were naps and the park. Poor Sloan couldn't walk very well on the little pebbles and every time he stumbled, the pebbles stuck to his hands and he wasn't very happy. All the while Adriel wanted me to do EVERYTHING with him and I couldn't do very many things due to having to either carry Sloan or watch out for him.
I came home starving and made dinner and that's where I'm at now. Kyle just got home. Time for me to go!
