Number Five

My sweetheart gave me the day off today. I was reluctant to go, but once I got going I realized just how much I needed the furlough. I can't remember the last day I had without the kids. I didn't do anything particularly stunning, just shopped for a few essential items, hit a few garage sales, took myself out to lunch, and then came home and took a nap before dinner. The wonderful thing was that I found my sanity again. Didn't even know I was losing it, until I had a little break.

Dinner was a roasted garlic chicken, red potatoes, and fresh corn on the cob (picked today!) It was wonderful and I didn't have to cook it :)

After dinner we went to Longwood Gardens to see the Fountains of Light. I blipped to my heart's content while my sweetheart watched the kids. Would have been a perfect end to the day if it hadn't been for my daughter's blood curdling tantrum in an unsuccessful ploy to divert bedtime. At least my batteries were recharged enough to not let it get to me :)
