I'm holding tightly to the last few moments of this extended weekend, drinking hot tea with spiced rum, reading reddit, trying to get a few more of these gushy feelings out into the world. I took a hot bath laced with Epsom salts and essential oils and nearly fell asleep. My hips feel better, though, and my entire body is super relaxed and loose, with that delicious still-warm feeling my skin gets after soaking in too hot water, all soft and moisturized.
Jimi's watching some series on Netflix. I wonder what it would take to distract him...
We spent our day cleaning and grocery shopping and meal planning and playing and laughing. Jimi got the gears on his bike adjusted, I took my time at the gym. We ate well, healthy. Tonight we took the girls up to the park for an hour or so, letting them run out all that energy. Our house is not nearly as clean as I'd like, our laundry not as caught up as I'd prefer, and I only made it as far as the hallway with the vacuum.
I'm so fucking happy. I got the living room, hallway, and girls' bedroom vacuumed. The girls helped clean up/pick up without argument, and did a good job. We have clean clothes for tomorrow, at least - and the rest of the week, too, once we get through that folding; there's always tomorrow for that. (Do you fight with your laundry, too? Live out of baskets full of clean clothes, use your dryer as an iron?) I have lunch made for the week for myself, healthy lunches at that. I'm pretty sure of what I'm going to feed my family for dinner all week. I don't even mind that we have to go back to work tomorrow - it's not like we hate our jobs. My only hesitation is that I'm afraid I'll brag too much about how awesome this weekend was, how awesome my husband is, how awesome my life is...
I'm on top of the world. Everything is awesome. All of it. Even the hard stuff.
I know I've asked before, but I'm gonna ask again... what does your lunch prep consist of that you are able to prep at the beginning of the week and it still be good through Friday?
