Don’t hate me, but Mondays are a little more bearable in the summer. #teacherlife Today I’m planning to get a few things done around the house, maybe tune into a little of The Open and then head to Greenville to do a furniture swap with my sister. {Side note: I texted my dad yesterday morning to ask when this golf tournament became known simply as The Open instead of The British Open. Anybody else a Jordan Spieth fan?}
On Friday, I tried a new and somewhat made-up recipe for dinner. And considering we ate the leftovers yesterday and today, I’ll go ahead and call it a success. Recipe to come soon. David’s brother and his family came into town so we dropped by to see Brady & Jackson for a bit after dinner on Friday. They’re at such fun ages and have so much personality. As soon as Jackson saw me, “Find Dafe.” I just love how he says Dafe.
Saturday started off a little lazy, the way any good Saturday does. Once we got going, we began tackling our biggest project of the summer. We’ve been cleaning out closets and rooms upstairs for the last two or three weeks. But we also have a large portion of our basement that’s unfinished for storage. It was one of the selling features when we bought our home five years ago. But holy junk, the stuff we’ve accumulated in that time. And not just accumulated, but we haven’t kept it organized. So it’s pretty much a disaster zone. We spent the majority of the day working on it. We got so much done but it’s one of those projects that we barely made a dent in because there’s just so much to do. One step at a time, right?
I have no idea how we managed to see our nephews two nights in a row and not snap a single picture but we did. Live in the moment, I guess. And we watched Taken 3. When David mentioned it, I was thinking maybe we should go back and watch Taken 1 and 2 again so I didn’t feel lost but I decided to just go with it and ask him a million questions if I was lost. I’m a great movie partner. Even though I haven’t seen the first two in forever, I wasn’t lost at all. I think this one may have been my favorite.
And I’m a happy girl anytime I carve out a few minutes to make this happen.
On Sunday morning I did a little bit of journaling in my Belly Book. After we ate muffins, that is. Yes, David spoils me because he makes them for me on the reg. {Speaking of The Belly Book… early on in my pregnancy, I kept thinking that I needed to be writing things down but I didn’t really know what to write down or where to start so I just never did. And then Amy gave me this book and it’s perfect because it asks a few questions here and there but mostly it just provides space to document a weekly paragraph. And picture which I never do and yes, I realize that I’ll look back one day and wish I had taken weekly pictures. But hey, I did manage to get one in today!}
After all that journaling and muffin eating, I started getting ready for church. After trying on every dress in my closet, I finally came to the conclusion that all my “regular” dresses fall into one of these categories:
>>belted or gathered at the natural waist #notanoption
>>has an empire waist, but also has a side zipper #wontzipalltheway
>>not belted or gathered so it “fits” but I suddenly look like oomph loompa #notthegoal
Here’s the mess I made in order to make those discoveries.
It’s officially time to shop for maternity clothes. Thank you ASOS and Ross for having affordable maternity clothes. Because I went on a little shopping spree. Is it possible to have an affordable, attractive pregnancy wardrobe? #thatISthegoal
The rest of Sunday was filled with things like laundry, loading furniture and adding Disqus to my comment forum. {I hope it worked so I can actually start responding to these things!} Oh, and we did manage another Parenthood episode. Netflix for the win. Bravermans for the win.
How was your weekend? Summer, I need you to slow down just a little. That’s the only thing I would change!
