I’ve had a lovely day. It was pouring down rain so I didn’t run. Figure I’ll hit it tomorrow morning. Plus I had a meeting for coffee with someone from the PTA. Starbucks tastes so good on days like this! Then went and did our emissions testing. Ran a few errands. Came home and made myself a lovely salad and took some chicken out to defrost to make my famous chicken with sun dried tomato and artichokes.
Kids came home at 1:30 and we all got our chores done. Then we played a few board games. Clue Jr was way fun till we realized we set the game up wrong. Then Dinara and I made some double chocolate walnut brownies.
It’s rainy outside… but we are all toasty warm and nesting.

You know, it wasn’t until I had kids that I really started to live in the seasons again. Maybe it’s being in an office all day, or just the way you have to slow down and live things with people who are living them for the first few times, but I’ve become a very seasonal creature since staying home with children.
Yesterday I made batches of chicken pie and shepards pie to freeze. I realized, halfway through doing it, that I was preparing to hibernate. I was filling the freezer with comfort food.
Great post.

I LOVE days like that at home with the kids (when they aren’t yelling at each other).
