Just Keeping it Real

I'm still in mommy mode around here, only today my boys are driving me nuts.  I tried to go grocery shopping with them.  Tried being the key word.  We were out of milk.  Ended up seeing someone that we haven't seen for a long time... and my cute, adorable children turned into monsters.  It was a moment that I wanted to hide.  I remembered why I like grocery shopping by myself.  When we got home the boys had to spend some quality time in their rooms, and I just breathed.  

Have you breathed today?  Just had quiet time with your thoughts?  

My pile of school stuff is getting taken care of.  It would be easy for me to stress out about it, but I keep hearing my mother in my ear saying, "One Thing at a Time".  What have you tackled today?  What are you super proud that you accomplished?    

Have you relaxed today?  Really relaxed?  For most of us it's still summer.  It might be your last day of summer, or maybe you still have weeks left.  I'm heading to curl up to finally finish my book, or maybe I'll take a nap.  I better not get too comfortable since I have a dentist appointment in 2 hours.  :/  Have a great afternoon everyone!  

Shhh! I'm hiding!!

First Day of Summer over here, and this morning I kept the boys hopping from activity to activity.  They were allowed to watch a show after they cleaned their bathroom, allowed to play with the Hot Wheel track after they emptied the dishwasher, etc... They got so much accomplished and even had time to pull out all the FisherPrice stuff and build a Spiderman sheet fort!  Now they are watching an afternoon movie (we have a bunch of these during the summer) so I have time to do what I want to do...

#1 Happy Moment of Summer Break:  Refilling my Kindle with books to read!  I always check out the FREE books over on Amazon.  It's using the sort bar on the left, and then changing it to Price: Low to High.  There are always tons of free ones that I haven't yet read.

#2 - Catching Up on BlogLovin and Blogger Reading List. 

It's so sad.  I love to blog, but haven't been able to sit for long to actually read my people for extended times.  It's been a happy day around here, combine with that I was still in my PJs until 15 minutes ago (it's 2:20pm).  

#3 Netflix

Hubby and I have started rewatching Alias.  LOVE that show and it's been a while since we went through it.  We started watching it when we were engaged way back when... even had a red fish named Sydney at one time.  It's going to be a good summer!

I do have a tons of projects I want to complete both on the home and school fronts, but at least I feel the house is back to being decent after the hectic week.  I look forward to sharing them over here.  There is time for everything else.  It's Summer!

Hope you are having a fabulous day!
