Saturday was such a blessed reprieve from the craziness of the last month. I had planned to go into the office on Sunday, so I knew Saturday would be a mix of errands and laundry and playing catch up. Fortunately, my work project got moved around a bit and Saturday turned into a day of rest and playing a much more fun version of catch up.
The kids spent the night with my parents in the camper on Friday night. They made s’mores and ate pizza and watched movies. That meant I got to sleep a little later and, fortunately, the furriest member of our family slept late, too. After drinking an entire pot of coffee all by myself, my mom and I ran to a local yard sale. I didn’t buy anything, but she picked up some pretty towel hooks for the barn and then later a sweet friend delivered these beautiful treasures for us to share! I cannot get enough of that gold glass.
I spent the rest of the day cleaning and organizing my house. I transitioned my closets from summer to fall, took a ton of stuff to the donation drop off, and helped the girls get a handle on their laundry. They even volunteered to help me for a few hours — Sophie cleaned out a few junk drawers in my dresser, while Ella organized my jewelry box and ring dishes.
We worked on some obedience training with Scoop, finished up our latest jigsaw puzzle, and I got a head start on a few blog posts for the week. I threw some barbecue chicken in the slow cooker and we alternated between watching the Alabama game and Anne with an E, until both girls fell asleep in our bed.
It was such a low key weekend for us, but so welcome and needed. I finally feeling like myself again and I’m not drowning in unfiled paperwork and mountains of clean laundry!
