It all comes out in the wash

After my mini breakdown light bulb moment yesterday morning my day turned around in a HUGE way.
Work sailed by (praise the lord! Monday's can be the.worst!)
I called my Mom saying I was leaving work and on my way to grab Grayson. She must have felt my need. My need to swim without having multiple heart attacks about Grayson being in the pool. I mean I know he is OK we have a fancy float that he goes in and we always hold the float but it is not the same. ( Part of me feels like a bad mom as I type this).
So my mom had Grayson because Michael had to work 6 days this week anyway.
I went home grabbed a bud light lime changed into my swimsuit and swimming I went.

I don't really swim I walk laps around the pool. Because let me honest when it is 92 degrees outside there is no walking unless half of your body is submerged in water. I was in the pool for two beers 45 mins got out changed and just as came downstairs my beautiful baby boy was coming through the door.
I felt pure bliss.
I'm truly so blessed. I got to swim and then I was a refreshed. I was a better mommy because of it.
The rest of the night consisted of Grayson and I playing inside (because the heat was just to much for him) on his play mat. Rolling over several times. Signing the laundry folding song. Dinner with Daddy and then watching Real Housewives of NJ ( I was putting him to bed so he was not really watching it).
My husband was home but outside helping Chris with his canoe trailer. My hubby is great with fixing things and is a great welder so he was being a great best friend and helping a brotha out.
On a side note- Chris is Michael's best friend since they were 5. They have had ups and downs but they truly are like brothers. I'm best friends with Chris's fiance Tracy and Michael and I actually introduced them 5 years ago and now they are getting married. Chris is Grayson's Godfather. And we are truly over the moon to have them as Grayson's Aunt and Uncle and our best friends.
Anywho Michael came in round 6 said " Baby how about I run to the store and get subs for dinner?" to which I replied " Sounds perfect".
I was just the best night. The kind of night I needed to feel like me again.
Yes my floors went UN vacuumed again, my laundry still sits and the bathroom could use a scrub,but I feel more like me today then I have in a good month.
It all comes out in the wash or pool.

Friday Favorites

Love that it's Friday Love that its Friday and we have a beautiful weekend ahead of us! Linking up with Andrea today! One These PJ's. When we first got married (and even before I was married really) I used to wear cute PJ's to bed and then I started to wear not so cute PJ's to bed so I ordered some new ones and OMG girls get these now. So so soft so so comfy and under $20.00! Plus they have pockets!   Two While your shopping at Kohls throw some of these picture frames in your cart! Just for fun! I love that they are easy to change out and have a distressed look! Plus they can sit on a shelf or be hung on the wall. Love! Three We have been swimming like crazy and that equals all the things that go with swimming like a million towels and swim suits. My bathroom was a mess. I usually never wash my swim suits I just rinse them out and hang dry they last a lot longer doing it that way and so I had things hanging every where! So I ord

A nice little sweet spot

The sweet spot…. We seem to have hit one. I feel like we have not been in a sweet spot since the twins were about 6 months old. You know before they were mobile and can get into a ton of mischief. When kids are 0-6 months they still like to be held they eat mostly bottles and they mostly just stay in one spot. No issues, you can go places and even though you have to pack up your whole house to be prepared you can relax. And if you are in my family someone is always willing to hold or feed or change a baby. 7-months to 2.5 years old is what I refer to as the lost years. You have so many things you have to do for them they are not potty trained and they are mobile and get into EVERYTHING. Going outside is more work than its worth and with twins they scatter in opposite directions. Three on one is so hard handle in big open spaces. I would often find myself skipping outside time because the work was just too much for me. When the twins turned 3 and Grayson was 6 it felt like we had a

Home Schooling

Ah home schooling something that all of the country was thrown into. March 13 th was the last day that Grayson went to school and Charlotte and Marshalls last day was March 12 th . We got the call on March 15 th that school was closed for 2 weeks and that a pick up for at home materials would be on Tuesday. It was not required just suggested and so we loosely did school work. A worksheet here, spelling words here, some math problems ya know simple things. We truly believed that 2 weeks and they would be back in the classroom that is what the district presented as happening and so the distance learning was just to occupy time not to really learn anything new. Everything we were given was review.  Then we got the notification March 30 th we were closed again for another 2 weeks. Again, we were being loose with the learning because I was now working from home all but one day a week and had all three kids home and lets be honest it was a lot. Michael was still working 4-5 days a wee
