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 ...

Friday Random

Sometimes it's nice to just write about what is going on. So here it goes....... I took Grayson to the store with me to grab a gift card. We can into Dollar General the store I have a love/hate relationship with. The isle's are so crowded and there are a million and one things for Grayson to grab. Needless to say he grabbed tic-tacs, a phone charger and certs all within the first 2 seconds of being there. Once I got him wrangled he asked for a "Dora ba-la-loon" (balloon) I agreed since he had gotten a super good report from school that day. And hey it was a dolla so why not. So we get the balloon, the gift card, and the cards I needed for father's day and head to checkout. Where he grabs to candy bars and laughs because he knows it's naughty. Anyway we get cashed out after lots of redirection and head to the car where he does not want to hold my hand in the parking lot because he wants to run! So I grab his arm and the whole time he is yelling "no m...
