Tonight I am thankful for a peaceful evening at home. No sports games. Practices that were done before dinner time. Rainy afternoon to cozy up inside & spend time as a family. Wait, did I say that it was peaceful?
That was a lie. It wasn't really peaceful. Tate's candy eating/staying home from school caused some craziness. Or maybe I was just less able to handle his normal behavior. Chase & Kaleb argued several times - computer issues, who left the light on, how they were going to work together on the kitchen. Jake's in a seriously grumpy stressed out mood. Don't ask why - I wouldn't be allowed to tell you on the evil internet anyway.
All of the usual cuckoo-ness of a full house aside - I chose not to go to two different church things that I could/should have gone to. I ran some errands earlier in the day but they weren't really pressing or stressful. I fed people dinner but that was laid back, too. I stayed home & didn't think about all of the other "to do's" that I need to eventually accomplish. I didn't run around picking up or dropping off. I wasn't trying to be on time or making sure that kids had cleats or water bottles or homework or permission slips.
I sort of mentally took the evening off and I'm thankful for the break.
