Half way through the week

I'm on a countdown again...this time until March 22, which is when Scott begins his vacation time (finally!) I'm pretty excited to have him home...and I know he's looking forward to some time off. He's tired...been working lots although now he's finally slowing down, thank goodness. We're planning on just doing family things in and around the city. We're planning on going swimming one day with the kids, and doing an afternoon matinee (maybe the Lorax movie?!), and whatever else tickles our fancy.

Had to make a slight adjustment to the menu this week. I needed to do a big grocery shopping trip and I asked Scott to come with me because having the two kids (especially one in a car seat) just isn't practical for picking up huge amounts of groceries. So we went to Safeway and took advantage of customer appreciation day plus the bonus 300 air miles that windermere safeway is offering until tomorrow. (yay!) I love collecting air miles. I really didn't take full advantage of all the air miles deals until recently, but I'm planning on carefully scheduling future grocery trips to coincide with airmiles bonus days! We have enough right now to get an ipad I think, so we're probably going to order one of those one day soon.

I digress...I made a menu change. Because we were going to be making a big grocery trip, I decided we should eat out quickly before going to the store. So we stopped at edo and grabbed a bite before heading to shop. Today I'm back on track - the lentil soup is simmering on the stove (hope it tastes good).

My aunt watched Annika for me this morning while I went to a doctor's appointment. It was nice not to have to juggle 2 kids! We've had a great week so far. Annika has been a lot better this week. To be honest, I think I've been better too. Not so short-tempered, more patient, and just all around feeling better about my mommy-ing! I think we all have those days, and I'm sure they'll come around for me again soon. But for now I'm going to enjoy today and just be content that today is a good day.

Hope your day is a good one too...
