I love my days off. I feel like a housewife, by getting all my around the house chores done, and then I usually get the grocery shopping taken care of. I decided about 3 months ago that I don't make for a really good stay at home mom. In a perfect world I would be home with my kids baking cookies and singing songs by the piano all day, followed up with a little craft project in the afternoon. But in my world it just doesn't work. I wanted to be all the things to my kids that my mom wasn't...I think that's what every mom wants for their children. In our reality, we need 2 incomes and Ryan is doing very well in daycare. So now that I'm a working mom, I enjoy pretending on my off days that I live this fantasy world. Today...I'm going to pick up my dear friend Andrea, who yesterday had a tragic death in the family & I want to be there for her as much as possible, then ikea to purchase some much needed storage and other odds and ends for the house. After that we are going to my dads for a visit and to pick up a lens for my camera. Tomorrow we are doing some family portraits...just for fun. BTW: Countrywide has made an offer to keep us out of foreclosure. The guy on the phone implied that we "wouldn't have a problem with the amount", keep in mind, they know our very bottom line. I have a feeling the price tag will make most people cry. Maybe there is a BIG FAT HUGE pot of gold at the end of this rainbow.
>>I love the picture of Ryan. To love him is to love every booger that comes out of his nose!
