WW – Typical Day, Not so Typical Night

July 21, 2010 by Elaine


I went to bed “uncharacteristically early” last night..

(guess the movie and you WIN! nothing but Miss Elaine-ous life kudos points)
Therefore I did not post my usual WW post BEFORE I sacked out.

The day was similar to many.

Dropped one kiddo off at “summer” school…

Took the other two to the gym day care while I worked out…


Read blogs and twitter while eating my lunch while baby napped and The B Man played…

Picked up Little G from school…

Put stamp on the envelope I meant to send yesterday after realizing that is WHY the mailman didn’t take it. Yeah apparently, no stamp = no takie. Huh…

(no, I am NOT naturally blond anymore but I still act like it sometimes)

Fed the cutest Baby K a few times…

Changed a pair of “I just tee-teed in them a little” Buzz Lightyear undies…

Made dinner…

Helped bathe them all…


I try not to take all of this for granted. Some of it may seem mundane and at times, it is. But that’s okay.

Most days I do my best to be thankful for my healthy, beautiful children and my loving, helpful husband.

And yesterday I was also thankful for early bedtimes…

    What cute kidos!

    I absolutely love mediocre days (and early bedtimes!!!!). I would rather have everyday just normal and nice rather then having great days followed by bad days.

    Does that make sense?

    I love bathtime pictures. Something about a clean, happy kid playing in water just brings out the best smiles. 😉

    The day can get busy and we miss out on the little things. Like that stamp. Oh well…At least it is in the mail now. Love the shots of the kids.
