Today was fantastic. It was so fantastic that I wanted to blog about it!!

It started off with Patrick being home this morning. That is always great. 🙂 We didn’t get a kidless coffee date but a cute little boy was in a great mood when he woke up, so his smiles and giggles made up for the early wake up call.

B took great naps today which allowed me to post a blog post that i’ve been working on for weeks.

The best part of the day was definately this afternoon. Bennett went down for a nap and Patrick and I got to eat lunch together and hang out for a bit. Patrick had planned on taking Bennett to run errands with him this afternoon so for the 2nd time in 6 months, I would be home alone.

So after B woke up from him 2 hour nap (yessssss), I fed him, packed his diaper bag and off they went.

I had two glorious hours to myself. I originally planned to just veg out on the couch for 2 hours but after watching a 45 minute show and painting my nails, I knew exactly what I wanted to do. I wanted go on a run. I’m thankful that B does well when I take him on runs but there is something about just being out there by myself, headphones in and not a care in the world. It was fantastic seeing how it hasn’t happened since Bennett has been here. I’ve gone to the gym but haven’t ran outside by myself… since well… like 3 months pregnant.

Patrick and Bennett arrived home and Patrick said I had mail. I never get mail! It was from Amazon and I was racking my brain for what I had ordered and couldn’t remember anything! So, I open it up and a set of 4 coasters were in there. You see, sweet Liv had eaten one of my cork ones a few days earlier. It really wasn’t a big deal! They were dollar store coasters!! Catherine had mentioned that they had bamboo coasters that didn’t break whenever Liv chewed on them. I didn’t even think twice about them until I opened up the package.

My heart is full.

Finally, we went to get Patricks hair cut in preparation for Easter tomorrow. 🙂 Can we saw bow chica wow wowoowwwwww. Favorite haircut yet!

I feel refreshed after an afternoon to myself. I feel loved from the sweet gift from a sweet friend. I feel energized after being able to soak up some vitamin D while on my run. I feel thankful for a day full of refreshing moments. The house is clean, the dishes are put away, I’m about to fold some laundry and I can honestly say that today was a good day.
