sunday

It is Sunday night, it is getting late, but I just wanted to say: I am loving spring break.

Had a fantastic day today, partly because I was able to just chill and enjoy it...I didn't worry about sticking to a schedule or how I looked, or if the Pea got her clothes all messed up (which she did, of course)...I didn't stress when my camera died at an inopportune time, although I was sad...and when a party I attended this afternoon wasn't exactly what I had in mind and so had to leave early to run through a drive-thru for dinner, I didn't get all pissed off. Sounds obvious, and simple, but I wasn't always that way.

The Pea and I started the day by getting up early, getting the laundry done, and straightening the house (thank God, cuz otherwise I would be doing it now). Then JD came into town and we headed to the beach...first we had a nice brunch and after we hung on the beach building sand castles, enjoying the weather, and soaking up the sun...then we went home and the Pea and I got ready for an afternoon tea party and ballet. We attended this same event last year, and she had a blast. Last year of course we ate beforehand, only to be greeted with all variety of cheese, cracker, and sandwich that you could imagine, and this year (being smart, or so I thought) we skipped lunch and were offered only a few cookies and a cupcake...oopsie. The performance after the party was lovely, and despite having to leave a few minutes before the final act because the Pea was getting CRANK-EEE (only having a cookie and the frosting off a cupcake since brunch did not a happy baby make) we had a lot of fun.

It wasn't just today that was fantastic...I have had a truly lovely week. There have been moments, where I had to deal with a reality that I didn't want to, or I got a little down, but overall...very cool...fingers crossed for another one.
