I cleaned late last night,
Worked out this morning,
and now the girls each have a playdate here.
Call me nuts,
but it's easier to have two extra girls here for the afternoon.
They will happily play,
and I will recharge my batteries.
Reminder to self,
4 kids home for 11 days will exhaust you,
and will be fantastic too.
They will make a mess.
There will be piles of laundry upon their return to school.
Floors to clean,
and of course unplanned projects (more on that tomorrow...).
This afternoon I'm recharging with....
A good lunch...these are my favorite veggie burgers...
a new read....
a soy chai latte
A little treat....
shhhh...nobody has discovered my secret dark chocolate stash yet...
And then bake and decorate cookies with the girls and their friends...
A perfect afternoon.
How about you?
What do you do to recharge?

Hi Julie, your tulip 'ornament' for the cookies is great! To recharge I send Mark with the children for a lovely bike ride, make myself much much tea, add a (or 2) chocolate bars, pick some magazines, jump on the couch covered in my favorite pink/white quilt en dream away.... Hoping the bike ride will take at least 1 hour!
ReplyDeleteHave a happy day, sweet Julie. xoxo
Oh you are so right about having friends over. Even though it is louder it keeps everyone happier. I am so going to try that soy chai latte, yum! You are such a good mommy for baking with the kids, sounds like fun!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind words and prayers!
I recharge by renovating and completing a poroject I can ACTUALLY hold in my hands and SEE results. :) I also recharge by blogging...which explains why this week has not only made me disappear..but I may need a blogging fix every 4 hrs to keep my sanity this q. :)
