Yippeee... its that great time of year where we get an extra hours sleep!!! But only of course if you remember to change your clocks. Otherwise you may be wondering why your out at the store and it isn't open yet! *smile*
I didn't have an update from yesterday because I was a bit under the weather, however I do have to pass out some hubby kudos for offering me a night to do nothing and lock myself in the bedroom for some much needed rest. Do I feel guilty that I got nothing done? NO! Do I feel guilty that I still have tons to get done? NO!! Am I feeling better after at least 24 hours of solo relax time? YES! Tons!!
I used to say that Mommies don't get a chance to be sick, and for once I did.... Hubby took care of the Vegman and the dogs, and I just got to be sick. Not that I like being sick. In fact I despise it! But nice to have that time to recoup without feeling like I had to do anything.
But after I came out of my cave, I mean bedroom, this afternoon, (Yes I said AFTERNOON) I did feel sad that I missed the whole beautiful day... So we got out this sun print kit that I got from Montessori Services..
Its basically photographic paper of sorts (if you can remember the photographs that were taken before we had digital cameras) And you set an object on top then put it in sunlight. Then wash the paper off and you watch the colors change as they dry. From positive to negative and back. And your object becomes printed on the paper.
We did a couple of these which was quite enjoyable. We made a key and a heart shape. Tomorrow, we'll do leaves and such. But Veg said "Mommy, if I kiss the paper, will my heart show up?" Awww!!! I wish that was the case!
Hubby and Veg got outside to play chalk which kept them both busy for quite a while and then they dallied in the sand box.
Once things got dark outside, Hubby left for church... and the fun didn't stop because Veg wanted to build a Block building.... So he and I started building, and building... Not sure if you can tell by the picture, but this is Veg's description... A restaurant, a zoo, parking garage, and work office are all inside this blockscape.
A quick dinner, and book reading... and Veg was off to sleep!
I, how ever was not sleepy? Maybe because of my 16hr sleep fest that happened earlier. So I cuddled up on the couch for the first time since we got these couches, and read a book.... Yup.. Me, I just read a book!! Nothing multifunctional, nothing important, nothing required, Just me and a book. I almost felt guilty for a second... and then NOT SO MUCH!!!!
So in summary, this was a great 48 hrs. Even if I couldn't lift my head up for 1/2 of it..... And now it is time to CHANGE THE CLOCKS BACK!!! So don't forget!!!
If you don't have kids, you may actually get an extra hour sleep! For those of us that do.... well lets just say, they don't understand that the clocks have changed!
