I would just like to say that I have an amazing husband. I celebrated my birthday this week, and on top of gifts and cake and fun on my actual birthday, I got the day off on Saturday. Mr. B did all the work, and he did a really great job.
I started out the day going for a run outside (it was perfect weather), and after my shower I lounged on the couch with a book while Mr. B took the kids to the park. He had already cleaned up breakfast, toys and vacuumed, so I was relaxing in a clean environment.
I met a wonderful friend for lunch at one of my favorite cafes, after which I went on a successful shoe shopping spree. I arrived home, spent some more time reading on the couch (alternating some kid time--they're so stinkin' cute!), and then went out to dinner with the family. We tried Mellow Mushroom for the first time, and it was great.
I came home and read some more while Mr. B bathed the kids and put them to bed. I watched Project Runway on the computer, and then I finished my book and went to bed.
Perfect day.
Even though I did play with the kids and help out a bit, I learned that being a mom is SO much better when I'm not compelled to do anything. I really enjoyed putting Ian down for his morning nap, knowing that I didn't have to do it. And playing with the kids for awhile instead of reading my book was nice because I knew I could go back to my book whenever I wanted. Such a relaxing feeling. Thanks Mr. B!!!
