Tyrone still works.
Blythes room has a cute bed, woodland wallpaper, a beautiful new dresser, book shelves and paint. Still quilt and rug to go. It is so cozy.
Tyrone's off week lined up with Blythe being tracked out so he stayed home and took care of her and the house and other kids! For three days in a row I woke up, worked out and then just walked out the door to work. I didn't have to pack Blythe's lunch, open the blinds, make the beds, sweep the floor, lock the doors, turn off lights and rush out to meet the bus. I didn't have to think up plans to keep Blythe busy for the day. I didn't have to arrange my day around the dryer repair. I didn't clean or grocery shop or bike to the park or spend hours watching her play at Marbles. I didn't make supper plans or cook or pick up other kids from after school sports. I didn't have to worry about what time I got home. I was just an adult going to a job I loved and then coming home to check in with my family at the end of the day. It was amazing... better than amazing. I felt like a free human being for the first time in a very long time. If you are on the receiving end of a partner who "stays home" you owe them a big thank you.
ECU swim team had their last regular season meet in Baltimore, Maryland. Next up ACC championships in Austin, TX.
Tyrone is still making supper a couple times a week. I feel so lucky!
Courtney got my kids obsessed with Hi-Chews.
Jaxon is starting, playing mostly the whole game. Usually in the top three scorers. Not bad for a sophomore! The Browns come to all the games. It's so fun to watch him play.
Blythe is ready for summer swim.
Scotia is trying to become a macaroon expert. They are time-consuming and tricky. Luckily I am still a house cleaning expert.
It all looks and sounds fabulous! A wonderful life! nana r.
