Breath of Fresh Air after the Storm

What a day of opposites!! Not only for the weather I guess. I started off my day with some fun getting my hair trimmed (gotta keep up with the shorter hair). My children behaved pretty well. Then, off to the gym for a swim! Oh - that was lovely! Then home for a bit to clean up the damage the twisters (my girls) caused. Then off to get my first pedicure ever!! I totally clipped off all my nails not even 3 days before I found out when we were going to go. I had fun anyway and had some energized feet! Then... off to find out my children decided to have a tinkle accident at my Home Teachers' house! I felt AWFUL! Then back home for a few hours before the Sister Missionaries came by for dinner and a message. My girls ran outside to greet them (of course) and then Julia ran back inside to lock us out!! I called Tara to see if she could bring me a screw driver and she was in the process of loading everyone up to come to my rescue! I love her! Thanks for being willing to be my "Knight in shining armor"! We prayed and begged and talked through the mail slot until Julia finally complied (... after much "ok mommmy, I let you in... (hrrmph) I can't reach it!!....) and opened the door! So... 20 minutes after dinner was supposed to start... it did. After dinner... BLISS! I put the girls down and they were out by 7:10 pm. I got the chance to clean the downstairs, cut the grass (weedeat) and give myself a little bit of a break. Oh how I miss the 7 o'clock bedtime. Looks like we will forgo naps from now on so mommy can have blissful evenings filled with light cleaning, books, and relaxing. So, I'm enjoying my chance to breathe. Tomorrow will be another day for me to fret and get things done - but hey I'll have nice toes and nice hair while I'm doing it.

I got the cool storm pic from this website.
