Just when I thought the stomach bug was gone, it decided to make an appearance at the beginning of last weekend. After a rough night on Thursday {we ended up having a slumber party in the living room}, we all hunkered down for the weekend and tried not to spread it to anyone else. As the only non sick person {since I had it the weekend before}, I spent most of the time washing sheets and disinfecting anything and everything I could. Everyone seems to be totally fine now and hopefully it’s gone for good! I don’t know what’s more pitiful…watching your little kids get sick or your grown husband. 🙁
Whoever came up with the idea of a drive thru at the library was a genius. After placing them on hold online, I was able to pick them up after the library emailed to let me know they were ready. I could get used to this! Even though I was hoping to read Made to Crave* this month, I decided to start with Raising Your Spirited Child* first. Call it reading out of necessity…ha! So far, I’m really enjoying it.
Kev and I originally planned a date night for this weekend in Baltimore. When he realized he was scheduled to work and could no longer join us on the trip, we opted for another at home date night this month. After Kev realized I had never seen the original Star Wars movies {I saw the first of the prequels back in high school but didn’t understand any of it}, we both agreed that it was time to change that. I’ll be honest, the jury is still out. I’ll wait until I’ve seen all of them before I make up my mind.
We enjoyed quite a few nice spring days this week here in Virginia. I’m so thankful for our azaleas. They are in bloom now and basically the only thing pretty in our yard. It’s an extremely slow work in progress. The cute little green caterpillars are also out everywhere…on the windshield of my car, dangling from trees, and even on my jeans.
I am so excited that Richmond now has an Aldi grocery store. I’ve been hearing great things about Aldi for years, but now I will have access to one! The grand opening was yesterday, but word got out that they had a soft opening on Wednesday, so I stopped in to check it out. It was a quick trip since they were closing in 10 minutes, but I’m looking forward to stopping back in again soon.
I’ve always known that my husband was a wonderful man, but he really blessed me today after I got a flat tire on I-95. I’m so thankful it happened when I was only 40 minutes away from home and that he was able to come to my rescue. I’d like to learn how to change a tire myself someday, but today was not the day for it. I was so thankful for the kindness shown to me by the state trooper and the gentleman who worked for VDOT that helped. We knew we were looking at new tires soon, but God decided it needed to be today! The kids were so patient and we ended up at our destination before dark.
Yay for Aldi's! We have one in Fort Wayne, but it's across town so I don't make there as often as I do. When I go, I do stock up on their baking supplies. I'm so glad your husband was able to change your flat tire! I've been watching my little boy start walking this week. That's been my favorite moment by far!
Oh, watching little ones start to walk is so much fun!! I bet your little boy keeps you on your toes!! Thanks for sharing!! 🙂
