Today was a today but a new and different day. I woke up early to do Zumba Wii. Glad I did because I needed the energy for the rest of my day. Bryan didn't have to leave until 8:30 which blessed me with not only time to really finish getting ready, but to finish getting the details done for our presidency meeting scheduled at 9. Our little dude went with me this morning to our presidency meeting at the second counselor's home. I prayed he wouldn't be too fussy, especially since he woke up early and didn't sleep through the night. I have a hard time concentrating and focusing during presidency meetings when he is fussy, especially with the new whine he has invented as of late.:) Overall, he did pretty well. He had his crying bouts when he thought that someone was taking his cars away from him, but a hug and being held was able to console most of it. Then after the 2 hour pretty successful presidency meeting, we headed home. It was then around 11:30 I realized that I had only eaten a banana for breakfast, which helped me recognize why I was starving, and I had forgotten to take something for my allergies that the insane but beautiful early spring brought that we have been having as of late, which explained the headache I was dealing with. So after a glass of water, 2 ibprofen, and a zyrtec, I changed out of church clothes and got our little dude some lunch. Then I had a knock at the door and one of my sweet visiting teachers showed up at my door with some delicious bread and a hug. A very much needed treat and a tender mercy. Sometimes when you try so hard to care about others, it is nice to be surprisingly cared about yourself.
Then it was naptime for our little dude and I actually got to breathe for a moment. I got myself some lunch and sat down and watched President Monson's talk from the recent General Conference (see below). I then had a thought to talk with someone via phone and was glad to hear she was doing alright. Then I decided to take a pleasure of all pleasures for myself....I took a nap.:) It was a lovely hour in length. Then our little dude was up for the afternoon and I dropped him off at one of his grandma's , and went and got my yearly hair cut. ( I say yearly because I always seem to cut it short, then grow it out and by the time to cut it comes again it has usually been a year:) Then I went back to my mom's and had an emotionally sustaining conversation with her while playing with my son Then little dude and I went on a walk with my sister. We then loaded up in the car, headed home for dinner. After dinner it was little guy's bedtime and my time. Bryan had class tonight, so I heated up some leftovers and watched the news and even pinned a little to pintrest:).
A wonderful day. A perfect day to me. A day full of joy. No my house isn't cleaned and there is still laundry to be folded, but we lived lives of joy.
Ready to find the joy in tomorrow.
