Coffee date
Betsy and I met up with some friends for coffee today, something I have not done in a long time…over a year I think. It was lovely. Carson was in school so it was good to be able to sit and drink my coffee instead of playing chase the whole time like I would have if Carson had been with us. But Betsy was a little grabby, so it wasn’t completely without its challenges.
I think I must either be getting a cold or am suffering from Houston allergies. I haven’t been sick with 2 kids yet, and it is not easy. All I want to do is sit down and sleep, but that is not an option. I did lay down on the couch this afternoon while Carson and Betsy played. There was a blanket on the chair next to the couch and I asked Carson to get it for me. He did and then said, “Mommy, you go to sleep, let’s turn on the music.” The “music” is what he calls his noisemaker.
Wait till he tells you that you need a time out. You think, “Oh, please yes, that would be wonderful!” But they never really mean it.
