Surprise! Luke and I got the day off today. It was a typical morning around the house. Ralphie and Sophie jumped out of bed at 5:30 a.m., ready to run up and down the fence with the other neighborhood dogs out doing their business. Luke woke up shortly after, ready for his morning bottle. While we ate breakfast, we watched House Hunters International to shop for our vacation home. I think we're coming to the conclusion that we're going to build a bad-ass retirement home on some random lake in the U.S. - airplane tickets abroad are just too expensive. After coming to that conclusion, it was time to get dressed, pack lunch, and play for a bit before the morning commute. Now, let me tell you - each day the drive to work becomes more and more painful because the weather down here finally got the memo that it is FALL, not SUMMER. Thank goodness it is already Thursday, so we savored the bit of hope that we could enjoy the weather soon.....Luckily, it we got the chance sooner than we thought....
Just as I was pulling into the daycare parking lot, Luke's teacher, Ms. Tiffanie, called to say that school was cancelled! Turns out there was a maintenance issue (sewer problems in the neighborhood), so businesses had to close. After a moment of panic on what to do with Luke, I decided to take the day off. This couldn't have come at a better time:
So, chances are most of you haven't heard from us for a few weeks. I call my mom and Patrick's mom to assure them that we are still alive and we haven't been eaten by alligators. Patrick has been travelling to Minot, Omaha, and Vegas while I've been behind preparing my company for an audit on our Quality Managment System. Not to mention, Luke's tummy was upset for a bit last week and I had two projects due for school. So no, we are not dead...just busy :)
After a fabulous day of shopping, cleaning, and NAPPING, Luke and I are ready to face the world again. Even if there isn't a maintenance issue at daycare next month, I think I might just take a mental maintenance day because nothing in the world feels better. Well, maybe having a husband around to enjoy the day with, but we have 72 days left before that can happen....
