The Day Off

What a nice day. I got up this morning fully intending to clean up the house. Instead, I ended up giving myself the day off. Sometimes it's really nice to be your own boss!!

My son had asked for some early adult photos of my dad and his brothers. There's one particular photo of my youngest uncle that he wanted, so before I got sidetracked this morning I pulled out my family photos. I didn't come up with the photo in question, but I got lost in going through family photos.

There were just tons of photos of my kids at all stages of their lives. There were older photos of me as a little girl, with my folks, with my grandparents, with my cousins. There were even “pre-me” photos of my folks, grandparents, Mom as a teenager with her parents and brothers. I even found a photo of my grandparents' home in Jefferson City – I'd forgotten that photo even existed.

It was a fun trip down Memory Lane. And by the time I finished it, the clock said 10:45. It was time for me to get lunch started – so much for getting the house cleaned up! Yes, I could have done it this afternoon. I just decided to wait until tomorrow. Again, it's nice to be your own boss!

I read for awhile after lunch and hubby worked on his personal podcasts. We decided to break with the norm and got an ice cream cone to enjoy while we cruised around town. And I totally got caught – as we went around the town square, there was Mom walking down the sidewalk and watching me eat the ice cream cone! You can never fool mom.

I've enjoyed my day. It remains to be seen how I'll enjoy cleaning up the house tomorrow, but I'm sure it'll be just fine!

Everyone have a wonderful weekend!
