Some days, you just need a break. A break from housework or even from the house itself. Time away from the computer. Time without a two year old hanging around your leg.
This weekend, I got all of the above. Maybe not all at once, but somehow I was blessed to get a much needed break.
Playing together at the park
My mother in-law called Sunday morning to see if Lil Man would like to go shopping with Grandma. After they went shopping she brought him back and asked if maybe he could spend some time out at her house. We didn’t hesitate a bit! Hubs and I had some time to ourselves. We watched a movie, went for a drive, walked about 2 miles on the Rails to Trails and then went for lunch at Arby’s.
Then we headed out to Grandpa and Grandma’s house where Lil Man was delighted to find us when he woke up from his nap. Hub did some work on the yard out there and we stayed for pizza.
On Monday Hubs and Lil Man left early and went back out to Grandpa and Grandma’s to work in the yard and burn a brush pile while it was still cool. This gave me some time alone. Yes, I said alone. I very rarely get 3 whole hours to myself!
I got some laundry in, did my hair and make-up then headed to Walmart and Home Depot where I picked up some flower pots, soil, and a few plants. I took them home and got them all potted and looking pretty. Got some more laundry going, fixed a veggie tray and a few other goodies, then headed back out the door.
We spend all day Monday out at Hub’s family’s place in the country. We cooked out for lunch and supper, ate way more than we should have and just enjoyed some time together, celebrating Grandma’s birthday!
This whole time I was away from the computer, and most of the time, away from the house. 
Ahh. It sure was nice to have a little break!
