I had been feeling kinda blah the last few days and I felt like a lot of it was because I needed a break. I needed to get out and go do something by myself without the two year old. I felt like I needed some alone time or some adult conversation. I love Zoee more than anything but I was tired. I was tired of trying to potty train, tired of watching Playhouse Disney, tired of cleaning up spilt milk and tired of refiling a juice cup and cutting up chicken nuggets. I felt really bad talking to Nate about it because this is what I wanted. This is what I chose and he works SO hard to give it to me so I felt really bad telling him I needed a break.
He was so good about it though and he said I could go do whatever I wanted today. Well, he put a few restriction on me but pretty much left it open for me to have the day to myself. I got up with Zoee at 7:30 and brought her back to bed with us because I didn't want to get up yet. We all laid in bed till about 8 and then Nate got up with her and took her down stairs to give her some breakfast. He closed the door and let me sleep for another hour! It was so nice. Zoee came in about 9 and climbed into bed with me. I was pretty much awake at that point and just decided to get out of bed. We all played and laid around for a little while and then I got ready to go. I didn't know what I was going to do, Nate just told me I had to be back by 4 so he could go to work. He got Zoee dressed and did her hair and they left to go some where and I was on my own.
I kinda drove around in a daze not really knowing what to do with my time. I didn't really need to do anything so I called to see if I could get my nails done. The girl could not get me in today so we scheduled an appointment for tomorrow. I am super excited. I drove to Toys R' Us and walked around looking for a few Christmas things for Zoee. I think I stayed there for more than an hour just looking at all the fun stuff I would like to get for her. After that I went to the bookstore and sat in a chair and read. I read a few children's books that looked cute and then I almost read the entire new Post Secret book. (I wanted to save some because I have that on my Christmas list) It was really nice to just relax and be able to shop without chasing Zoee around the store or having to stop several times to stop her from doing something. I ended up going home around 2 because I was hungry.
It was a good day. It was nice and much needed. I am so thankful for my husband who does so much for me. He is seriously one of the most caring generous people I know. He would do anything to make me happy and that means so much to me. I feel selfish most of the time and wish I could be a better wife to him. He is so amazing and I need to be more like him.
He also brought me this flower last night to help brighten my day. He put it in a jar of water and everything. He is so sweet.
Thanks Baby for all you do for me. You are the best!

What a hubby! I'm glad that you had a day to yourself! You deserve it..especially before baby number 2 comes along. :-) And yes that is John Thompson on my blog..he married my sister. They dated through most of high school, then they got married..it's their daughter that turned 4. Are you and John the same age?
Nate is a sweetie!!!!
I hate it when I have time to do something on my own and that's the time I can't think of ANY of the millions of things I need/want to do!!!
Nate's so thoughtful! He's a keeper!
Yeah, I'd say Nate's a winner. What a nice guy! And I say good for you to go just read at the bookstore!!! I'm impressed you didn't spend a bunch of money--that's what I would have a hard time with if I had a whole day to myself.
Nate is so awesome! It makes me really happy to see couples doing nice things for each other. And I'm glad you were able to get a bit of a break. Everyone needs one once in a while. Am I going to get to see you guys next week?
