Last week, I was off of work two days. One, an unscheduled sick day. The other, a very scheduled, very needed mental health day. (Plus I had to use up my personal day before the end of our year, June 30.)
It was just the break I needed.
First, the kids' stuff:
 |
| Mismatch Day at Preschool |
 |
| Kindergarten Graduation |
 |
| Beach Party Night at Colin's Speech School |
Now for the "ME" stuff:
 |
I gardened
(Is that even a word?) |
|
 |
| I prettied up the deck |
 |
| I went for a run |
 |
I ate a healthy lunch.
ALONE.
WITH A BOOK. |
|
 |
I got out my summer clothes
and organized my closet. |
 |
| I read some more. |
 |
| I snuck in an AWESOME movie with my husband. |
 |
| We had popcorn |
When the kids came home from school, I felt refreshed.
It was something I hadn't felt in months.
So glad for some me time before we start on our summer bucket list.

I had a "me" day a couple of weeks ago. It was awesome! By the end of the day, I felt more rested than if I had taken a nap. Funny how that works. :) So glad you were able to get one!
My 3 1/2-year old twins will be starting preschool in the fall (six hours a week in total). While it's bittersweet, I'm looking forward to a bit of "me" time, too!
Hope you have a great summer with your family!
I'm glad that you were refreshed. I can't remember the last time I felt that way!
I'm curious, though - what book are you reading? :)
