Her Canvas Is Beautiful

Yesterday was not the greatest day for me. By the time I
got home from work all I wanted to do was go to bed. So
that's what I did. I wasn't feeling well, nothing seemed
to be going right. I just wanted the day to end. Today
however, was infinitely better.

I woke up feeling great. I dropped Annie off at school,
hit the gym and had an amazing workout! I think Zumba
class was the best one I've had since I started taking it!
They extended it to an hour instead of 45 minutes and I
really like Nancy, the instructor that's been doing it
lately.

After 3 hours in the gym, the little ones and I met up
with Snookums at the Subway on base for lunch. That was
nice. We haven't done that in a long time. Probably not
since he was on shore duty 5 years ago. The Stennis left
this morning for a month. I can't even begin to describe
how happy I am that Snookums isn't on that ship anymore.

The Commissary was my next stop. For some reason I felt
like I wanted to have chili for dinner tonight. It's been
on my mind for about a week now, because I bought a bag of
gluten-free cornbread mix and chili sounded like the
perfect dish to accompany it :) I also picked up a few
odds and ends we needed around the house. I'm hoping to
have a few days off (stupid on-calls. I hate not knowing
what my schedule will be) and the only thing I want to
leave the house for is to go to the gym.

I got home at the same moment Annie's bus pulled up. From
that moment until Snookums came home it was chaos! I was
helping Annie with her science project (throwing eggs off
the balcony wrapped in different materials), monitoring
Kiki's arts and crafts time (acrylic painting. Her canvas
is beautiful), putting groceries away, starting the chili,
feeding Keenan his afternoon snack and trying to catch up
on my facebook comments. Some people might be frazzled by
all that activity, but I love being home and immersed in
my family. Snookums came home about an hour after I did
and he helped finish up with Annie and Keenan while I
finished prepping the chili. While it simmered low and
slow, we went for a little walk around the block since it
was such a lovely day. The evening was quiet and here I am
now. I'm about to go hop in the shower and climb into bed.
I bought new bedding yesterday and it's heaven :) Ciao.
