Today Was Better
Probably because, being Friday, there’s not much I could do about either the job search or the ex. So I took the kids to VBS and then went by the library to renew my card and check out some old friends. I read one of them and then picked up the kids at noon. I folded some laundry, cleaned the kitchen, weeded a lot of flowerbeds, and just kind of puttered around the house today. I guess “took it easy” would be sort of the thing, although I get the idea that my “taking it easy” is not quite the same as other people’s.
Tomorrow the ex says he will pick up the kids at 8 for visitation. He usually picks them up at 10:30 or after because of his Russian class, but his Russian teacher is out of town for a while, so he’s going to come on time. Except, last time he said he would pick them up at 8, he overslept and ended up not coming until 10:30. So we will all be dressed and ready, but I’ll have a fascinating movie or story ready just in case.
Mom and I are going to go buy our shoes for the wedding tomorrow morning, and I have an appointment to get my hair cut tomorrow afternoon, so my day’s already spent. But I got the living room tidied up yesterday, and the kitchen is clean, so I don’t mind. I can putter some more on Sunday after church. And after I check the new want ads.
