A Godsend

Today was a day from Jesus. Literally the Lord knew what I needed. as soon as i woke up this morning i had a text from casey asking if ben worked today (which he did) and if i wanted her to watch zander and ronan for the morning. and first i said no, it's labor day which is a family holiday and i thought she'd want to spend time with her family. it's very hard for me to take help from other people. then i was like, who am i kidding i've been praying for a break and this is exactly what i needed. so i said if she was still offering i was accepting. so i dropped the boys off at 10 and cried for a good portion in the car feeling guilty for getting this free time. i wanted to do something that required ZERO effort so i would still feel rested. so i opted for a movie. off to the theater to see sisterhood of the traveling pants 2. i go tthere and was sitting there by myself and started crying again cause i am an emotional basketcase. i think there has just been something there ready to break. thank you pregnancy. and let me just say that the movie was not a good one for a weepy woman. it wasn't overtly sad for the normal person, but hey, it's me. so i cried through the whole movie. because of the girlfriends, the sad mom parts, etc. all in all, it was soooo relaxing and just what the doctor ordered. i picked the boys up and ronan was cuddling on casey and didn't want to leave her. always a good sign. she said they were good but busy. she even fed them lunch. so i brought them home put them to bed and that was that! then after they woke up i had a renewed vigor for them and the playful side of me was back. so we went for a walk after dinner and then i got sick sick sick. back home, on the bed, and laid there till ben got home. as soon as he walked in the boys jumped on him and wrestled for the next hour. it was so cute to watch them. there is nothing better than watching your husband play with your kids and love doing it. now i'm waiting for ben to get back from running.... what a good day.
