This is #day8.
Over the summer, I am writing a short post about our day. The posts highlight some of our fun times, boring times, and imperfect times.


#Day8

After an emotional and exhausting weekend, a slow day was needed.

. . But
. . . . . . . . slow days
. . . . are
. . . . . . . . . . . . . rarely
. . . . . . uneventful.

Daddy gets up and leaves early.
Boy and I

• Have breakfast
• Hang out together
• Do our own things
• Have ice cream (way too early)
• Laugh a lot
• Make lunch

The builder never returned.
We wonder if we are destined to live in chaos.

I try to post insightful and value-based content.
Nothing happens.
I share a random picture of a trolley and put my phone away.

Husband and I talk.
Boy jumps and shouts and dances around us.

We call grandma.
Should we visit?
Boy worries. He doesn’t want to go.

Dinner is “Random Fridge Mix.”
Why is that such a yummy meal?

Husband and I talk about an amazing slide in Canada that we won’t go to.
Boy decides going away is a great idea.
We buy tickets.

Excitement and craziness reign until bedtime.
Then, anxiety arrives with a crash.
Boy no longer wants to go.
We snuggle until he sleeps.

Like other days, I mummed imperfectly.
Boy was perfect (mostly)
And, husband is already perfectly asleep

Before bed, I check social media.
The trolley post was doing well.

Tomorrow, we get organised. And play. And have fun.

How do you embrace slow days?
