We were in need of a real sit-down meal and I had declared my kitchen closed. So last night we met Mommy and kids for a quick dinner. (Yes, I'm letting a bowl of chili at a diner count as the sit-down meal of the week.) It was just that kind of week. Thankfully that kind of week doesn't happen often.
Baby Sister might have whip lash today because her little head flipped back and forth at lightening speed last night to see everything that was happening. It seemed that a lot of moms and dads had declared their own kitchens "closed" last night, too. Lots and lots of children and parents arrived at Spice Diner all at the same time. It was a bit of a circus.

See how that feels?"
So here I sit on a Monday morning, coffee in hand and enjoying the early morning quiet. Committee work is finished, the car is fixed, no one is getting married this week, no parties to cook for, no ukulele gigs for a few weeks.
I think I'm going to like the next few days.

Oh, I hope you have a lovely, relaxed FALL week. You have certainly earned one.
ReplyDeleteI hear you! Yes indeed-y. Congrats getting through a crunch week. Hope you get to enjoy a slower tempo--for a few days at least :).
