Today was an over all good day!

Have you ever had a day that you managed to put off getting something done, and it turn out to be the best choice for you? Today was that day. My "to-do" list is full, and there are chores that require packing up Little Miss and driving somewhere. I kept putting it off by talking to T2, Mom, and T3 on Skype (each at their own homes, too bad a s a family conference call is always fun!), looking for a newer home that is more like a home for this little family rather than resembling the little old lady living in a shoe, and playing with Little Miss. The day passed from morning to afternoon fairly quickly with all this busy work of talking, wrangling baby-squirms-a-lot and searching online for homes. I managed a few household chores that I won't postpone, and before we knew it, The Daddy was home! We settled in to our evening routine of "What do you want for dinner, what are we doing, am I leaving the house at all tonight?", got things settled and enjoyed our night together.
Mid-afternoon's crazylazyness was abruptly interrupted by the sky going from partly cloudy and bright to churning grey skies, high winds and rain in less than five minutes. Little Miss, the dogs, the cat, and I all went downstairs to wait out the creepy weather, then went back to our nonproductive day.
The Daddy came home, A smiled as big as ever, we settled in and watched nonsense TV while talking and feeding and entertaining the quickly bored Tyrant.  9pm came and went with our sweet girl still wide awake. My goodness the kid had energy today! Awake at 5 am, slept for an hour nap in the morning, slept for an hour nap in the afternoon right before the storm for less than an hour, then was still wide awake. By 9:30 she was giving it up and was out in less than 15 minutes.
Mr K and I watched a documentary on John Lennon, and enjoyed the film.  We love The Beatles in this home. We used to sing (what you might call a cat wailing in agony if you were to hear this mess) to each other and to Tyrant in utero (hmm maybe this is why she is our Two Foot Tyrant now? Payback for torture?) and still love to listen to their music anytime we ride together (rare these days).

So, instead of driving around using up gas, spending money in a few places, I stayed home, enjoyed my quality time with my daughter, sister, mother, and brother, and husband, and was home when scary weather threatened with possible tornadoes. An overall good day.
