What a blessed errand day - even in this November rain. But I will be ready for a little night out tonight. Dinner with my friend before off to Bible Study. Phew.

For the first time since I had kids I am working full time. It's seasonal but it's giving me quite the perspective on being a stay at home mom. Sounds crazy.. but I miss the kind of day you listed!! Everything you did this day, you did for your family.
Thank you Jen. I really appreciate your comment. I was wondering if we'd see you around the gym at all this season during holiday breaks (Andrew has his OWN bike, now). :)
Take care during this extra busy season of your life... and you're doing it for your family, too. :)
