Great Day!

Today has been a great day!  My son has been sick lately and hasn’t eaten in days and today, he’s starting to eat something.  I can’t begin to tell you the relief it gives me.  Phew! The weather is nice outside (and only going to get nicer as the days go on).

The day started out with Brody and I meeting our friends at the brand new Whole Foods in Raleigh.  They were giving out coupons, free samples, and freebies for the kids and adults.  The store was packed!  I loved every minute of it (although would prefer to get around easier without the crowds).  Their customer service is just amazing!  I didn’t get much, but did take advantage of a few freebies and coupons for this visit.  I even left with a free recyclable bag (love those things).

This afternoon, we went to Gap.  I had a coupon for $50 worth of merchandise for $25, plus I had a gift card to use.  I was also handed a coupon (while there) for 45% off of one regular priced item.  Score!  I left with items I actually needed too (all for either Jason or Brody).  As the cashier rang me up, she said I had $4 left on my gift card and she would just give it back to me in cash, then proceeded to tell me to get a cup of coffee.  And you know what I did….I did just that.   Starbucks, here I come.

Then as nap time rolled around, Brody was tired, so I put him down.  Then an hour later, he’s still chattering away in his crib.  *sigh*  That little stinker.  I decide to go in there to make sure he didn’t soil his diaper and there were no other distractions for him (like a cat sleeping in his changing table or something…happens quite often).  Upon entering the room, there are no distractions and he’s sitting in his crib.  I pick him up and he puts his head on my shoulder (I love this).  I decide to sit down in the rocking chair with him and he falls asleep on me instantly.  When does something like that ever happen?  I was in heaven, so sat and enjoyed it for a while before putting him back in his crib.

Today has been a day of smiles for me.  Pure relaxation.  And I just wanted to share it with someone.
