do first things first

Hoping to get more done over at the new place today – it’s just hard when riding herd on small people as well. The sun is coming out, we’re full of coffee, scribbling things to do and buy. We need to get moving so we can make the best use of the day…

Woke with a wicked headache that seems to be fading now, which is a good thing. The rain also seems to be backing off. Time is spinning out of control and we have so much to do! Dad’s coming to take Iris out while M and I hit the hardware store again and try to make some headway at the new place, then there’s sitting for babies and catching up on last night’s non-existent sleep. We’ll all do what we can. Maybe we’ll discover hidden treasure in the crawlspace?

The long weekend was timely, our friends wedding yesterday was lovely – ideal weather and lots of fun. Now moisture has returned, but I’m not minding the rain so much today. It’s light and bright.

We all slept in a bit this morning (oops) but M. has time off, so we picked up morning speed and he dropped Isak off in the nick of time. Bracing for the busy. We have various errands to run today, so the coffee is on and we’ll aim to hit the ground running. Momentum feels good.

We had a busy but inspiring weekend and are glad it’s a holiday and we can skip work/school. It’s a beautiful, bright spring day – we’re busy tidying up the family to head out to the wedding of some longtime friends. Uncertain how long we’ll be out, so we’ll try to finish what we can later in the day. To love! And friends! And friends in love! (clink!)

It’s FRIDAY! We don’t have a lot planned for today, which makes it a good day to relax and celebrate and start making new plans for the month ahead. The more we plan things out and break them down the smoother things are going to go. It’s going to be crazy, but as long as we can schedule sanity breaks, we should get through it all okay.
