My Day Off


I officially have the greatest husband in the world. Let me explain... Lately I have been feeling a little bit run down. Having a four month old while moving and trying to fix up a new house while simultaneously trying to build up my piano clientele had really been starting to take its toll. Don't get me wrong - I know that I am incredibly blessed to have a new home and a wonderful baby, but I haven't been dealing with the stress very well. I guess Chris was able to recognize this (...it must have been making me hard to live with...) so he decided to give me a day off. Friday night Chris told me to wake him up when Chase started to cry, and he would be on "daddy duty" for the night. I was able to get a good night's rest for the first time in a while. Then he also let me sleep in until 7:30 am on Saturday morning! I probably would have slept longer but Chase hit himself in the face with a rattle and started screaming which woke me up :) Chris then explained that I was to have the entire day to myself! He had arranged for each of our families to take Chase for the day, and instead of working on one of many tasks yet to be completed around the house, I was supposed to relax and chill. I got to spend the entire day soaking in the tub, reading my book, watching movies, eating chocolate, and I even got to take a nap! It was fantastic! It was such a great day - and it ended perfectly when we picked Chase up and I got to see him smile. I am so incredibly blessed to have such a wonderful husband who understands that every once in a while I need to have a day all to myself.
