I love Thursdays. I take Matthew to school as usual and then take Thomas to Mother's Day Out. He loves his teacher and always exclaims, "I get to see Miss Emiwy today!"
Most of my friends use these precious 5 hours to run errands. I almost always go home after the drop off. Although, I usually eat lunce with my friends, I am a bona fide homebody. I am perfectly content to spend all day and night at home. In fact, when I heard that Martha Stewart was leaving jail to be on house arrest, I thought that sounded pretty nice!
Being at home by myself allows me to clean it without little rascals bringing up the rear undoing everything I have done. It also allows me to enjoy the quiet. I rarely turn on the television or radio during this time. I will either read a book, do laundry, take a bath, or look at the computer. I also get to spend precious one on one time with Mary Elizabeth. Since she is such a laid back baby, she usually accompanies me taking care of the boys. During my MDO time, she has my undivided attention. I love it! I am always happy at the end of my day to pick up the boys. I always feel refreshed and ready for chaos.
Today, I am getting ready to head to Dallas for a dear friend's baby shower. Her mother and my mother are best friends, her husband and my husband have been best friends since the first grade, and we have been friends since high school! Bryon and I actually introduced her to her husband. Friendships such as these are very rare and cherished.
So I am busy getting all of my 3T boys clothes ready to take to Dallas to give to my friend whose little boy is exactly one year younger than Thomas and packing ME's diaper bag with most of the items in her nursery. It is so hard to pack a 6 month old!

Brandon and I joke that we'll have to rent a U-haul to pull behind the Expedition when this little one comes along. We're about 2 hours from our families so any trip home is almost always overnight. With just the two of us we fill the Ex up to the top ~ how in the world will I fit that, plus the baby and her stuff??!?!!
Have fun in the Big D. What a sweet relationship and connection!
We don't have any MDO programs here that are close-by!! Crazy. I think I still consider Zoe my little baby and we have our one on one!!
One on one time is important when you have 2 older ones! So glad you get it! Isn't MDO just wonderful? JB
Elizabeth,
How could I forget you??!!! I still have that picture of you at Camp Opportunity with the girl that gave you fits, then on the last day wouldn't leave you! Remember? It was great to hear from you! Let's keep in touch! Glad to hear that you're still walking with the Lord. Man, I feel old! We've been in Salt Lake for 13 years! Church is still growing! Jessica will be a freshman at OCC this fall! Now, do YOU feel old? You still look the same! Love, Randy
