Beautiful Day

September 16, 2007

It was a beautiful day here in the South…or at least where I live.  The sun was shining and the temperature was a crisp 75 degrees.  I love this kind of weather…..I have been re-inspired  and revitalized…..

Little boy and I went out to my mom’s today since husband had gone to participate in some Bike ride event.  I didn’t know how long he’d be since he claimed he wanted to do the 52 mile course but you never know with those things.  We had a good visit with my mom and little boy didn’t want to leave since we were outside mostly enjoying the beautiful day. My mom has a big yard and pasture for little boy to enjoy…only thing is you never know when you’ll encounter a fire ant hill which he nearly did by a fraction.  I was trying to round him up so we could come home but he decided he wanted to run out to the dog pen again to see the dogs and ran right towards a hill.  My brother screamed “There’s a fire ant hill!” as I ran towards little boy who of course speeds up laughing as hard as he can because he thinks it’s funny that I’m chasing him.  I swear I watched his little blue crocs run past that fire ant hill missing it by literally a fraction.  I scooped him up and he had a fit because he loves being out side.

I’m actually feeling pretty good today.  The weather helped of course make my mood very good.  When little boy and I get home don’t ask me what got into me but I wanted to mow the back yard. I think mainly because little boy needs a place to play outside at home on such a beautiful day.  So I get out there and I mow then I start chopping limbs and hauling them etc.  I’m not able to mow the entire back yard but it’s a start.  I realize it’s getting late and go in and tell husband lets all get showered and go out to eat.  I wanted my husband to pick since tomorrow is his birthday. Unfortunately, it’s been all about me this week and I didn’t think ahead enough to secure a baby-sitter so I could really take him out but alas I did let him pick the place and I paid.

He and little boy’s day ended early.  Little boy played so hard that he fell asleep on our way home from dinner.  Husband tried to stay up and watch the movie “300″ with me but he did actually do the 52 miles and he was very tired so about 9pm is when he fell asleep.  But all and all it was a very nice day.
