Me Time


Last night I decided that I needed some "me" time. I knew this because I had started getting irritated by everything Atrion did. Like jumping on me while I was trying to take a nap and wanting to press buttons on the iPad and being whiny and two years old. So I said to Cody, "Hey, I need some me time" and he said "Okay" because he's complicated like that.
So I put Atrion down for his afternoon nap (and he actually slept) and I went to Starbucks. They have these comfy chairs set up next to the windows. It was drizzly outside and warm inside and smelled like coffee. I got an Izze and a bagel and set up camp. I was going to work on homework, but I couldn't get the connection to work on my laptop so I played around on pinterest and boggle on my iPad. I also enjoyed people watching. There are some interesting folks that frequent Starbucks.
I then made my way over to the theater and watch "The Vow". It was good. Not great. But still good. It made me think about life and what would happen if I woke up one day and forgot the last 5 years. That would include:
~Having Atrion
~Getting married
~moving to Mississippi
~Buying a car
~Getting into real estate investing
~all my property management experience
~Associate and Bachelors degree
Ca-razy.
Not to mention all the wonderful in-between moments that make me who I am. It's a sign of a good movie when you start thinking about all that and more.
After the movie, I picked up some italian from Carrabba's and ran home to my wonderful boys. I read three books to Atrion, said our prayers, and kissed him bunches.
