I’m blogging about my mornings this week because I want to be intentional and accountable about how I spend my time without kids. To see how I came to be with out kids and how I desire to spend my time click here.
This morning I did do more running around than in days previous. My mother-in-law, Peggy, had a procedure done this morning and needed a ride. I was glad that it landed on a week that I wasn’t babysitting so I could help out.
After I dropped off Peggy, I kidnapped my friend Jen who just had a baby 3 weeks ago and headed off for coffee at Starbucks in Old Orchard. I had a tall vanilla latte (my standard) and a buttery croissant. We had a really sweet time. It made me vaguely remember what the first couple weeks with a newborn is like – I’m not ready for that yet.
I picked Peggy up from her procedure and went to Strattons Cafe in Old Orchard for brunch. It’s seldom that Peggy and I get to hang out with out kids and by ourselves, so it was nice to spend some time with her. I had the French Toast, which I wouldn’t get again, it was so much and I needed something else to counteract all the bread. I did get the Island Oasis smoothie which I will get again – it was delicious.
So I guess today’s theme was food and good adult conversation. Does it get any better than that???
