I wish everyday could be like yesterday. Well, kinda.

Yesterday, I stayed home from work for the third day in a row. We've all got strep throat. We all except for Henry. For some reason Henry has been lucky enough to escape the strep. Maybe it's because he's had his own problems this week.

So even though I felt like crap, I still wish everyday could be like yesterday. Yesterday, Stephen got up at 6:30, fed and the dressed the boys, and then drove them to school and headed off to his office hours. I arose to an empty (read quiet) house at 7:30 - that's sleeping in for me - and had the entire day in front of me. Or at least the next five hours.

I drank coffee in my pajamas for nearly two hours. I blogged in pajamas while drinking coffee for nearly two hours. I took a bath. I put a pot roast in the crock pot. I made the banana muffins I had been intending to bake since Sunday. I even put chocolate chips in the batter! And even more exciting, they actually turned out!



After my five hours were up, all the boys returned home. We ate lunch and then I played in the snow with Henry and Wyatt while Stephen napped. 'Cause, remember? He's sick, too. We tried to build a snowman but the snow didn't really stick. So the boys just decided to destroy it - big surprise.



Afterward, Stephen made us hot chocolate. And the boys gobbled down some of those tasty banana chocolate chip muffins.



All that playing wore me and my throat out, so the boys and I watched The Witches  while Stephen graded papers. Then I read a book while the boys ran off to play with a neighborhood friend until dinner.

And for dinner we ate my pot roast! Have I ever mentioned that I love meat? I especially love a big chunk of pot roast when I am sick. In fact, I was so excited to eat up that pot roast that I forgot to take any pictures before we served our plates.



So anyway, I wish everyday could be like yesterday. I wish I could wake up late, bake, and play with my kids after school. I wish I could work from home - in my pajamas - and determine the course of my own day. Can anyone make that happen for me? Seriously. I am seriously asking - can you hook me up?
