Wow---I haven't captured a DITL since last spring! I really need to caputre these days. It's amazing how much has changed since last spring. I love going back and reading how life was!
Okay, onto the good stuff. I documented two-partial days---that way I could catch a glimpse of our weekend and a work day! Okay...let's be honest...I was procrastinating and completely forgot about this, until yesterday. So here is a quick look at our Day in the Life- Winter 2016!
Sunday, January 24th
Brad and I slept in until about 8:30. This weekend we attended the Minnesota Farm Bureau Leadership Conference in the Twin Cities. We had an excellent time learning and networking with old and new friends. By 9:30, we were showered, packed, and ready to head home. We stopped at McDonalds for a quick breakfast because Brad was complaining his stomach hurt and he figured food would help. By 10 AM, we were at Sam's Club to pick up a few items. We found our 55 pound bag of dog food, large jars of salsa, and a big box of strawberries and were on our way home.
Well, by the time we got to the car, Brad told me that I should drive. Poor guy didn't feel well. Turns out, it was a good thing, because he proceeded to vomit. Luckily, I have a ton of plastic bags in my car! So, good news, no mess; bad news, yuck...it's puke! Poor guy... I felt so bad for him. So much for that $4.59 breakfast.
We finally made it back home a little before noon. Grandma and Grandpa watched Owen and our dog at our house while we were gone for the weekend. I am so thankful for grandparents who are so involved in our little man's life! Grandma and Grandpa decided to take Owen to church on Sunday while we were still out. They pulled into the driveway just minutes after us. I got the report from the weekend, and they mentioned that he was one of the best behaved little kids in church--they didn't even have to take him out. Definitely a proud mom moment!
Anyways, after we got settled back home, it was time for lunch around 12:30. By this time, Brad was out of commission. I banished him to the basement family room to hopefully prevent his illness from spreading. Since his stomach was clearly not happy, he didn't join us for lunch. Owen and I had leftover spaghetti--messy, but so delish!
After lunch, Owen and I spent an hour playing with a few of his tractors and farm toys. He is a little farmer at heart! However, he needs to improve his sharing skill. He gets a little upset if you touch his favorite tractor (International 966 with manure spreader loaded with 3 cows, 1 bull, 1 baby calf, 1 sheep, and 1 dog).

Takes farming very seriously! |

By 6:30, it's supper time. I bring Owen into the kitchen. Tonight, Owen and I had popcorn shrimp, mixed veggies, and pears. O loves the pears and veggies. He's not impressed with the popcorn shrimp! Oh well. We finish supper a bit before 7. Owen notices the playdoh sitting on the counter---looks like it's Playdoh time! I set him up on the counter and call Mom and Dad via FaceTime since little man is occupied. He plays and talks with Mama and Poppa. I also figured out that the paper towel holder makes and excellent iPad holder...feel free to thank me later!

Monday, January 25th
3:34 AM--Brad woke me up and told me this stomach bug isn't gone yet. He puked once again.
I wake up around 7:15. I know my alarm went off earlier, but I ignored it. By 7:30, I'm kicking my butt in gear and am in the shower. I'm finished getting ready for the day by 8:00. Owen is still sleeping. I start to wake him up around 8:10--he clearly didn't want to wake up. I know, buddy, mornings aren't my thing either. Finally, he's up. We have yogurt because we are out of eggs. Looks like I need to go grocery shopping later today. Finally, by 8:40, we are out the door and at Grandma's for Daycare.
Just let me sleep, Ma! |
A MN Morning |
Good Morning, Sunshine! |
Today, I spent my work day as an office day. The weather is a bit crummy and I don't have any appointments lined up today. Oh well, I have a deadline to critique a new app for our salespeople and customers. All of our suggestions need to be in by the end of the week, so I figure this is the perfect time to get this project done. Brad wakes up around 9:30 (SUPER unusual for a dairy farmer!) and is still ill. He spends the rest of the day lazing around in bed.
By 4:45, I pick up Owen. We head to the grocery store to pick up eggs and milk. He's a good little shopper!
