Great Day

today was my first GREAT day. I thoroughly enjoyed it! I woke up in the mornign and made myself the most delicous pooridge and then toast and bread for the family. They think eating pooridge is weird but i dont mind. I love it! I have rasberries and blueberries in it so it has such good flavor. The rasberries break up into little bits and make the whole pooridge taste delicous and then bites with blueberries are such a treat. After breakfast it was off to daycare for the children:) I love the job of dropping them off and thinking to myself... "man am i happy i have a day free"

chris and carolina had a doctors appointment for the baby in Leiden so I went with them and then just explored the city. I didn't go back with them but spent the day walking around, looking at a crazy church and town hall... and of course SHOPPING.

I made such great purchases. jeans for only 15 euros. such a great deal because it was a very expensive store with such amazing deals. I also got two shirts from there. then i went to this new department store... which i will visit again soon... and it had like everything 70 % off. I bought a really cute jean jumper type dress along with some beautifull floral tights and a lovley leather shoulder bag! I was so happy with my purchases. I also went out for lunch and a coffee shop called beans and bagels where i had an avocado and tomato bagel and an expresso (I really dont like expresso i realized a little too late though)

when i got home it was chill time for a few hours till I had to pick up the kids... But carolina was feeling better so she took on the task of picking up the children while i made dinner (thursdays are my night) it was exciting to cook something that i know i like and tastes like regular home food) and it felt good to be busy with somethign other than looking after kids. I like to do the "home" tasks like cleaning, cooking , laundry, etc rather than looking after the kids so any chance i get to do "work" i take!

after dinner I decided again against running or biking. I just dont feel like it! I figured i walked enough today so thats good enough but really truly i should be running! because i need to be in shape in september for backpacking.

anyways that all for today. i might not post much this weekend but be excited for some fabulous stories after my weekend away to the east! I can't wait. I leave tomorrow to visit Linda (saras dutch friend from YWAM) and Roelof (a guy who is going to sweden with me for YWAM) It is exciting to get out of the house and be stretched by meeting new people. I am thinking there might be just a few akward silences over the weekend.
