I haven't driven since February 10 due to a medical condition. Many days I have felt trapped in my own house. There have been days I not only didn't go anywhere ... I didn't step outside.
Today was not one of those days, although it easily could have been.
My husband left for Maine today. Our oldest is graduating from high school on Sunday — long story as to why I'm not going, too — so I'm at home with the other kiddos for 48 hours and no wheels. Did we sit around the house all day?
Nope.
2:00 p.m.: My ex gave my boys and me a ride to our older son's baseball game. (South Forsyth beat their arch rivals, Lambert High. Sandy pitched the first three innings, and his friend since age 4 pitched the last three. I love that!)
4:45 p.m.: After Joshua's discipleship group leader picked him up to head to a sleepover, Jordan and I hit the neighborhood pool.
5:30 p.m.: While at the pool, other friends joined us, and invited us to go out with them to dinner.
8:00 p.m.: After dinner, we walked to a new neighbor's house and delivered cookies that Jordan had made for them. Jordan stopped off at another friend's house to play for a while on the way back.
9:00 p.m. Finally, we each grabbed some ice cream and settled in for a Mommy/Buddy movie night.
10:30 p.m.: Jordan just crashed. I will not be far behind him. But first, I had to marvel at how this day of my Summer@Home was very much not a day at home. Thanks to wonderful friends, we ran ourselves ragged today.
I don't know how much more of this resting at home I can take!
