Free Day

Early this morning while I was still in bed there goes life and it's curve balls. I received a phone call from the store manager I spoke with yesterday and he called to tell me that our changes work. I can't explain the joy I felt, what a relief; I definitely hit this ball out of the park. With that good note I decided to go into work at my Regional office.  Once I finished my work I decided to peruse Pinterest. My daughter is turning 2 next month and I am planning a Mickey Mouse theme party. I was able to download the invitations , and some decoration. The great part about all of this is that it was all for free. Today turned out to be one of those free days .Even though I packed my own lunch of spaghetti , wouldn't you know they had ordered food for a meeting and I was invited to join in for lunch. Oh boy, what a lunch, Churrasco steak with beans and rice and a chocolate chip brownie. Heaven I tell you. I really appreciated the free things today seeing as though I was not one of the lucky $425 million Powerball winner. Maybe next time, that is one Life curve ball I would like to receive. 

Today I got home from work to an empty house my Darling husband decided to take the kids swimming at the pool. The pool is located at a dear friends townhouse complex which she gave us the key to. We are able to go there whenever we chose. It is rare to have moments at home just by myself. I thought what should I do with this free time. Should I finish cleaning up my son's room which has turned out to be a huge task. My daughter insist that all of his clothes and toys should be on the floor . I started Monday to organize it , I want him to go back to school with a nice and neat room. Well as most cleanings happen it looks a lot messier now than when I started. It didn't help that my daughter on Tuesday literally was protesting the cleaning by undoing what I begun. Nope that didn't happen. Should I finally hang up the clothes that my husband washed 2 days ago. Yes my husband is the one who does the laundry. Now if I can only get him to put away the clothes instead of leaving them in baskets. But nope that didn't happen either. There was no need for me to cook dinner since I was able to bring back leftover from todays lunch. So todays free lunch also turned into tonight's free dinner. So what did I do with this free time , Nothing its free time and it was mine. I just sat on the couch and watched TV. No  Nick jr or Disney jr , just watched Pioneer woman, Trisha Yearwood and Sandwich king on the Food network channel. Peace and quite; of all the free things today this is one of my favorites. It only lasted about an hour but it was great. I was even inspired to make breakfast burritos this weekend.

Son's room this picture doesn't do it justice you should see the double closets what a mess! Don't worry my son does not actually sleep in his room. He has his own bed in my bedroom. Gasp,  I know working on changing that.
Loads of fresh clean laundry to put away , just sitting in baskets.
 

A Drummond Breakfast What I'm hoping to make this weekend.

But you know what  all in all todays life curve balls of relief and free where welcome with much joy.
