The Captain is asleep, Mr. Buttons is having a sleepover at his friends house and Hubby is out playing.
That means I sit by the fire, play silly games and send love to breastfeeding mamas on online support groups. I had Channel 4's 'Rich Kids Go Shopping' playing on the background, but got way too puzzled by the bling and strange spending habits. My happiness was quickly restored by the mute button and some Pearl Jam.
One of my dearest friends came back home after a trip to see her family. We met up for a coffee and she gave me a bag full of spices and tea she brought back. Then we went to the local Asian/African/Arabic food store and she had a look for some things they needed for dinner. I walked around entertaining the kids, finding new tastes and just enjoying the companionship.
Myself and Captain met the menfolk for lunch. I made a fantastic vegan chilli for dinner. Kids built a sofa cushion fort/slide/climbing frame and were happy. We got them to clean up before they headed off to the sleepover location, which didn't make them happy. I'm going to have some peace and quiet, with a side of noodles and yummy cardamom tea.
This to me is happiness. Nothing shiny, nothing expensive, but the simplest of things.
I hope your week started nicely too!
