Tuesdays of Legend

That is what I have decided to call my new work-from-home-Tuesdays. There are a couple reasons I went with this title. One, because I know sooner or later this dream that I am living every Tuesday will be ripped from my fingers, and years from now these days will only be legendary. Second, I think it sounds cool. There was no French toast this time, but so far, both Tuesdays that I have worked from home have been great.

I had Ada duty last night and she only woke up once at around 2:15 and was back to sleep before 2:30. This is good for two reasons: 1) it was quick and I was able to get back to sleep without a hitch 2) this wakeup call guaranteed my freedom tonight. (Our Ada duty goes like this, we alternate nights, whether she wakes up once or ten times, your night is your night. If Ada happens to sleep through the night on your night, then you just push your night back a night. This way we both get sleep at some point throughout the week.)

So, I woke up after a full night’s sleep on Ada duty feeling good. I worked solid for a couple hours and then decided I would watch/listen to the next Indiana Jones as I finished up my morning routine. Everything went smoothly and then it was lunchtime.

LB and I decided to work a way into the weekly budget to take advantage of different lunch specials every Tuesday. This will be good quality time for the family and a chance for Ada and her to get out of the house. Today was Chili’s. I think Chili’s is my favorite of all the chain restaurants, so I was pleased.

Lunch hour was over and it was time for the last half of the day. I finished everything up while watching/listening to Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy. I had forgotten how much that movie cracks me up, very quotable.

5:00 finally arrived and I closed the laptop and went to see my girls. For some reason, after the end of a workday while at home I have a ton more energy. After a little wrestling with Ada, I decided to go outside and get a little yard work done that I had been putting off. As I was finding the perfect spot for the sprinkler, an idea came to LB.

We suited Ada up and introduced her the sprinkler. Last week at the church pool day, Ada loved the water so we thought this would be perfect for her. At first, she was a bit timid. She was grasping onto LB with everything she had in her and burying her head into LB’s shoulders. As time went by she got braver and braver, eventually grabbing the sprinkler itself and slinging it around. While all of this was going, possibly the most Legendary event of the day happened, Ada stood on her own. Granted, it was for like 7seconds, but it’s a start. LB was sure to document the whole thing and should have pictures up on her blog soon. (Though I’m not sure if she got any of the free standing Ada, it all happened so fast.)

Mark another Legendary Tuesday down in the books. I know it may not sound like it, but I honestly think I get a lot more done while at home. I’m not sure how many more are still to come, especially if my boss finds this blog and sees that I’m watching movies as I work. I’m willing to chance it.
