I'm looking forward to a semi-relaxing day today. But I'm prepared to be flexible if something comes up that's not on my agenda :)  The old me wouldn't have been so flexible but there's much less stress when my expectations aren't so high.
Sophia and I are spending the day together. All the big kids are already at school and our next scheduled event isn't until 9:30am so we've got an hour to relax. Sophia's watching Max & Ruby and I'm drinking coffee and blogging. Then we'll head to SDSU for PALS, which is part of the early headstart program. We'll play/participate there until 11:30am, have some lunch and then drive over to Camelot for Riley's first band concert at 12:30pm. After that, we're free for the afternoon. I see a nap in Sophia's future and some reading in mine!
Tonight, Riley is spending the night with a friend, Anthony is going to The Club and Steve will actually be home. So after gymnastics at 6pm, Brittney and I are going to do some Christmas shopping together. She's looking forward to it and so am I now that we received some gift cards to use.

Last night after all the little kids were in bed and Steve was still working at the Swiftel Center, Brittney ordered pizza and we settled on the couch downstairs and watched a few episodes of Criminal Minds together. She loves the show but she always fast-forwards the gory part at the begining. Interesting that my girly-girl won't watch the sappy Halmark or Lifetime movies with me but she does want to watch CM. Of course, she's also always trying to get me to watch the singing and dancing shows too!
