Today was a good day in Age 36

Yes, this is a line from Ice Cube’s song, but you know what? Its true. I just finished 3, 12 hour shifts and I have only 1 day off, and then back for 2 more. It sucks. My scheduling is a story for another time, but today was nice.

I got to read a really good fanfic on AO3. I was able to help my husband complete a project. I then took my kids to the park with a splash pad and they had so much fun. I laid under a tree just watching them and taking videos. Then I came home, napped for an hour, and then got up and made a dinner and cookies with the kids.

I really liked it. I loved having this type of day. My husband is also not so stressed. I love summer husband. He’s a teacher, so the summer is when he is less stressed. I dread the start of the school year, because he gets so tense. I put my daughter to bed, massaged her head, and said a little prayer. My son is watching youtube videos for another 2 minutes and then he’ll brush his teeth and sleep.

I don’t have a huge house, I am living paycheck to paycheck, and I am in debt....but I am so lucky. Overwhelmingly so.

Today was a good day.
