Shhhh....

This morning it was thundering and poring rain outside when I got up and decided I wanted to CALL OUT. Shelli is out of town on business so it's just Zoe and I this week. I called Shelli and let her know my plan before emailing Zoe's teacher and my principal. It's not often I let Zoe stay home from school for no good reason. We've been blessed that she isn't one of those kids who 'fakes' being sick or doesn't want to go to school so it's never been a struggle getting her to go to school.

 

I let Zoe sleep in and then after I called us both out, I crawled into bed with her. As soon as I did that, Zoe knew something was up. Let's face it, when Shelli isn't here things are nothing short of crazy in the mornings on a normal day trying to get out of the house so Zoe didn't know what to think but she was going along with it. I told her I called her out and we were going to spend the day together. She was so excited! We called the dogs up on the bed and just laid there for another hour dozing in and out.

When we finally rolled out of bed, Zoe's request was breakfast and a movie. Easy enough! I grabbed some coffee and she got a cinnamon/raisin bagel and cream cheese (her favorite!) and we rented a movie at Redbox. We ended up with Dolphin Tale 2. We got all cozy on the couch, made popcorn, and watched the movie which was one of the sweetest movies I've ever seen. After the movie, we actually took a little nap. I don't think the day could have been any more perfect. We had the best time just hanging out together.
