Monday is Dennis’ day off. It is also the day we have “set apart” for our date. Sometimes we could have the whole day to ourselves, while there are times we would have to spend the day with the girls and go on a date at night. This is really why i look forward to Mondays every week– I can’t wait to spend quality time with the love of my life.

Yesterday, however, we had to stay home since Mika is down with terrible cough and cold and is pretty clingy. She is now like a baby koala stuck to me, or could look like a joey if I had used my sling. Oh, we did get to go out for two hours, though. Dennis really wanted to take me somewhere we both loved and so he did while the kids were taking a nap. The rest of the day was pretty much very…typical, as one would put it, given that all we did was just stay at home, play, eat, and watch a Disney movie (note to self: Aladdin is a pretty scary cartoon…and I mean pretty scary not just for kids!!). On a side note there, I am proud to say I still know the songs and some lines of the movie even though it’s been eons since I’ve last seen it.

As I was saying, yep– yesterday’s family day was somewhat ordinary. Ordinary yet fun… I noticed that Dennis and I kept laughing at ourselves and each other’s jokes throughout the day yesterday. I like how we got to just laugh and laugh without thinking of chores or work. I love how I could still laugh with my best friend, and of course, not just on Mondays. I pray we’d never lose that– even after two more kids in the future.

PS: I think it’s about time we change the meaning of “manic Mondays” by the way.
