An Ode to Tuesday..

I am not talking about the actual day of the week, or maybe I am but mostly this post is focused on paying homage to my Auntie Tuesday. Aunt Kim (aka Tuesday) has come to my house in Sacramento every Tuesday since the day we moved to Sacramento. We had our last Tuesday a couple of weeks ago. It was one of the hardest days leading up to this move. She has been such a huge support to me and the kids. The amount of love and attention she has given us all on our special day and beyond is incredible.  If I tried to explain what she did for us I would not do it justice. Just know that everyone needs a "Tuesday." My kids love her like a grandparent and wait for Tuesdays with such excitement.
Today is Tuesday...it's our first Tuesday without her. Below is an email I wrote her this morning so she knew how we are thinking of her today because I know she is just as sad. It will give you a little glimps into what we used to do.


Tuesday, 

Today is really hard for me. I am trying to forget how much I love Tuesdays...but I can't. I am imagining what it would be like if you were going to come over today. I would probably cook a great dinner in our new kitchen and we would sit in the kids rooms and decide how we would decorate each....especially Emma's (we always have so much fun with her room). Then I would move us to decorating our living room and dinning room because I am honestly lost with those two. You would give me a ton of ideas and I would immediately put those to work on Wednesday. Instead, I am sitting in my big 'ol house with blank walls and zero inspiration to decorate. Today I am sad but I know that we will visit each other soon.

Sometimes moving is hard. Today it's hard on me. Tomorrow will be better.
