Randy walks Mitchell to his bus stop every morning at 6:50 and then waits again with Ryan and Mitchell at 7:20 for their bus. Where am I usually? In my bed sleeping under warm flannel sheets. Do I feel guilty about this..NOPE. I battle the homework, meltdowns and dinner every night and do the bed time routines..all is fair. This morning however Randy had to be at work at 5:45 and as I mentioned before it is snowing!
I could grouch about getting out of my warm cocoon...but I looked at it this morning as a simple pleasure. Walked and talked to Mitchell about his day. Bundled the other kiddos up and also got spend a few calm moments with them.
The house is quiet. I put coffee on and made a quick cinnamon bread which is making the whole house smell warm. I am still in my jammies and I have on my favorite cardigan sweater. I have nothing ahead of me other than a warm breakfast, a lap full of yarn and the rest of The Vampire Diaries. Guilty pleasures indeed.
Sending you WARM sunny thoughts
I too have been trying to savor the small gifts everyday, thinking that "I get" to do things rather than "have to", gives such a positive perspective on the not so pleasant aspects of my day!
ReplyDeleteI could probably still say I Get to in a sarcastic way but I hear ya! It will take practice to turn this somewhat cynical gal around:) Blogging actually helps that..because who wants to read a bunch of negativity!
