It is like I have hit the pause button on my roller coaster world and have slowed down just enough so that I can appreciate all that my life is made up of. Like taking a deep breath or finally getting that much needed sleep that your body is craving, I feel better all of a sudden... more like myself.
My mom called me yesterday and asked if I was bored yet. Heck no, I am just getting started. My days have been filled with some really, great stuff...
- Long, eye-gazing conversations with this little one. Apparently, she has a lot that she has been wanting to tell me.
- Reading! I have finished 2 books this week. And that does not even count all the books that I read to Little B. I feel so literary right now.
- Playdates. There is this whole underground sub-culture of moms that I never even knew existed. Little B's social calendar is all of a sudden completely booked up. I guess she was just waiting on a driver this whole time. For me, I am getting to meet some really great women and reconnect with friends that I have been missing.
- Whipping up yummy goodness in the kitchen. It is crazy how much cooking calms me. Like an ongoing conversation with an old friend, I can jump back in after a long hiatus without missing a beat. And of course, the little shadow wants to help too.
- Listening to the radio... in the middle of the day. This may seem small to everyone else. But to me, it is the audio equivalent of skipping school.
- Lots of snuggling because it is just plain good for the soul.
Sure, we still have some of the mundane things that need to get done. But for this week, we think the laundry can wait, the grocery store run can be done another day, and the grass will be mowed later. Because we have better stuff to do. There is fun to be had. And we are drinking it up.
