Lifes Simple Pleasures

my life is so hectic and fast paced at the moment. I swear from the moment I get up in the morning I am GO GO GO! Its non-stop, and when I get home from work I say good bye to my coworkers and head off to my 2nd job (mommy) at home and its still just non stop until I lay down in bed at night.

I always really try to make sure to stop and enjoy lifes little pleasures and think of some things as fun little moments rather than a "chore"

for example, when I am changing Audreys daiper, I really do take pleasure in it (when its just pee) because it forces me to stop running around the house like a crazed hyeina and have some one on one time with Audrey talking to her and tickling her belly.

When I am reading books to brynn before bed, sometimes I feel the urge to rush through it so i can put her to bed and take off my "mommy" name tag for the night and just relax. But I try to rememeber that these are the moments I will look back on fondly and long for when my girls are older and want nothing to do with me.

But then there are those simple pleasures I only get in a blue moon that are just heaven to me. One I am doing right now. I LOVE to wake up on a weekend morning, before anyone else is awake. So the whole downstairs is clean and quite and motionless. I make my coffee, I sit on the couch under a blanket and watch the news in peace. I dont have a toddler whining for Elmo I dont have my boob out to nurse, I dont have my husband doing whatever he does that grinds my gears so early in the morning. Its just me, and my coffee. Heaven.
