Though today feels like a curl-up-on-the-couch-with-THIS-good-book-and-toasty-blanket day, I need to do a long-run-for-marathon-training/finish-up-my-4th-grader’s-science-lesson/hit-the-library with-two-crazy-toddlers/get-dinner-going-by-5 sort of hectic fly through life day. I’m praying that my long run does entice me to complete it with promises of an off day tomorrow. Oh, life! I envy all you singles or newly-marrieds-with-no-kiddos people out there right about now! And, how I took for granted a comfy couch and nice book in my childless years! Never again!

(Yet, when he proclaims, “Mommy! A pirate!” after spotting a rather unique homeless individual on the street…then, “but where’s his parrot?” in deathly serious tone….I do sideline my ‘whys’ of motherhood for a few moments!)

AHHHH.

My your days be filled with peace (or at least the anticipation of its coming!)
