Super Tuesday is the best day of my month. Because our pastor loves us and wants to take care of the staff that routinely work weekends and more than a little bit of overtime. So, the last Tuesday of every month, we get a bonus day off. It's spectacular because I can sleep in, bake, read, make Hubs a great dinner and still have time for a nap or some guilty pleasure TV.
It's lovely.
Today I woke up and my clock read 8:43 am.
8:43 am has never looked that good.
Today, I enjoyed my two cups of coffee as I watched a rainstorm rage. I tried out a new sugar cookie recipe that claimed to taste like Eat N' Park Smiley Cookies. I went to Target to print out some of our wedding pictures (finally). I made homemade calzones for dinner. I watched a couple (maybe 4) episodes of Bones on Netflix. I got a couple of errands done, too.
I know that someday I won't be able to sleep in and take the time out of an afternoon to watch TV. Someday, I'll be waking up early to feed our kids breakfast. Someday, a hot cup of coffee will be a rare treat. Someday, a long hot shower is going to be perhaps even rarer. So today, I treasure the simple gifts in life that I won't always have. These will be replaced by even more precious gifts - of the laughter of children, family dinners with spilled milk, sleepless nights cleaning up puke and endless loads of laundry.
Someday. But for now, I'll enjoy my coffee.
Sigh, I love to read what you have to write. Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteso did they taste like eat n' park?
ReplyDeleteThey were a little bland. I think too much flour. But I'm trying again this weekend, so I'll let you know! If they turn out better, I'll post the recipe.
