Mother's Day Weekend 2012

There is very little time, as of late, to simply enjoy.  The Sun.  The Breeze.  The Sounds.  A Good Book. The Hugs.  The Love.  The Food.

I am actually getting a full day to do all those wonderful things I love, including blogging!  :D

Adam has been off at work, so has Sam.  Alex although down with a cold (after visiting the doctor this morning and having a culture done...it isn't Strep), has been peacefully painting murals in her bedroom all afternoon with paints from Nanny & Papa in Florida.  I am very sure that my mom meant them for the cute painting that came with them, but my children think outside the box (or paper as it was) and enjoy expressing! :D

I, on the other hand, have mowed the grass, done the laundry and washed the dishes.  Then laid in the sun with my Kindle, Traveled to Europe with our Create Channel, and surfed the internet for a while.  This is quite possibly my idea of Heaven on earth and most of it has to do with simply being home...to enjoy my home.  Does it get better than this?  I think not.  :p

I am off to enjoy what is left of the afternoon before the sun goes down and our evening takes off.  But the peacefulness of this day will stay with me for long after it is over.   Remember to take time for yourself, ya'll or you will have nothing to give to those around you.  Replenish your well!  (((HUGS)))
