This day,
the day I was running on very little sleep due to last nights 'outing', was precious.
I was tired.
Like, the 'I feel ill' kind of tired, because I'm old.
I knew I would be and so there were absolutely no plans, no expectations and I was ON GUARD of my own behavior toward those around me, namely my babies.
It was one of the best days we've had together in a long time.
No one thing.
It was just precious.
Moments cuddling on the couch with me 1/2 asleep,
swimming for hours at the pool,
singing sweet songs together,
baths,
kisses, hugs and fun conversations.
I don't know, it was just a simple sweet day.
I do know this mommy has been working hard to be very in control of herself and not trying to control everyone else around her, namely her babies, and she's been doing it for a few days so everyone is catching on and liking it and treating others likewise, which is making for some peaceful hearts.
(LONG way to go but already, in three days, I'm seeing changes in my heart and theirs....it freaky great!)

LOVE the sweet spirit i can hear through your words!
I am buying that book! Read thru the excerpts on amazon today! Can't wait to finish "bringing up boys" and start that one!!
ok, so you totally give me some hope that I can take all 4 of mine to the pool all by myself...kinda really scared of how that will actually go.
Sounds like a great book...I should order it soon...thanks for sharing!
