Today we returned home from an out of town wedding. Fun, long day. Dinner ran late, wine kept pouring. The air conditioner in our room was not working when we rolled in at 11 p.m. and we were upgraded to a suite half the size of my first floor. Unfortuately, we were only able to enjoy it in our dreams as we slept on top of the most divine mattress. Even though the bed was ideal for a perfect night sleep, I still woke up exhausted and feeling that last glass of wine.
We arrived to three squealing kids knocking us over with hugs.
Soon the two big kids were away with Dad at the pool and the little one asleep in a nap. It has now been a 2 1/2 hour nap, the longest nap in her history of napping.
I should be scrubbing a floor, folding laundry, unpacking, planning all of the girl scout meetings for our next year, cleaning carpets or a million other things on my running to do list or anything other than just sitting.
But that's what I'm doing. I am just sitting....well with the t.v. on.
I'm too proud to admit that quiet is good for any human.
I have too much self imposed Mom guilt to let the laundry hang out in its basket, but for the first time in seven years I have zero, ziltch, absolutely no guilt about just sitting.
Ah. Nice. Where are those bon bons?
