My inspiration for this record of my days:

“The biggest mistake I made [as a parent] is the one that most of us make. . . . I did not live in the moment enough. This is particularly clear now that the moment is gone, captured only in photographs. There is one picture of [my three children] sitting in the grass on a quilt in the shadow of the swing set on a summer day, ages six, four, and one. And I wish I could remember what we ate, and what we talked about, and how they sounded, and how they looked when they slept that night. I wish I had not been in such a hurry to get on to the next thing: dinner, bath, book, bed. I wish I had treasured the doing a little more and the getting it done a little less” -Anna Quindlen

Cozy

This morning, after the kids were gone to school, I bribed Rebecca to watch Jonah and Simon for an hour.

I climbed back into my cozy bed.   Ooooo…. what a great feeling! Sliding into the cool sheets, surrounded by pillows, with the vent blowing freezing air onto me.  I felt like I was in the lap of luxury.

But first we did a little of this:

It turned out to be pretty uneventful.  Yesterday we happened to time things just right, but not today. 

No rush.
