I was exhausted this morning. Tired eyes, tired body, tired psyche. I considered taking a nap when I put Abel down for his, but I know darn well that’s not the most restful answer for me – at least not most days. So instead I…
Put dishes in the dishwasher. Tidied up my Facebook friends list. Took before pictures for a bathroom project.
Enjoyed a nice hot shower. Swept the floor. Hung laundry on the line.
Admired bits of the garden.
Took off my shoes, rolled up my pants, and walked around in the wet grass. Made dewy footprints on the back deck.
Worked on a gift for friends. Made plans to give Abel an abundance of snuggles when he woke up from his nap.
Took a deep breath and thanked God for the sunshine, my sweet boy’s smile, just one more week until hugs from my hubby, and intentions for a beautiful afternoon.
Ahhh, much better than waking up groggy, smelling of B.O., without a moment to myself before Abel sounds a little louder from the crib that he’s ready for out.
