Life Lessons...

lately i've been saying to myself "i just want a day off", when do i get to just relax?"  lots of self pity and so on... and it's not because i'm doing everything. ever since the bubby store has started to pick up and i've gotten a few shifts with swank, riv has been doing so much around here: cleaning, dishes, cooking, laundry... he's become a regular mr. mom even though he works all day.  and then again this morning when i didn't want to get up at 6:30 and aiyden was running around making a mess of what was a clean house for a record 2 hours and while i was trying to get a few shirts partially done...it hit me.  i don't get a day off! and it's perfectly ok! how excellent is it that people are paying me to be creative and how blessed are we to have a child full of energy and exploring and learning every second!  i may not get a day off like i used to but i get moments now.  i get 10 minutes when aiyden sits calm and perfectly content in my lap, i get hugs and sloppy kisses, and i have a husband who sends me pictures of their activities through out the day while i'm at work. I have it pretty good and i wouldn't trade it for anything!

had to throw in a pic.  this was one morning outside the library before storytime...
