On Tuesday morning, I was screaming to the universe HOW CAN IT ONLY BE TUESDAY?!?  NO, REALLY.  THROW ME A FRICKIN’ BONE, UNIVERSE.    & thankfully, that passed & now it’s Thursday night, my leg muscles are that fabulous aching exhaustion that comes from a good run, & I have a hot cup of tea to sip.

1.  Did I mention that it is Thursday?  Which means tomorrow is Friday.  Which means that in 24 hours, I’ll be over three hours into a long weekend with my boys.

2.  A long weekend of zero plans other than some sewing projects, long walks, & napping.

3.  Tomatoes.  These were pulled fresh from the garden tonight & are delicious.

4.  Tonight.  Tonight, I lapped up every moment playing with my son.  When I clapped because he knocked over blocks, I meant it with my whole heart.  I giggled when he splashed me up to my elbows in the bath.  I felt fulfilled.  & while Nate worked out in the yard, I put our son to bed by myself, which is honestly a HUGE step for me.  MASSIVE.  & while I rocked Harrison & sang “Baby Mine,” I figured that I am finally understanding what every mother is supposed to feel about motherhood.

A short list tonight, but a worthy one.  Best to you as we wind down the week.
