Normal Day.

I had many plans that fell to the wayside today. Errands and organizing and maybe a nice long walk to the park.

M awoke with a headache and a slight fever. She stayed home and slept and watched a movie and just rested up. Her headache and fever is gone now, she's back to her smiley, bubbly self and I, well I, got nothing done today.

I am not kidding when I tell you our days are outlined fairly well.

We never stay home all day. We run, we play, we shop, we visit friends and family, we play outside but we never stay home all day.

So today we had a seemingly normal empty day.

Though H didn't want to comply at first, he never got dressed today. This is my boy who from the day he was born eats breakfast, gets dressed and is typically ready to leave the house with me first thing.

Not getting dressed for him is a big deal.

And if I'm honest, the only reason I showered and dressed at, ahem 3pm, was because I am meeting a friend for coffee tonight.

We tried Fun Dip. Have you ever shown a child the fun of Fun Dip? Such a simple little candy but the excitement over this made his day quite bright.

I admit that I wasn't thrilled that my to-do list sat untouched for most of the day.

I am a go-er and a do-er and like things just so.

But there will always be time to get things done and there won't always be time to hang out in our pajamas and eat Fun Dip.

Normal day, let me be aware of the treasure you are. Let me not pass you by in quest of some rare and perfect tomorrow. Let me hold you while I may, for it may not always be so. -Mary Jean Iron
