oh what a day

i’m having one of those days that makes up for all the horrible other days–last week, last month, the month before that…

i was just pondering this as i lounged on the couch in my living room casually reading a book. it’s about 70 degrees outside, and even though i need to be close while the kiddies are sleeping, the front door is wide open letting in the sounds from the street (stop HONKING already, my kid is trying to SLEEP!!), from the playground where kids are playing basketball after school (shut up already!! don’t you know my kid is trying to sleep right up there, RIGHT UP THERE!?!), thankfully not from the dog in the neighbors’ backyard. it’s a day of long perfect napping both for oren (who is probably coming down with some horrible illness) and seb (who has come down with said horrible illness). a day of cleaning windows, of strolling around the waterworks and shopping at old navy, of having a peaceful lunch with seb and IMing brian for a while before i have to type, “gotta go, oren’s crying.” oren and i took a turn around the backyard, looking at the daffodills and lillies, hostas and the clematis all peeking out of the ground. we sat on the front step in the sunshine watching the cars go by. now there’s time for me to just sit and bask in it for a bit…

cause i know tomorrow isn’t going to be like this!
