When a Saturday is a Good Day
With my complete amazement I woke up early this morning in a good/normal mood. My kids snuggled in bed next to me, my son on my right and my daughter on my left. I quietly snuck out of bed to go make my coffee and relish in the moment that I was not tire, miserable and just able to want to get out of bed.
My daughter woke up and went straight for the electronics while she laid in bed for the next two hours (I know, I know, bad mom with the electronics) which was great that she was self entertaining while her 3 year old brother continued to sleep. Fed the cats, got a load of laundry going, and finished my coffee by the time he got up.
Not being a fan of clothes and straight out of bed my son asked "can I go jump on the trampoline" while wearing only his underpants ninja turtle headband, arm sleeves and nun chucks. How could you say no to that? We went outside, and he ran and ran around the trampoline singing "Ninja Turtles, Ninja Power" while swinging his nun chucks around (best Dollar Tree buy ever by the way). Eventually he discovered that his underpants made a great nun chuck holder and shoved them down the side, continued to run around in circles eventually whipping out the chucks and swinging them in the air.
I don't think I have laughed that loud in months. I am truly blessed to have been given such wonderful kids. I am truly thankful that I was in a mood to enjoy, and to laugh.
To those of you who are having a down day, take it in stride, and start over tomorrow. It's not easy to have the ups and downs, but I'm guessing much like me when you do have a good day - It's a pretty big miracle.
