Sometimes I have two kids that are in school for the majority of the day.
So sometimes I get up, get showered and ready, with good intentions of getting lots accomplished during the day.
Some mornings I turn the heater on in my (non insulated- cold) house even though it is warm outside and I know that the house will "naturally" warm up eventually just because I don't want to have to put a sweater on.
Sometimes I end up spending lots of time on the computer looking at old pictures instead of starting the laundry.
Sometimes I know that the floors need to be cleaned but I realize that I need to cherish all the time I have left with my "baby" because he will soon be all grown up... so we go to lunch instead, just the two of us.
Sometimes my kids play together nicely for a while without any fighting, yelling or crying.
Sometimes we eat dinner at 3:45 in the afternoon just because we are all starving.
And sometimes we go out to eat because I don't want to have to wash anymore dishes or clean up any more messes.
Sometimes a spontaneous Thrifty ice cream just hits the spot.
Sometimes the kids go to bed early.
Sometimes the hubby plays softball AND basketball both in one night and I end up with the evening to my self.
Sometimes my house is quiet.
Sometimes I take a nice long hot shower (where I do all my best thinking) until the warm water runs out.
Sometimes the dishes that were in the sink in the morning are still there at night.
And sometimes... just sometimes... I just don't care.
Sometimes I set the Tivo to tape my shows and just go to sleep instead.
Sometimes, not a whole lot gets accomplished like I had originally planned.
But you know what...
Sometimes you just have to have a "sometimes" kinda day.

you just convinced me to go out for dinner tonight, i dont want anymore messes to clean up. thanks!
I love this. I especially love the part about taking advantage of the time with your baby. We have done nothing in particular today (other than Lincoln going to school for a few hours) and I haven't been worried about getting out of the house... which is what I normally do. I hung a few things around the house, wrestled with the kids, played with play dough, and focused a little more on the kids rather than my usual daily duties. I am amazed at how smoothly the day has gone. It's nice to kind of kick back and just enjoy rather than go, go, go. I'm so glad that you sometimes do all of those things. Maybe I'm inspired to go out for dinner now, too! :)
I too love this post---and the cute kid pics!
ok- that was me--melissa not biddles and scootch!
Sometimes you definitely make all the right choices!!! Sounds like a GREAT day.
so the talk we had last night about the 'baby stage'....you're telling me that 'someday' I'll miss it and 'sometimes' I need to cherish it. I'll try...maybe on the next one! :)
You're a smart mommy Autumn. Cherish all the little moments because it really does go by sooo fast!! (But then grandbabies come along that we get to spoil)
