I Could Write a Book

I have had one of the most marvelous mornings I can remember since school started I think. I woke up with a tiny, warm body snuggled next to mine. The first words out of his mouth were "mommy, I love you." I don’t think there is a more perfect way to start your day than by hearing one of your children tell you that they love you.

The children were all pleasant today. They seemed excited to go to school and things were very relaxed. I’m sitting here wondering if it was because my stress level was so low this morning. I’m sure that has something to do with it. Also, we are all excited that it is the weekend again. Jumping up and down for joy on that one. School wears me out. Lol. I’m not even in school but I feel like I’m learning 3rd grade all over again.

I made myself breakfast this morning. I can not remember the last time I did that. What did I make ? Coffee that could replace the oil in my car, easily. Would someone please explain to me what happens to all the water that I put in the coffee pot to begin with ? I put 8 cups of water and it ended up being maybe 6 1/2. What the heck ? It was still drinkable. I just had to add a lot of cream to it. Yum. Yum. I warmed myself up a couple of biscquits. And I cooked some bacon. Can you just imagine what my kitchen smelled like this morning ? Picture walking into your grandma’s house on a early morning when she just finished cooking. Pure heaven. At least it is that way if you live in the South.

I poured my coffee into my best "girl" coffee cup.  It has a hand-painted pic of a Southern girl on it. Big hair, big makeup, etc. Cute, cute, cute. I put my biscquits and bacon on my pink plate with the big red heart in the middle. I was all set. I walked outside in my pjs and big fuzzy slippers and I set down on my deck, listening to the birds (and dogs whining) and ate one of the best breakfast in history. Why don’t I do this more often ? Is it because I’ve made myself "too busy" ? Self-inflicted a friend of mine likes to tell me when I start complaining about how busy I am. Anyways, I have just enjoyed one of the most peaceful mornings I can remember in forever. As the saying goes "stop and take time to smell the roses" or coffee and bacon in my case.

Enjoy your morning, happy weekend and Geaux Tigers. I’m taking my mother to her first ever college football game tomorrow. Should be interesting  - in more ways than one.
