Today was another hectic day. Why do we do this to ourselves? Instead of living life, we are being driven by it, eh? Or am I the only one who feels this way? From 8am until after 8 pm today I was carting little people around, making trips to and from school, pick ups, drop offs, school, appointments, Daisy Scouts, etc. Then finally a few moments to just be: a pedicure. I just wanted to be quiet and not hear complaints. I wanted to contemplate my crappy glass of wine and relax with my sister-in-law. Relax we did, but in the background this nagging feeling that I had forgotten something. Then it hit me. I had forgotten to savour the day. I was so busy doing and checking off things, that I did not savor.
Newly resolved, I tried to be in the moment, even when I had to crunch over a broken beer bottle in my thin flip flops whilst picking up a bit of curry from our neighborhood Indian watering hole. Finally, a warm meal, not prepared by me this week. One that I love: Peshwari naan and vegetable korma. Heavenly.
Oh, and the best laugh of the day? Caroline wanted to give her Papa a new hair-do. He innocently agreed and did not realize that she was weilding nail scissors. Now he has a new bald spot. Hopefully, the hair will grow before he returns to work after Easter. Thank God for vacations!!!
Caroline has been crying non-stop since the scissor incident. I convinced her to draw a sorry card for Papa. She did and included the cutest "mad face of Papa" drawing.
