Hailey and Becca made Will a giant chocolate chip m&m cookie for Fathers Day.
Dear Children, this week has been a lot of hanging around the house and a couple trips to the pool. I've been waiting for you to clean up your mess so we can do something fun. I may be waiting forever. Dear Fathers Day, I did not feel good. I could have stayed in bed all day. Luckily all of the kids were on top of things and brought Will breakfast in bed and gave him gifts. It was funny seeing the ties they made in primary and the answers to the questions asked. How tall is your dad? Liam said "as big as a door" haha. I am so lucky to have been raised with the Father I had. I hope that my kids can also have that blessing. When asked how old ? Hazel said Ric is 51. Haha. Dear Liam, yesterday you hopped on your bike and started riding like a crazy man. We rode all over. Yay! Dear Laundry, I truly believe there can not be five minutes in the day that you are DONE. I am not joking. Not even a little. Dear House, I want it clean, uncluttered, organized, and surrounded by things that make it feel homey. I try to not let it eat away at me, but it does. A lot. It's important, but not the most important. Sometimes that is hard to put aside. Dear Body, I just want you to do what I say! And why are you not listening. A low white blood cell count is all that comes up so...get it together. Dear Track, I feel lucky to live one street away from a track. A dirt track. I love the sound of the dirt crunching under my feet. With a play ground right next to it. Perfect set up. Dear Dreams, I find it strange that some people don't dream. That would be nice sometimes. I dream even when I've slept for five minutes. I hate bad dreams, they are so silly when you are awake, but so terrifying and real in the dream. I must say you can't replace a dream where you are flying. Unless you are trying to get away from something scary. All of my kids dream. Dear Reading, the other day my mind was feeling so overwhelmed with too many things so after getting the kids in bed I actually opened a novel and sat next to my Mr. and read. It was nice. I can't remember the last time I got to just lay in bed and read. Well, read something that wasn't related to health and behavior. Dear Will, I wish I wasn't going to be out of town on your days off. I wish we got to spend more time together. I'll take what I can get though because I love being with you. Dear Self, do the things that matter and let go of the rest. I am not going to catch up any time soon. I don't want to spend the time I have the kids home feeling frustrated and behind with EVERYTHING. Make a good moment everyday. I wouldn't trade tucking my kids into bed at night for anything.
