Wonderful Wednesday

We had a fun day!

We started the day out with a trip to the park with some homeschool friends we made through the co-op that we joined (and then we broke off and made our own group). This was very enjoyable. It is nice to be with like minded women and just have great conversation while the kids play. S fell off the play structure. He leaned forward to shimmy down the fireman pole and fell about 4 feet. He didn't cry - just said it hurt his head. I would think so buddy :- ) Then we had to get S's haircut and I had to take some jammys back to Gymboree. I forgot my credit card for the return so that part of the trip was wasted. S's haircut turned out nice and then a yummy lunch at a pizza place next door where the kids eat free on Wednesdays. Free is always good!

We got home later than I anticipated so it was a rush to lay down for naps. Everyone napped great today - all 3 kids and mommy! I got the house vacuumed and the dishes put away while the kids finished napping. I am finding that as time becomes more precious, I have to take advantage of every free moment to do chores so it doesn't cut into my time with the kids.

Daddy Piper got home late from work so we had a late dinner. It was yummy steak, corn on the cob, beans, roasted potatoes and strawberries.

As I type this I feel contented with life. That is most unusual for me. I have always found myself wanting more, wishing for something else, coveting what my neighbor has. I am trying to work on that. I have everything a woman should ever want or hope for - a loving husband, wonderful children, great friends, my health, a roof over my head, plenty of food to eat, clothes to wear and the ability to stay home and mother my children and make a home for my husband - all the necessities and more. Lucky me - lucky me - lucky me!!!
