A day

I had put a lot of thought into today...what would I love to do?  

Put Pax in the stroller and walk and walk, stop at some point drink some water eat something healthy and walk and walk.  

I think the hint of crisp, of cool, in the air has me hungry for fall, for outdoors, for energy and exercise.

But instead, home beacons, to do's I don't do because I would rather play chess or go over 3's, sit and drink coffee with John.  I "waste" moments not accomplishing what I "should", a clean house, laundry, ironing, dishes, weeds to do what I MUST, mother, be present, be slow and not impatient, watch and not run.  These moments are fleeting, I don't want to miss one eye contact, joke or conversation.

So today during naps I..

And during awakes I

Today was a good day!
