I love Sunday mornings!
Sleeping in, drinking coffee and eating some sort of sweet fattening cake or donuts (insert you favorite snack that when you look at it you automatically gain ten pounds!)
Flipping through the Sunday ads and than curling up with a great novel and a warm snugly blanket, yeap I love Sundays!
It wasn't always like that; I remember when I was little I thought Sundays were boring! There was never anything to do, no stores were open and none of my friends were allowed to play. We had to get up early and go to Sunday school and church and home to endear hours of football, or Star Trek and Wild Wild West! I remember falling asleep because I was soo bored and than when I woke up thinking "this show (Wild Wild West) is still on?"
Later Sundays consisted of working and the next day was Monday, I had to get up and go to school!!! And after school it was get up and go to work!
As life went on and I had kids I would have to get up with them, and suffer another week of spit up, poopy diapers and crying babies!
Now my kids let me sleep in a bit, even when hubby has to work on Sundays! And Mondays are usually school days now! (Except tomorrow, my kids have off because of in-service day, whatever that means!)
Now I am excited to start the week. It seems like one day blurs into the next and weeks fly by and before we know it the year is over and it's a start of a new decade!
My kids are no longer babies, my oldest will be 10 in November! 10! I can't believe it! Neither can she; she's so excited to be entering double digits. (Huh? I know!)
Days, Weeks, Months, and Years are long to my children.
When did they just start to blur together for me? Was it when I graduated school? Got Married? Had babies? When the children started school?
Who knows!
All I know is that it truly does go by so quickly.
Today IS a present and we should cherish it while we have it because tomorrow comes quicker and quicker and before we know it we will be thinking "Where did the year go?" as we buy our loved ones Christmas presents and plan for the holidays. (And the infamous Santa shop!)
Ahhh.....
I'm not exactly sure when it changed from "I HATE Sundays!" to "I LOVE Sundays!" but it did!
And today I am going to love Sunday with my 5, 7(almost), and 9 year old before it passes and they are 13, 14, and 16 years old and want to go to their friends house, the mall or cruising around in the car. (Gulp! that is a scary thought!) Or just be anywhere that I am not!
Happy Sunday friends, I hope you enjoy your present as much as I plan on enjoying it!!!
