Many of the things I love begin with the words fresh or new....newborn, fresh sheets, freshly bathed children, freshly baked bread, new roses, and a new beginning. Thursday, September 1, Connor, Jameson, Reese, and I made a huge pallet of blankets in the living room floor and watched movies in our (once again) new house.
There is something unique and surreal about that house that brings peace and tranquility to my soul and to my children as well. Maybe it is because it is quiet (well, the neighborhood is) or maybe it is because there is plenty of room to spread out and allow the children's imaginations to run wild OR maybe it is because I can sit in my favorite chair (the first piece of new furniture my grandmother and grandfather ever bought) on the screened-in back porch with a glass of red wine and a book in nothing but my panties and a cami! Awwwww....the serenity of freedom!!!!
We are still adjusting to our routines, but once we master that concept, it will be nothing but gravy!!!! The boys are truly enjoying Early, and it makes my heart fill with pride....Longhorn pride! The only thing that would make everything perfect would be if Peyton and Brooklyn joined the herd, but I am carefree with their choice as long as they are happy.
Seems to be that everyone is extremely happy at the house....even Sophie and Artemis. Sophie is our German Shepherd (big) puppy who had to fight parvo to stay alive a few months ago, and she races back in forth in that backyard like nobody's business!!! Artemis is a tiny kitten who loves to hunt bugs and sneak around, and she has gone from a scrawny kitty to a roly poly in no time! Her Garfield belly basically drags the floor...
I have a plaque on my nightstand that says, "Life is Good." And you know what, Life IS Good!
CARPE DIEM!!!!
