10 Things Tuesday

1. My son is still sleeping at 8:23 a.m. so I can spend time blogging.

2. My "free" day to run errands, catch up on stuff like thank-yous, groceries.

3. My sister-in-law B and her friendship.

4. Seeing my family on Mother's day and the time we shared over lunch in MKE.

5. Zumba class!

6. My husband's business, and although the economy is awful, he has managed it well and hasn't had to let anyone go.

7. My In-laws: they are now home from FL and relieve some stress for my hubby.

8. My friend Jenni and our conversation last night via phone. I miss her!

9. Hot showers & strong coffee.

10. Spring! Flowers are blooming, the grass is green and sun is shining! Plus, it's still not too hot.

One Minute Writer: Belief

When I was a child, I remember believing that when I "grew up" I wanted to be a Babysitter. The were always fun to play with, and I enjoyed the youthful leadership my parents hired to watch me so they could enjoy a night out on the town.
For years in high school and college I laughed about this "dream job" of my childhood. Until now, when I realize, I actually have grown up to be a Babysitter. Granted, motherhood is much more than glorified babysitting;however, I can actually say my childhood dreams have come true!

"Not Me" Monday

Yesterday was a not an extremely busy day -- which is why I am not writing my "Not-Me" Monday entry on Tuesday. Since a friend is 31 weeks preggo, and has a little 19 month old playmate that T adores, I got to watch her all day yesterday so she could do the bed-rest thing without a toddler running around her in circles.
The two of them were so exhausted after playing outside all morning, they napped for 4 hours! I was not a little ecstatic that I had all that time to myself, and so I did not lay on the couch for half of it wishing I had access to my computer. Because T's friend was in a pack 'n' play in our computer room, I did not spend that time on the couch watching the DVD of "Scrubs" my hubby bought me for Mother's Day. Not Me!
