just slow down....

Today was busy, but unexpectedly so. But then again, it seems that every day is busy in the same way. I wake up, don't really have a lot of things that I HAVE to do, but I have things that I want to get done. So I spend my morning getting Luca and I ready to get these things done, then we go out to do these things, get one done, Luca's hungry etc., I'm tired, it's getting late, dinner needs to be started...you get the point...and I haven't really marked anything off my to do list...basically these are my typical days...until yesterday.

On my way home from my parents house (again, running around all day) Luca was screaming in the back seat, starving and most likely marinating in a dirty diaper. I was still 20min from home. It was a beautiful day and we passed the Zionsville park on the way home. Kids playing everywhere...it just looked like fun. So, Luca and I decided to stop racing around. Stop racing home so I could feed him on the couch and change his diaper in the nursery. We turned around and did all those things at the park. He touched grass for the first time, and we lounged in the shade of the sun and just enjoyed the day. We enjoyed having NOTHING to do. And that's the truth..for the most part I have nothing to do, and I need to embrace that a little more often=)








p.s. the only thing that would have made this day better is if dad was with us!

You nailed it...that's totally the key to keeping your insanity. You can't run as many errands as quickly as you'd like. You have to take it slow and that's the way it is! It certainly makes you appreciate how much you used to rush and how unnecessary it sometimes is....I wish you lived here so our kids could play...and so you could be my official child photographer!
