There is no sarcasm in this post. There is no humor. (Perhaps you never thought there was in any of the other ones though, in case, this will be no different.) While reading this you may imagine the following:
a house filled with the aroma of a dinner enjoyed... the early evening where the sky is a dusky grey as the sun's rays are long below the horizon and the shade of night is appearing...the orange glow of a fire ending...snoring dogs, sleeping baby, and the hum of the dryer.
Ahhhhhhhhhh....This time, that is not a scream or yell I am typing. It is the serenity of a breathy sigh, lamenting over the end to a perfect fall weekend at home. After an early family grocery shopping trip (I LOVE when we all go together, it makes actually makes it fun) on Saturday, then a crisp walk around town for a street fair, and even a relaxing nap the first part of the weekend was delightful. Sunday has proved to be just as marvelous because it was completely uneventful. We left the house for moments to take a morning walk in the coldest morning yet. It felt delightful to be cold, and then to come in to our cozy house. I finished taking out all of the girls' winter clothes and putting away most (not all, down here you have to leave out a few teaser articles of shorts/t-shirts) of the summer clothes. Every time I do this, its always a little heartbreaking. Not only are my babies growing up, but I just miss some of those clothes, pathetic I realize.
But now, it is just about time to go shower. Three of us are going to enjoy a small bowl of chocolate ice cream, and will be off to bed early to be ready to welcome another week. I can only hope that all of you have had even half as pleasant weekend as I have, if not more. And with that, I will leave you with the world's most popular emoticon that perfectly sums it all up.
:)
