treat time :)

today is a day to be relished. for the first time in about 10 years i am alone. all of my children are in school. caleb started his 3day preschool this week. when kira started school, i was taking college classes…not that fun. when cam started school, i already had caleb. and next year when caleb starts kindergarten, i will have el bebe in tow. so these next 6 months will really be appreciated. and now-all is silent except for the tapping on the keyboard. what does one do with one self? there are a million things to do like clean the house, laundry, pay bills, etc– but that is so ordinary. so expected. like the kids are gone, i should be able to get lots done. yeah right. i just want to sit and soak in the silence. i did take care of things like go to the DMV- and as i was driving home, i was wondering what i should do. i passed our little coffee shops and saw other moms from our school socializing and having their lattes, and if i was feeling the least bit social, i would have stopped, but i’m not, so i didn’t. i thought about getting a pedicure. now that would have been a treat. maybe i will do that friday. 🙂 instead i stopped at our little candy shop, bought my favorite little treat and came home. to scrap. my favorite thing to get lost in. to be able to create things and cross things off my list. love that so much. laundry- do not love so much. so you see, the choice isn’t really that difficult. 🙂

don’t even hate the chocolate gummy bears until you’ve tried them. they are delightful. 🙂
