Thoughts from...Right Now

My Random Thoughts of the Moment:

1) I strongly dislike being woken up in the middle of the night...unless it is by my sister-in-law who has come to visit! Then being woken up is encouraged.

2) Fall is back!! If you've read early posts on this blog, you know I was a huge fan of Fall.
                    I still am. 
The cool breezes, crisp air, warm lights in the house, candles burning, the scent of pumpkins and leaves and the changing season, crunchy leaves, autumn colors...I could go on for awhile. I think it's wonderful.

3) It is only 10:17 in the morning and I have already had to deal with throw-up, several dirty diapers, being bitten and two screaming children.  Welcome to the world of motherhood?
                 
4) It is only 10:17 in the morning and I have already gotten to see cute baby smiles, to hear a child giggling, to see a child trying to stand on her own, to hold two sweet baby girls, to have a child "rawr" at me oh-so-adorably. I like being a nanny. 

5) It is amazing how changing your perspective on something can totally change your attitude, your day, your outlook on life...

6) Psalm 37 was really good today: Trust in the Lord, delight in the Lord, commit your way to the Lord. This is what is "required" of me.

7) I like apples. I'll eat apples. (I especially like apples with caramel.) But I have come to realize that I like the idea of eating apples far more than I actually enjoy eating them.
               Applesauce, however...now that's a whole different story. I could eat that at every meal. 

8) Toys that sing and talk should have been banned long ago. Whoever thought those up clearly never had children.

9) Nap-times provides a wonderful 30 minutes of peace and just enough time for blogging, cup of hot cider in hand...

10) A waking child indicates the end of such a time and a return to "reality"...

Until later...
