By Sunday, when I woke up, fatigue, like a shadow, followed me. Nevertheless, I kept moving on, taking the kids to their swim lessons. And yes, to make it complicated, they each are in separate classes for being in 3 different levels. Despite the spells of tiredness, it was a joy to watch them swim, smile, laugh and learn. I love watching them jump into the pool, kick their little legs and move their arms with each stroke, float and paddle through the water with grace and effort. It is through being their for them, being with them in these moments, that makes being a mother, truly wonderful.
Afterwards, we visited my parents and ate my mom's yummy, home cooked noodle dishes and desserts. I chatted and caught up on how things are. I love my mom. It's a pleasure to just to see her and visit my family. The kids love it too as it's their only visit once per week play date with their cousins. By 3 pm, a bit winded, and having errands to complete before the work week begins, we left. Fatigue wearing me down, I quickly just picked up only a few grocery items and drove on home.
But, as tired as I was, I just couldn't resist hanging out with the kids, in our back yard, watching them play, ride their bikes, swing on the swing set, blow bubbles, pick flowers and slurp sweet ice cream on a cone. With the beautiful, warm weather, this was a perfect day to hang out at home, being lazy in my PJs, to soak some rest and relaxation. Now, all I need is to get some lounging pool chairs so that I truly can just literally lounge instead of sit. I love these quiet, lazy days; being together as a family. To make the day even more enjoyable, my hubby grilled steaks, links and apple sausages for dinner. Yummy. What a magical day.
I'm glad I didn't waste the day, whimpering and sleeping all day, curled bed. Not to say resting is bad, but I am just grateful that I was able to rest and be apart of my kids day. Lots of Love
