Rainy Days

Rainy days…gotta love them!  It’s 6 a.m. and this is my view..uuuhaaaaa! I love it! On my 2nd load of laundry and I am sitting on my front porch enjoying my 3rd cup of coffee…is that bad?  Who cares, I am alone….no one is calling out “Mom..Mom..Mom..What time is my hockey game?”, “Mom, did you pack my lunch for ballet?”, “Nini….did you tape the golf game”….”Mom, did you get a chance to wash my khakis?”. “Mom, I have a date…Can you spot me a 50 bill???????????” WTH??  But, this is my life, and I would not change it for anything!…..I would like to every once in while push a pause button and pretend I was all alone; but since that is not an option, every moment that I am alone, I cherish!  It’s what keeps me sane! We all need to take a break sometimes and push our pause buttons, its about forgetting about life for a moment and grabbing that little selfish part of our inner self (come on, I know its hard but you have one) and remembering a happy moment…mine is when I was 11 years old and after a very long day of riding bikes with my best friends…I returned home to find my siblings along with every kid in the neighborhood playing a game of Red Rover, Red Rover in my front yard…my friends and I (Leah, Lenny, Kenny, and Ricky) y’all know who you are..were so excited to be able to partake in such activities with my older siblings….if I could close my eyes and repeat any part of my childhood, this would be it.

We all have special memories, take a moment and remember yours! It’s worth it!….Enjoy your next rainy day!!
