I don't do well when all of my time is auctioned off to the highest bidder. I don't like, in any way, shape or form, being strapped down to the minute by obligations and responsibilities. I would rather be at home than... well, pretty much any where else. I would rather have my children play in the dirt than be in training to be world famous musicians. I would rather sit quietly in a chair with a book than socialize with people. AND if I DO have to go places and do things MORE than I get to be home... I get - crabby (this statement is currently in top running for the prize of, "Understatement of the Year!"- any unauthorized use of this statement for private or public use without written permission is strictly prohibited...)
And so here I sit. At home. Quietly in a chair. For the FIRST time in a LONG time. My (almost 4 year old) baby is sleeping. Now all I need is my book...

May your solace be sublime and of adequate duration. When you finish your book, I recommend "The Good Theif" by Hannah Tinti. Put it where I will find it when you are done with it so I can finish it. Also, not missing those hollyhocks at all. Have a great day, etc. etc. and other stuff that is not bloggable.
That sounds perfectly heavenly.... You speak my language. P.s. Did you get my email about the bees??
I hear you Babe!!! I'm so glad that you have a few minutes of peace. Enjoy, relish and treasure it...and pray for more!

You sound like me. I don't think I will ever be able to get my kids into lots of lessons and sports and stuff, because I don't want to be one of those moms that is constantly running around. However, I don't want my kids to feel like they are left out of all the sports and stuff, like I did growing up. But we'll see. Sanity and the wallet will probably win in the end, but I keep thinking they can do one thing. Maybe. We'll see.
1. Bradley!...shocking!! :O
2. Awesome photography.
3. I definitely get the same when the scheduled time is MORE than the home time. I have to put a stop to it!
4. Your "crabby"
= "still HILARIoUS and fun to be around."
5. My "crabby" = "everyone runs far away."
6. Treasure your quiet moment. And dream of all the ones we'll be enjoying on that gorgeous beach getaway....someday...
