There weren't any fancy vacations this week. There weren't any earth shattering moments. Nor, were there any noteworthy moments. It was just the simple things - the basics that kept me going.
An established routine.
A husband who was home.
Three kids who slept through the night.
Going to the gym/running outside.
Having lunch with my sister-in-law.
Adam teaching Owen the rules of football.
The arguing and bickering between the kids.
Piles of laundry to do.
Bathrooms to clean.
Homework to be done.
You know, the basics. For that I am grateful. Life gets crazy enough with all of the ups, downs and in-betweens. So, when the simple things - the basics come along, I love it and find myself wishing it happened more and more.
'Tis not so for this coming week. I hope I have the stamina to survive the craziness ahead of me all the while wishing/wanting/longing for the simple things - the basics.
