I have no words of wisdom tonight. I have nothing witty and clever to say. I'm just content at the moment. Our basement floor is now purple (no seriously, it's on purpose and we didn't lose a bet), school is almost out for the girls, and our swim passes are burning in a hole in the swim bag that's packed and ready to go. Okay, the "packed and ready to go" part is not quite true. I do, however, know exactly which bag I'll use. Right now it's just empty and shoved in the corner of the closet.

I'm adjusting well to my new role of stay-at-home-mom. It's been relaxing and fun. My days mostly consist of being hard at work compiling a mental list of dozens of things I want to accomplish throughout the day but, so far, I rarely finish more than about two or three of them. I think I'm still in the honeymoon phase where I still haven't quite realized that this isn't just a few days off. Once I have wrapped my mind around the fact that this is my life right now, I'll make better use of my time.

I truly miss my co-workers. I loved going into work being able to count on the fact that, at least once throughout the day, I would laugh so hard that it almost hurt. On the other hand, whenever I am able to sit and listen to the chapter book Maria is writing and play restaurant with Ava (she only ever wants to be the server), I am so thankful I have this opportunity to spend so much time with them. It truly feels like I'm slowing down time a bit. I love it.

Just a little rambling for you. That's all for tonight.
