15 Minutes to a New Me

Still really enjoying these posts over at Owlhaven. Mary said she would be posting them, and each time I click over, it is such a joy.

And I certainly need a little joy right now.

Yes, we're sick. Whatever. Everyone else in the world is too!

I'm cold. Don't laugh. We have thin skins, we Southerners. A high of 50 is cold. Yes ma'am.

And so, I need to shape up over here.

After 15 minutes, I think I have...

1. Survive a 45 minute tantrum compliments of Little Love without losing my cool. Read two stories to her (two times each) after her "sorry Mama" and precious hug.

2. Teach my 10 year old how to make pasta and bean soup. Enjoy a bowl with him.

Things are calmer. I am warmer. The sickies are not acting as sick.

Life, of course, is always good. I needed the reminder.
