Work has been extra extra busy, and I can't seem to get ahead. I wish it was happy busy. Like, "sorry I don't have anything to say because I am tanning in the Caribbean right now." But instead it is just life-busy. You know, the break a sweat until you lay in bed exhausted at the end of the day kind of busy.
Yet, in these life-busy moments, I have been thinking that I really need to concentrate on having those grateful moments amidst the hard work and chaos.
*The funny words and interactions that I have with my children.
*The really good baby potatoes fresh from our garden smothered in olive oil and parsley and sea salt.
*The anticipated book that arrived in the mail.
*The smell of chlorine and sweat and wet swimsuits in a pile on the floor.
I want to be grateful for these moments...the small snippets of time that turn a thought between getting the groceries out of the car and a pile of dirty dishes... Caribbean-like in itself.
So....
Pass the virgin Margarita, please.
PS. I'm pretty enamored with the last photo shoot on my photo blog... makes me happy and baby hungry every time I look.

I think it is funny that your MIL calls to ask about your lack of blogging. I don't think anyone in my family cares that much - Ha ha!!
I agree - It is good to remember to be grateful even when you are so dang busy!! I needed that reminder myself!
What a great post! Life is what it is...and it is at it's best when there are children involved. Thanks for the reminder!
