Sunday morning...

So yesterday I was cleaning out the book shelf... this is a difficult thing for me... books are like memories for me... I tend to collect the ones I like and even keep the ones I don't. Needless to say, I did find some to list on e-bay. I have no idea why the computer will not let me spell that word correctly. It makes me laugh that I don't even have control over a computer. Anyway, I digress. The books. As I was going through them I found so many of the stories I loved and read again and again. I gave some to Rob as required reading and pledged to myself that when the time comes I will pass them on to my kiddos. I also pledged to re-read some of them again. Just because I loved them. I still love them.

The other thing I found on the shelf were empty journals. Some were dedications and some are just blank and so I decided that I would make more effort on this page to journal... and here I am. Big or little, profound or whatever is the opposite of profound... here it is... My Sunday morning.

Slept in. That's 8:30 people! Awoke to the sounds of the little ones laughing and calling for me. Started the coffee... made pancakes... blueberry AND chocolate chip, just for fun. Then, for me, since I've been thinking about it for a while, fried egg sandwiches. The best panini bread ever... with Phil's Farm Fresh eggs, fresh ground salt and pepper, and that cheap American cheese. Love it. Eggs over easy still runny yolks, and James Brown... I'm in love with Pandora... I just say, I'd like to hear a little of this... and then it takes over. The kids ate, Rob and I ate, we cleaned a little, and worked a little... going to watch Megamind this afternoon... pretty much everything I love about family and Sundays.

All the problems of reality are still there waiting. But taking a break... laughing with the kids and Rob... groovin to James Brown... it's a great day. I think I even saw the sun for a little while this morning.

So inspired by the dedication in one of the journals about the simple things, that I want to try to keep this blog more regularly. Even if it's filled with simple things. It's a reminder that the only way to see the profound aspects of life is to enjoy the simplicity just as much. So there it is... a simple blog entry on a simple Sunday. Yep. As the Godfather of Soul puts it... "I feel good!"
