THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM

I sit here by the light of my computer screen drinking my coffee (pumpkin spice in a Keurig cup soooooooooo excited when I found this!) and COUGHING my face off.  I thought I was on the mend.  Thought I was getting better and then BAM......start feeling poo poo la chu again last night. 

Even though I'm coughing I'm enjoying every sip and every click on the keyboard.  Why?  Because this is one of my favorite times of the day.  THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM.  The time when my home is quiet.  It's still dark outside and it's still fairly dark inside.  The children are nestled in their beds while visions of sugar plums dance in their heads......oh wait....that's a fairytale....but that is what this time of the morning feels like to me!  It's ME time....  Now all my children are in school (or work) so I'm not sure why when they are off to school it doesn't feel this way, never thought about it.  I think it's because my coffee is so good and I don't feel guilty for sitting down and not "starting my day" (ie getting my work groove going)... ha ha.... AND they look like perfect Angels sleeping.

The calm before the storm.  Funny how that term can fit so many times in our lives.  It actually fits our weather right now too.  I've heard it is supposed to start raining again tomorrow and the next day.  Hunk has been hunting in Idaho and he was in the middle of a snow storm when I spoke with him......by the way, he isn't having any luck yet.  Not making his day.  He is having fun visiting and relaxing though.

Do your Hunk's hunt?  Do they journey off to other states in hopes of bringing home a freezer full of food for your family? (I'm sure this is the main reason, not because it's so much fun and the freezer full of meat is just a perk)...  If I could just find a PERK like that for going to a Spa for a week with daily massages with a group of friends, now that is my kind of fun.  I guess the perk to that would be MY MOOD when I came home....

Great now I'm craving a massage....... just so you know I'll be dreaming about it all day....or picking up the phone and scheduling one.... I still have a gift card.......oh ya baby....... Momma needs a 90 minute massage.

And a pedicure....

Just like a kid, give me an inch.......and I want the whole inch-ilada...  or I take a mile.....OR how about eating an enchilada while I walk a mile..  ok drive....

The thunder has rolled and the lightening will strike any moment......goodbye calm, hello storm. 

Goodbye (for now) e-friends...... 

Good Morning b-e-a-utiful Rugrats!

Someone please pour me another cup of coffee.....

Ciao Bellas~
