Enjoying my life today

I like days like today; with a cool breeze coming in through the open windows, fall candle making the whole house smell wonderful, dinner already cooking away in the crockpot, laundry going and kids that are all enjoying the day as well and just hanging out. It seems like we don't get many of these days anymore, with Abigail in Kindergarten every afternoon and Mitchell in preschool 2 days a week and then our time at the YMCA almost every morning for Mommy to get her exercise in for the day, it seems like we are always on the go. I know that it will only get more chaotic from here, with 3 kids that are all going to be getting into different activities and sports, but I am going to enjoy the days like today for as long as I have them. It's days like this that really refuel me and make me appreciate my life as a SAHM. I know there is a stigmatism out there that SAHMs just sit around all day watching soaps & eating bonbons, but that could not be farther from the truth! Most of my days are hectic between getting us all to different places for whatever reason and then keeping up a house and making sure that I get to spend some QT with the kids. There are very few days like this one where we don't really have anything on our agenda (although Abigail does still have to go to school!) and we can just be in our little cocoon of home and enjoy being with each other. And although there are still things that I have to get done around the house, they don't seem quite so pressing when I know I have the day ahead of me to accomplish them and even if they don't get done, there is always tomorrow! Right now, I am going to make sure I relish every minute of the life I have today and the chance I have at being home with my kids and make sure I do my best to make the most of it!
