Close to perfect

July 6th, 2008

One of the consistent wishes of my mama days has been for the world to stop for just one day and let me off to rest. Alas, the world rarely does that for me.

But this weekend was as close to perfect as I have had in a long time. Friday did feel like the world stopped and our little house and family was enjoying the standstill. Mike got dressed to go outside to get the papers, but the rest of us stayed in our jammies all day long. We watched “What Not to Wear” and “Dirty Jobs,” both in marathons.

And we were lazy and happy.

The rest of the weekend saw a little more activity, but not much. Mike and I are watching last season’s “Burn Notice” trying to get caught up for when this season starts on Thursday. I made some jewelry, and we all played some Shrek monopoly. It really was quite lovely.
