So I really should be doing homework right now but I've been going all day and don't feel like starting a paper quite yet! So I figured that I would write a little here just to avoid homework and just rethink the day. Mondays are nice. Yes, that is a complete sentence for me because I always have Monday off. So the day started off by sleeping in which was cut short as I got a pillow thrown at me. This is not unusual at our house. Most mornings whoever wakes up first, they get the joy of annoying the other two people enough so that we all are up shortly. I must admit that I love to wake up and start the day like this even if I was the one who got clocked with the pillow this morning because the kids show no remorse to me like I do to them. Nothing starts the day better than the laughter and the begging to "please stop tickling or I'm going to pee". Start your day with a smile at least, this has become the motto in the Maier household. Next up is breakfast which leads to discussion about what we are going to do for the day. My kids actually like staying home so I granted them that wish because I had many things to do at home. Most days I'll have four or five different things going on at once, not because I have ADD or anything but that is just how I do it, multitasking seems to work best for me. So I got the house cleaned up, dishes done, laundry going and started putting together the bench I've been wanting to build for the back patio. The problem with the bench though is that my saw that I needed to finish up the legs of the bench was at my sister's house in Seneca. So I got the kids downstairs and ready for a short road trip. The weather is great today so we had the windows rolled down, sunroof open and we were on our way. All three of us had carried over our goofy mood from this morning and it was about to get even more goofy. Madison got to choose the first song for us to listen to, so I started going through all the K artists on my player to find Katy Perry because I know her so well. Sure enough, she picked the song Firework. So as we pull up to the stoplight with that song blaring, I could tell we were already being looked at. Not a big deal because we are use to it and it actually makes us laugh, sing, and act even crazier. Next was Kobe's song, Real Gone from the movie Cars. Now Kobe has joined in on the madness of singing, and it is always fun to look back and see that Kobe has fully joined the party. My turn next, so I picked the song Blue Skies by Uncle Kracker which fit the day so perfect, just driving down the road with no need to rush, no where really to be. Days like this are the moments where you stop and look at life, and you put everything in check. The breeze blowing, the joy of having fun doing absolutely nothing.....these are the days where you sit back and realize that your life is almost so perfect, and that great things are coming in the summer months ahead. Life is all about what you make it, the people you share it with, and the ability to take life's simple pleasures and realize that they may be small or simple but they are the important things. Life is good, and of course there are a couple things that would really make life better but they will come in time and then everything will be perfect. I already have so much to be thankful for but that doesn't stop me from wanting to have everything I want. It is such an amazing trip to be on and to even be in this state compared to where I was last year at this time shows me that I have grown as a person, that I have come to realize what things in life truly matter, and that the best is yet to come. We all go through our trials, our hard times where we hit the bottom. We are being tested to see if we are ready for great things. It is because of the tests that I've gone through that I know that I am ready. I know that I have used my time wisely and that I have bettered myself. It is an exciting time. I think that this is why I love this time of year. Spring is all about finding ourselves and renewing who we are and using what we've learned to blossom into the person we really want to become. When you feel that way, it spreads to everyone around you and you have reached your potential, you've become the person you are meant to be.
