I had this idea for these posts this morning as I find I do a lot of my posting is later in the week and maybe MAYBE if I have a regular Friday post I will not feel behind all week. SO I'm going to try it for a little bit and see if I can get back into the habit of blogging. It's going to be a hodge podge of things I think.
The reason I choose Forgetful Friday as the title is because I keep forgetting to do my Thankful Thursdays on Thursday and almost always remember Friday morning. Since the idea has been in my head though I've had several other ideas come to me. Things I want to forget. Things I need to forget. Things I never want to forget. Things I can do to remember.. like actually blogging :)
Today's post is going to be things I want to remember.
The smell of a newborn. The feel of a new baby in your arms.
The wonderful feeling of relief when you push that last time and feel the baby slide out into the world.
The way my girls hair smells after a shower.
The crinkly eye squint J3 does, that I can never catch on camera, when he's thinking he's pretty darn cute.
The way I can feel all my troubles leave me when Papa and I cuddle :)
The way E and G both snore the minute they fall asleep.
The way L concentrates over a book or picture. Forehead lined in concentration.
The wonderful alive feeling of a warm wind in the spring.
G hugging so tight when she's not quite awake or comfortable.
The last few miles before home on a long trip.
The way J laughs when something strikes him as super funny.
The satisfaction of a job done right.
The delight on a child's face when they understand something new.
Papa's quick giggle when I manage to tickle him. Unrestrained and unguarded.
The shock and wonder of that very first positive pregnancy test.
Some strangers face as they count kids in the truck and their face LIGHTS UP with a huge smile.
The way R makes friends with a smile and a giggle.
What's your list? This is only a touch of mine. Find a way to remember the good things. It's worth it.
