this afternoon

"Spend the afternoon - you can't take it with you"
Annie Dillard

it's 82 degrees outside. absolutely gorgeous.

this house is consuming me.
everywhere i look - lists to be checked off, piles to be dealt with.
i went to target this morning to get 2 things (which i NEVER do - i normally need to have at least 5 things on my list to justify a trip out) but i needed out of my house. it's going to eat me up!

anyways, i'm choosing to ignore all that and play with my kids this afternoon.
they got an ice cream sandwich for a snack (instead of the normal granola bar or pretzels)
hopefully it will involve going on a walk.
maybe some bubbles or chalk.
definitely some laughter.

and we're gearing up for the Cowboys game tonight (hence the shirts on the kids...)

LOVE that quote at the top, I almost didn't see it. So glad I did! Good for you choosing wisely this afternoon. That is difficult to do. I applaud you.

So it ended up being perfect - you FOUND THE BLANKET, the Cowboys won, ice cream for snack - that sounds perfect to me! :)
