The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, the coffee is hot and the day is blissfully devoid of any responsibilites. While the girls were still sleeping, I took Pippi for a walk, made my coffee, showered and dressed. I wandered down to the kitchen to start the day, and soon after they came running downstairs and gave me big warm fresh from bed hugs. I made them breakfast. I am now flitting around the kitchen, wearing an apron and my purple latex gloves, scrubbing and cleaning and organizing. I made a pretty fruit basket, and then staged my wine rack, aerator and some wine glasses as if to say "Welcome! Come in! Enjoy some wine and fruit!"
I feel as if I have traveled back in time to the 50's. The husband is out at work, the children are playing, the wife is cleaning and planning dinner. One of the girls favorites, and well within my skill level: tacos!
What fun. It feels like playacting because it sort of is. Usually my house is somewhat disorganized, I'm frantic with 20 things to do, and I am not at all excited about cooking. Today, I am playing house!
