Day362 & 361

Time. It's an elusive friend of mine. Seems when I'm waiting for something time is all I have. But once I stop waiting, time flees from me and hides within the shadows of my day. Yesterday time was successful at elduing me as I didn't have time to blog. Jayk was at work, so it was just Lil Man and I. One would think with a husband at work and a child at school, I would have had much time to reflect on what was my 362nd day. This was not the case. Luckily, since I got the job, what little bit of our Christmas savings was spared and I got to go shopping for Lil Man. It's great having only one child not only because then you only have to buy one child presents, but because if raised correctly, that only child doesn't become a spoiled brat. Thankfully, I have an awesome boy. I got everything on his list for $100. How cool is that!? Now grandma and grandpa "Santa" are getting his one big ticket item this year. (Notice, there's only one?) So he will be set. There's nothing like seeing my little boy's huge blue eyes light up when he opens a present. He is truly grateful for the things he has and has taken care of his toys. So day 362 came and went in a blur, ending with my son and I cuddling on the couch watching Charlie Brown's Christmas Special...and time sat quietly in the corner snickering at us.

Day 361
Woke up with another god forsaken sinus headache. Mucinex-D and an Excedrin migraine, and I'm off to get wrapping paper, bows, and one last thing for my sunshine. Today time can snicker all she wants, but I have my husband today. So love warms my heart. He's truly my rock and my better half all wrapped into one. Today is a day of planning and dreaming, and I'm so lucky to have him to do that with. I plan on making the most of it in every way, as I only have two weeks left before I go back to work. I will try to remember to hold on to these times and cherish them so that when I'm 6 months to a year or ten into my new job and wishing I was home, I can remember all the time I did spend at home with my boys, and truly be thankful for my evenings and weekends with my beautiful family. Today daydreams, happiness, and planning accompany my cup full of hope, and time will just have to wait.
