1. Snow!!!! Snow as an adult is not always fun...well, it is fun for adults who love to ski and enjoy other winter sports, but for us poor fools who prefer hot chocolate and warm fire snow is not always fun. Yet, snow as a child has got to be the coolest thing ever! We got our first snowfall of the season late yesterday afternoon. My children ran in and out of the house all day today. Snow, experienced with a child is always fun.
2. My mom. Not only is my mom very cool and smart, but she always seems to have the answers - I don't know how she does it because I am a mom and I do not have all the answers! (It is debatable if I am as cool and as smart as my own mother). BTW, mom, thank you for your advice with Zack & reading. I have been doing some research at the library & think I have found the answer.
3. Muscles. I love the fact that my muscles want to move. Have you ever experienced that feeling? Is that perfectly normal? Sometimes, I can almost see with my mind's eye my body doing some amazing things - like a cartwheel (yeah, I don't know how to do one in real life). If I "listen" to that "prompt" and move my body then I always feel 100% better. always. I find it amazing that our bodies want to move and our muscles want to be used.
4. The modern conveniences of life. Seriously. Do you realize how cool it is to nuke a cup of water for hot chocolate? or take a warm shower inside the house at any time of the day? I mean, we have to be some of the luckiest/most blessed people of all the ages to have so many "little" modern conveniences. I personally, love central heating & cooling, refrigerators/freezers, washers & dryers, running water, indoor toilets, and television (I can easily be a t.v. junkie).
5. It is only 4 more days till Christmas! I can't wait!!! I love Christmas. I love counting down. I love giving presents. And this year, we are introducing K to the joy of being Santa's elf. When I was K's age, my grandmother awoke me very late on Christmas Eve to have me play Santa's elf - I put a package of candy (peanut brittle, I think, it came in a large pink tub) in my mom's stocking. Santa had already come to the house. The next morning, my mom kept trying to figure out how the candy got in her stocking. It was great & I loved it. I knew the "secret" of Santa and I loved helping out every year playing Santa's elf. I can not wait to share this with my oldest.
