Back to the Rat Race

Well, today was my first day back to work. Oh man, that break went way too fast. All day, the only thing I could think about was how badly I wanted to be home reading a book. I wanted to go home so bad. It's a really good job, just hard to get back into the swing of things. So the good news is that I only have to go half day tomorrow. And then the weekend. Who ever thought that up was a genius and my new best friend. I'm thinking, well hoping, I'll be in a better state of mind on Monday.
Well this isn't a moan and groan blog. So on to happier things.
Tonight I got to take dinner to my friend who just adopted a baby girl! She is so sweet. And I held her for like an hour. Precious! I didn't want to let her go. Why is holding babies so nice?! It's one of my favorite things and I have to say one of the simple pleasures of my life.
One of my other simple pleasures is Chicken Kiev. I made some for my friends family, so of course I HAD to make some for us. What is it about food dipped in butter?! It's delicious.
Now I want to know your #1 Simple Pleasure. I don't know, maybe I'm going interactive.

I held my friend's baby on Wed night at the hospital. It was wonderful and I got all teary eyed. She was blotchy and bruised but she was gorgeous.

I totally agree,holding babies is an incredible experience. I think it's because your spirit communes with that little spirit so fresh from our Heavenly Father and it makes you feel at home in a way that nothing else does. How are you enjoying Sense & Sensibility? That is my favorite Jane Austen book. I read it every year.

Sometimes on the weekend my husband will get up with the kids and sneak out of the room so I can sleep in. What a wonderful thing it is to stay in bed until you want to get up. I love getting a little extra shut eye, because it is so rare. That to me is a simple pleasure.

i'd have to say my # 1 and 2 simple pleasures are, cuddling with my hubby ( we don't do that much b/c of school, work, and kids. So it is REALLY nice when we do. Especially when we both fall asleep and wake up like that. and 2nd I'd say is holding my children. Especially when they cuddle you or fall asleep!! :) SO NICE!

My simple pleasure seems strange compared to the others but I love to go shopping by myself without any kids. It can be for groceries, clothes, craft supplies (Roberts), or just browsing but I love it.
