i'm thinking we should go in that room in the
way way back for a dance party. I'm pretty
sure I know a few peeps in the three-five
feet range who would join me.
wanted to share my first creative family
story...I got my preordered copies on Friday
afternoon and quickly tore open the box and
bask in all the creative goodness.
Of course I only got to skim quickly. I
paused here and there and loved the part
about your meal ritual of holding hands. So
this morning as we sat down to eat I
suggested we try it...we are a rather
unceromonious family but I really like things
like this anyway...4 year old refused to
partake but I think she'll warm up to the
idea...
Anyway...hubby, me and 19 mo old hands and I
thanked daddy for making the yummy
breakfast...and as hubby and I let go his
hand bumps his hot coffee and spills it all
over me.
Instead of get upset...I gave thanks that his
coffee was only warm and not too hot...and
that it spilled on the table, floor and my
lap and not on my food...and that I got to
take off my jeans because they were really
too tight anyway...and that it was HIS coffee
and not mine.
So anyway...long story short...It's a
wonderful ritual and even though it meant
spilled coffee I was really able to actually
enjoy the incident.
