An Audible Sigh of Relief

That is what came out of my mouth the minute I heard there was a two hour snow delay. After a very active and fun three day weekend with friends, the girls were sleeping in. I was in no hurry to get the morning started. We were fortunate to not have therapy this morning due to Miss Cynthia's vacation. Thus, we eased into our morning and played in our PJ's until it was time to get dressed and take advantage of the free Chick-Fil-A breakfast. Immediately following, I dropped Lila Grace at school and came home to play with my other two snotty and feverish girls (Savannah stayed home from school today).

I wish every morning had the opportunity to move at this pace. Usually, I am dressing and doing three heads of hair at lightening speed. What has been even more enjoyable is the absence of therapy over the past four days. It makes all the difference in the girl's behavior. While one is working with a therapist, the other feels left out and fights me for an entire hour. Today, there was no one to fight over and the girls got along wonderfully. My patience didn't run dry at 9:30 am!

Finally, being able to watch our nation gear up for it's 44th president was pretty impressive. Savannah already knows who Obama is and was quite impressed by all the attendees at his inauguration this morning. She ask very interesting questions like, "Does the President ever get sick? So, he is a Daddy and a President Mommy? What did his previous house look like? Why are there always people with him if the White House is his home?" What was equally special, was watching Obama take his oath with Miss Belle snuggled up on my lap. We never watch TV. I turned it on to see if he had been sworn in at them moment it started. Luckily for me, Adeline wanted to watch as well. I hope that all of my girls are able to look back on this day and realize that dreams are meant to be BIG!
