Favorite moment...
After a long day at work, nothing seems more enticing than the thought of my big, comfy
bed. After a hot bath, a few chapters of my new book, and a cup of tea, I rested my head
on my soul one's chest and began to drift away. The bliss was short lived, however, as
we were soon awakened by a crying Isabelle who swore up and down that monsters
had claimed her room as theirs. Into the bed she climbed, right between her mama
and daddy, in the place where she feels safe. We drifted off to sleep again only to
be awakened by a crying Brees who swore up and down that she needed a midnight
snack RIGHT NOW. Into the bed she climbed, right between her mama and daddy, in
the place where she feels safe. I soon found myself with 2 inches of bed to call my own,
Brees' arm thrown across my face, Belle's legs across mine, Shawn snoring like a grizzly
bear. I let out a big sigh, willing myself to just fall asleep despite being terribly
uncomfortable. And then Shawn rolled over, wrapped his feet around mine, the only
body parts we could reach between the babies, and he whispered, "I love you, Liv. Love
you so much. Isn't this so nice?". And he went right back to snoring. And I thought, yes,
this is so nice. Our bed is full of love, full of my favorite people.
I suppose there's not much to complain about.
