I spend a lot of my weekends just hanging out and playing with the kids. I know I should be doing work. I'm not going to go out there tomorrow, and I'm going to get work done. I should feel bad, and I do a little. However, things like today make me smile.
Katie was having a long day. She was very very tired. At one point she just started screaming, "MOMMY MOMMY MOMMY!" for no apparent reason. I scooped her up, rocked her back and forth in my arms and kissed her on the head and she stopped. She snuggled into me and started to go to sleep. L. wanted her to eat some lunch since she didn't really eat breakfast that morning, so she sat on my lap and I fed her one thing at a time... green beans, some soft pretzel, cheese, etc. Then she laid her head on my shoulder and went back to sleep. We laid down, her head on my chest with the rest of her body on my tummy while I laid on my back. She slept on me for about two hours while I went in and out of consciousness myself as I was pretty tired as well. Nothing compares to having a little girl snuggle into you and sleep on you. As I laid there, I thought, "This is happiness."
