i am always woken up at 5 in the morning to the laughter of two little girls who sleep so softly and so rarely at night. that is the morning "normal" each and every day. and yes, it is always a little annoying because sometimes, just sometimes, i would rather fight waking up from a really amazing dream, as colbie caillat sings me awake from my cell phone sitting on the wooden table beside my bed instead. once again, that didn't happen today.
however, i still laid there waiting for that familiar tune and when it finally came i hit the button on my phone to silence it's playful melody and checked my emails just to stop that little red reminder light from blinking. i continued to lay there and after 30 minutes i had convinced myself that today was going to be a good day full of productivity. so then, i slid out from under my warm white sheets and planted my feet on the floor. still in a state of "i don't want to get out of this bed", i made my way to the bathroom.
it was time to start this day!

sometimes when i think it is going to be just another normal day, life sneaks in a few special little moments that are really nothing more than little reminders to enjoy the small things.
the small things, like when you find out that in just two more days the new harris teeter grocery store that is so much closer to your house will be open. or that the amazingly wonderful and friendly japanese sushi chef that is a perfectionist at his work and makes the best darn sushi around is training the sushi chef for that new store. or that the fashionably dressed gentleman and his wife standing next to us and our clan of children not once looked at jason and i as if we must be poor white trash simply because we have this many kids in tow and they are running around and swinging from the shelves like starved monkeys. and then so kindly sparked up a friendly conversation with jason and i as we waited.
i like the small things.
it could possibly be that i was high on life because i am finally over the worst sickness i have had in 80 years and full of energy, or it could have easily been the amazing weather and bright sunshine, but today was definitely a good day.
