Journaling:

I know what a perfect day should consist of, but do I really want that? Lets be completely honest. My children are my life, but would a perfect day consist of spending time with them or being alone, how about a happy medium. Ive been on vacation this last week and Ive had a couple of days that were damn near perfect. Now if I could just erase the bad parts from those daysbut isnt that what life is all about?
The week started with adventure. I took the kids out and decided to take them to lunch and Toys R Us. We had to travel to a city that I havent been to in a while. You guessed it, we got lost. After about 45 minutes of figuring out what I did wrong, I got them to the restaurant, despite the whining and carrying on. After that, we had a wonderful time eating and then at the toy store. We were all tired and content by the time we got home.
Another wonderful day during my vacation consisted of doing absolutely nothing. I slept in, had my coffee in the quiet recesses of my office, and just vegged. All day I did what I wanted, which consisted of scrapbooking, a little designing, and some reading. I even took a nap. Now, this day wasnt absolutely perfect either, factoring in a 3 year old, I had to take time out to take care of her needs, her tantrums, her whims.
Now, what would the perfect day be? I think if I could manage it, it would be a little of both of these two days, minus the bad parts. I would take my kids out and have a good time, minus the whining, and I would love to be left alone to do whatever my heart desired at home, a kind of quiet break away from the norm. That would be perfect. But, life doesnt work that way. Who says we cant dream?
