New Name...
Yesterday when I was talking to nick about what I planned on doing when the boys were napping, I said "I feel like nothing but tea and sweatpants, I think that should be my motto!" Don't worry, I do have more in my wardrobe than sweatpants (my dear friends wouldn't allow me to wear them every day) and I drink more than tea(thank goodness for not having brown teeth). I do however love to wear sweatpants after a warm shower, a long day, church clothes, and in cold weather. I LOVE tea when I'm with friends, an hour before bed, on a "coffee date" with Nick, and when reading a book.
I decided that all of my life should fit into this motto in some way. Some pieces of the way I choose to parent are a bit old fashioned (like tea) and some are relaxed and comfortable (like sweatpants). My love and friendships are in perfect harmony when I treat them with the delicacy of tea and the comfort of sweatpants. Well, you get the picture, tea and sweatpants it is! I know I make Grandma Eyvone proud with the tea part and my sons proud with the sweatpants part!
