solsc: it happens 17/31



March Slice of Life Story Challenge
hosted at the Two Writing Teachers
Join us for a month of writing!


Every once in awhile it happens.
Life with toddlers is exhausting.

We're on the go and keeping busy.
Going, and moving, and doing.  

playing games
dressing up
lots of laughing
coloring projects
hair accessories
keeping the peace
baby doll dressing
puzzle making
sometimes crying
tea parties
hide-and-seek
always enjoying

During the weekend we try.  
And yesterday I did it too.

Every once in awhile it happens.
A nap.  A much needed nap.

    I'm babysitting for my toddler grandson for two weeks at their house. It is surely an active age, and I am thankful for his nap times though I haven't been able to take one myself yet!

    YAY for naps! I love how you write about your girls, I wish I had blogged when my children were younger. They are going to have some precious treasures when they get older because of your writing.

    Those napping days are numbered, so take advantage when you can. Sunday afternoon is the perfect time to steal a few quiet moments and rest your eyes.

    Sorry, it must be that transitional time for the girls to begin giving them up. Hope you mean all of you got the nap!

A Conversation with My Writer Self

I don't know what to write about today. [Scratching head.  Bulging eyes staring at the blank screen.] Write about the ordinary. Write about the little things. Just write and write. I know, I know.  But I don't know what to write. [Shoulder shrug. Clicking fingertips on the keyboard.] Open your writer's notebook. Search for an idea, a seed, a spark. Let it grow, ignite and you will write. My writer's notebook? Oh, that little book that has been ignored?  Unattended?  Left blank? [Digging and searching for my notebook.] Live the life of a writer. Ideas breathe all around you  every day.   In and out.  In and out. I know. I know. [Dusting the notebook off. Cracking it open as if it hasn't been opened in years.] It's time to revive the notebook. Open your eyes and ears to your world that's waiting to be captured and shared. I know what to write about today., but first, let me write down a few ideas. [Bringing my wr...

{bedtime stories} 2/31 #sol16

The March Slice of Life Story Challenge hosted  at the  Two Writing Teachers Join us for a month of writing! _________________________________________________________ "Time to head upstairs.  PJs on and let's brush teeth!"  My very favorite time of the day is bedtime with the girls.  I hurry and hustle and bustle them along, so that we have plenty of time to settle into a bedtime story or two (or more like three).  Each girl picks out a book and then one usually snags a third. "Mommy, this is one that you want to read. Right?"  When the girls are completely ready for bed, we meet in my bedroom to snuggle in the big bed.  I'm in the middle, sandwiched between the two girls.  Heads resting close by, slowly slithering closer, they each nestle on my shoulder to get a closer look at every ...

sols: a gift of words

Slice of Life  hosted  at the  Two Writing Teachers . Join in and share a slice of your life. One of the best gifts I give myself is time to write Monday evenings for the Tuesday Slice of Life.  That writing time allows me the opportunity to think about the little moments in my life.  Sometimes those moments are big and important.  Other times it's a funny moment that made me laugh.  Or a celebration, a word, a poem about the ordinary life.  I'm still amazed that I have been writing each week for over three years! Yet, there is another gift . . . My mom and dad have published my writing.  Just this past Christmas, I received volume five of my blog writing.  Yes, I have five books f...
