makeshift monday

striped socks selfie diptych

after yesterday's change o' plans,
i decided to make this a chore-filled monday.
{it's what playpens were made for!}
but then i realized...

the laundry
and dishes
and piles of clutter
and sticky cheerio snacks stuck in the carpet
and stacks of paperwork
and messy countertops
and unread e-mails
will always be there...
certainly to return,
even if cleaned up or cleared away for a time.
but isaac... he will not always be
seven and a half months old.
he will not always be learning to walk
or just beginning to talk.
he will not always be my little peanut.
and those toys will not always be scattered across my floors.


so i put the chores away
and decided to get some playing done.


and by the time i shifted gears,
the sun came out from behind gray winter skies
and the hubby came home early
{half of a sick day}.


mondays can be quite lovely sometimes.
even when you least expect it.


{although, this might make for a very long tuesday.}
