Peace

As I write, the fire is lit, the lights are dim...and Bob is curled up on the sofa beside me, wrapped in my fluffy purple dressing gown watching Dora's ABC's for the thousandth time.  It's almost 11pm, James is on a rare night out and Toad's no.1 and 2 are asleep upstairs.
Bob is sleepily twirling my hair and every so often he tells me "go asleep" because he wants me to lie on the sofa beside him (I don't think he appreciates the breadth of my posterior).
He should be in bed, of course, but the moment is too lovely to ruin with fighting.  Sleep will come in it's own time.
The tranquil, lovely moments of closeness are precious, when I put aside OT, ST, play, reading, writing etc etc and we just simply are.
I don't believe in God, but I do believe in this.
Peace out.

  1. Really lovely post Jeanie, enjoy the sleepy peace as we rarely get this contentment with our children, these are moments to treasure and not be hurried as the day will come all too soon when this bliss will surely be shattered. Much love xxxx

  2. Jeanie what a beautiful image. I love nothing better than those moments where you can snuggle or a hand reaches out and touches your face or hair. I love "go asleep" and our own one here is "snuggles with the mummy" which I am helpless to ignore. Peace out and much love back at you sweetie xxxx

  6. Sounds heavenly Jeanie! You are so right to enjoy the moment. Isn't it lovely to get a break from all the "work" our children habe to do? I'm sure Bob lOVED it! Just today WiiBoy and I had one of those moments, snuggles on the sofa under a duvet watching Lilo and Stitch!! Long may it last, I say!
