Lazy Sundays

I love waking up to crisp, fall lazy Sundays in Oklahoma with the strong sunlight piercing in through my plantation shutters. I enjoy the groggy walk to the kitchen, the steaming coffee biting my tongue, and big blanket covering my legs later on the couch as I enjoy the quiet of the house.

I love seeing the children coming down the stairs with their mussed up hair and sleepy warmness as they find a spot on the couch next to me cuddling up to enjoy groggy musings of the dreams from the night before. “I love you mom,” they say with a smile. And then after a long pause in which I enjoy the genuine warmth of their sweet words they start to fidget and twitch. They say, “What are you making me for breakfast?”

When I tell them that whatever they can find in the kitchen themselves is what they get for breakfast  I get a look, a look that tells me my lazy Sunday has come to an end.
