Fast forward

My husband said to me last night I wish I could just fast forward this week to Friday. He was supposed to have the week off but if you know him that really never happens. He is sick and really tired. So this question made me think about a movie I recently watched CLICK and I was very disappointed. I was looking for a funny, laugh out loud, you know an Adam Sandler movie but what I got was a kinda annoying, sappy, maybe even a little sad movie that I wish I had not wasted the time on.

The heart of the matter is as I sat there last night and thought of fast forwarding it to Friday, which might be nice since Alexis has no school, Will and the girls are sick, I am planning a party for the weekend and one for Emme's 1st birthday and the girls were a little cranky yesterday after being sick and having a huge weekend so to fast forward was an intriguing proposition but then I think what would I miss.

It would be the beautiful little things I would miss not the big grandiose things the little things that happen everyday that sometimes you forget to appreciate. Such as Alexis telling her daddy that she misses her uncle Robbie. William asks her why do you like him she replied he is funny, which makes us both laugh because this describes him to a tee he is funny in a dorky little brother way. We are not sure how well she remembers him she has only meet him a couple times but when she sees her daddies phone she wants to do two things call Robbie and play the bubble game.

The little things the way Emme wakes up at night and crawls into William's arms and loves on him. The daily reminder that Alexis is my daughter by falling out of her chair when she is just sitting there. An "I love you mommy" from Alexis or even better this morning she told me "Mommy you are so beautiful". When I see Emme light up when you get her out of bed after a goods night sleep. I love to see my girls faces when their daddy comes home from work it is true joy. Or when my husband kisses me and my heart still jumps. It is amazing all the little things you would miss if you missed just one day.
