Bliss

I sit here listening to the quiet of my children sitting at the table coloring, but the thing I enjoy the most is the smell. I can smell the fresh rain mixed with the wonderful scent of cake cooking. I am baking all the cakes for Ashley's birthday, so for the day my house we be delightfully yummy. It is ugly gloomy gray outside, but my house is cozy and I feel like wrapping in a blanket and sipping hot cocoa all day. However, my priority today is making all her cakes so I can freeze them tonight and shape them tomorrow. Oh how I have fallen for that blond haired blue-eyed beauty. I would do anything for her, and for her two sisters who have the same effect on me. Marianne called me "the ultimate mom" the other day, something about all the work I was doing for Ash's birthday and then asked me if I "will still go to all this trouble when they are seventeen and don't want it"? My response "of course" truth be told they have me wrapped around their fingers and I would do ANYTHING for them, I think they know it too! For today I am enjoying my own piece of bliss.
