freeze a moment

Its been one of "those days". I had a serious game plan set up. It even involved my alarm going off at 6 am. Seriously. I believe ended with the alarm being shut off at 6:01. I really had great intentions. Yes, maybe you could call it "nesting" or just loving the feeling of accomplishment as it feels cleaner and less cluttered around here than it did yesterday. Then, 2pm.... nap time still hadn't happened for little one, and neither had grocery shopping, "work clothes" shopping for husband, or many other things that were going to have been "accomplished" by that point in the day according to the original plan. Little one began to whine for the gazillionth time and I grabbed him in a bear hug and the tickling commenced. I decided to let the list go. Let the frustration that it was not going to ALL be done today-- GO and focus on that moment. He was curled in my arms, eyes closed squealing with delight as I tickled his neck and tummy. His little giggles were so tender. I wish we could freeze time, that was a moment I would freeze.
