Brownies

To see through a child's eyes is wonderful! Being a busy mom and wife sometimes you forget the simple joy in just doing everyday things. I was running around like crazy today, taking Bianka to school, cleaning, cooking, picking up and dropping off Josh, needless to say it was a regularly busy day. I couldn't seem to get things done fast enough!( I even forgot that today was my birthday until my Mom called and said Happy Birthday!!) Ok, so I was cooking dinner and had to get something out of the pantry when this box of brownies came flying at my head, all I could do was laugh and think, Happy Birthday To Me!! After I picked it up and put it back in the pantry Bianka asked me if she could help with dinner. I told her not tonight because everything was on the stove and of course she can't get near it. Then I had this little kid giddy feeling and I remembered how much I loved to help in the kitchen when I was little so I went to the pantry and got out that box of brownies and asked Bianka if she would like to make desert. I wish I could get so excited over something so little,she was BEAMING! I put dinner on hold and I made brownies with my three year old daughter. It was the most fun I have had in the longest time. My clean kitchen was covered in brownie batter, my daughter had chocolate all over her cute cloths, up her arms and down her legs, and even in her hair. I had chocolate all over my cute Ohio State shirt, and I didn't get anything that I wanted to get done accomplished. On most normal days this would stress me out and might even just get me angry, but today was different. Don't ask me why but it was. I forgot how much fun it was to not worry about the mess, not to worry about what has to be done. Making brownies with my daughter was the best birthday present I could have ever gotten. Thank you Bianka for letting Mommy look through your eyes for a little while. I Love You.
