small step: devour life

So I have been living the high life
I've been off work since December 22
Christmas break is only second to Summer break
I always enjoy vacations
But I really really loved being off
We didn't travel this Christmas
Both of our families came to us
It was great
Anyway I really enjoyed taking time to make each meal
And being able to workout whenever
I also appreciated being able to clean on any day not just Saturday's
My husband went back to work yesterday
So I was thinking this is what it would be like if I was a stay at home mom
Except we don't have any children yet
But that got me thinking even more
I think we're ready to procreate
We talk about the idea from time to time
But the desire has been steadily growing stronger and stronger
Every month I wonder if this is going to be the time my period is a no show
We have five nieces and nephews under 5
So when shopping for the gifts
It always pulls on my heart a little
I am completely happy with our life
I am so blessed to have an amazing husband
I also recognize we are able to do so much freely now
If we had children our lifestyle would have to adjust
Anyway what I'm saying is motherhood is on my mind

So I go back to work tomorrow
I go back to my faux children
I go back to my regular busy schedule
But I am bringing a newness and a freshness
I had a really relaxing break

2011 has just begun
I wonder what will be on my mind in April, August, and this time next year
