It's the Simple Things.......

Ahh..... The simple pleasures in life! Every night we go to bed. Same old dreaded bathroom routine! Set my cup of water on the bathroom counter. Sit and stare at the the toothbrush in my hand and the tube of toothpaste. Sometimes I even sit down and stare at them thinking of how much I don't want to brush my teeth! Yes silly as it is.... I don't like to brush my teeth! I do love the clean feel of them when I'm done..... I just... I don't know! I think I just don't like the toothpaste! It's soap in your mouth! Yes it might be tasty, but see those bubbles??!!! SOAP! I know... I know. (but what you don't know is that this is a tangent. Let me move a long) But heaven forbid that I EVER miss a night! Faithfully I wash my mouth out with soap! And after I get past that mountain, I take my cup of water and drink my vitamin down and head to bed. No big deal. Routine and mundane. But then something happens that brightens and brings magic to my night every time!! Brett turns the fan on (I'm smiling and laughing just at the thought)!! Most of the time I forget and don't think about what will happen next, but almost every time without fail!! The little mini fan on his nightstand whirls and as it whirls it starts to scoot it's way off and falls on the floor!!!!!!! TA DAH!!!!! Now this isn't what's so funny! What brings such elated, gleeful, joy to my soul (and I should be ashamed to admit this I admit) is that every time Brett gets so irritated!!!!! Because he's already in bed and he has to get out of bed and pick up the stupid fan!!! He growls and he throws the covers back! And he picks up the fan and replaces it trying to carfully place it so that it won't happen again (which doesn't always work he he) all the while so aggravated!! He He He Ha Ha Ha (I'm laughing my head off as I write this) It never fails to brighten the dullest of nights! Ha ha ha I LOVE IT!!!!!!! It's the simple things that bring me pleasure in life! I know. What in the world's wrong with me? ;)

Its been hard to place it, but I am so relieved that we have finally nailed it down...that's what's wrong with you!
No, I love the simple pleasuers, and the fact that we can recognize them will keep us young forever. Because that is one of the sweetest qualities of children.
I'm not calling you a child! You catch my drift?
