The beginning lyrics of that James Blunt song (from the playlist in the sidebar) are perfect- except when he starts talking about some girl on the subway- I haven't gotten on a subway in a long time and I certainly wasn't falling for a girl, when I did. But, nevertheless, my life is brilliant, my love is pure just about fits the bill right now.

It is Saturday morning and life is good. My kids may not agree, as they are being directed, at this moment, to begin cleaning to get the house ready for their grandparents' visit later today. I got to sleep in this morning, all by myself (Tom took Seth from me at about 7:30). Seth slept twelve hours last night and that is a coup for any Sombar child, believe me. I love weekends- even when we are doing less than exciting things like scrubbing toilets- because we are together. We're all looking forward to spending some time with Granny and Paul and Tom is chomping at the bit to go on our date, which we have scheduled for tonight at 7:30. My friend Jen Lemen always says that the Sombars have "togetheritis." Its true and I'm so glad.
