Cramming

Last night was one of those moments where time seems to slip through your fingers, and you’re left scrambling to soak up every little bit of it. It reminded me of being a kid again, cramming for finals—only this time, it was about making the most out of the fleeting moments I had with my family. Here’s a random tidbit from last night: I think I fell asleep somewhere between the stairs and my bed. The last thing I remember clearly is wrapping myself in a cozy throw blanket from the couch and starting up the steps. The next thing I knew, I woke up in bed, still bundled in that same blanket, with slippers dangling off the edge. I must’ve just dropped into place without even realizing it! Another random fact? My husband somehow managed to score over $150 worth of groceries for just $16! He did it by using some clever tricks—stuff like coupons, sales, and probably a touch of sheer luck. We ended up keeping some for ourselves and packed the rest to share with others. It was such a satisfying feeling. Oh, and one more thing—last night, we let the kids stay up late so they could chat with their grandparents via iMessage. Their grandparents are enjoying a balmy winter down south while we’re braving the snow here. The kids loved spending that extra time together, and it made for some really sweet moments. While we were up, we decided to get creative. We grabbed a blanket (the very same one I fell asleep in), scissors, sparkly pink and red paper, and a cute little mailbox I found in the Target dollar bin. Together, we transformed the blanket into something special, sprinkling it with heart-shaped cutouts. Then my daughter got busy drawing stick-figure pictures of us on the back and “mailing” them to me. She even raised the flag for authenticity! I’ll have more details about our crafting adventure soon, but right now, I’m trying to piece together exactly what happened after I climbed those stairs. All I know is that I ended up in bed, but I don’t remember moving the blanket or slipping under the covers. But here’s the real takeaway from last night: no matter how exhausted I am or how heavy my eyelids feel, I’ll always choose moments with my kids over a few extra hours of sleep. Watching their faces light up makes everything worthwhile. As for the final fact? Life isn’t measured by the number of hours we log in bed, but by the seconds we manage to grab and fill with love. And last night? Well, I filled mine to the brim. --- Hope you enjoyed reading this little glimpse into our lives. Let me know if you have any questions or stories of your own to share!
