Eyes Wide Puffy

A day or two into my trip in St. Petersburg I noticed how my face looked rounder and younger in the bathroom mirror. “That’s what happens when you get a few full night of sleeps” I thought.

I smiled at knowing that I didn’t age as much as I thought I did.

Now,

a few days after being home with my two busy children, I notice how my eyes are smaller and redder and much much puffier. “What the heck is going on?” I think.

But,

I still smile looking at the most adorable faces of my children, and the supportive gaze of my husband.

That’s all I need, really.

“Mom, are you awake yet?”
