Work. Chores. Kids. Stuff. Repeat. That is the life of a Mom. We love it but it is exhausting. When we find ourselves on E...we need to fill up our tank with a little something that recharges our soul. One of my tricks is tv night with my girl, Jenne. We retired this event for quite some time. Things were soooo crazy we couldn't even line up the time. Now we are remembering that it should be a priority. This week we both needed extra I suppose because we nearly made it to the very next day...and as we looked at the clock nearing midnight we couldn't believe that that much time had gone by. Idol and some Maya on SNL and we were feeling better. A couple hours of bitchin', whinin' and a-moanin' and we felt validated, heard and a tad bit lighter.
At work we have a little desk calendar with words of inspiration for the day. Last year I asked to take one of them home and it is stuck to the wall under a cabinet as a daily reminder for those around me. Oh, and myself. I need the reminder more than anyone. It says:
"The greatest gift you can give to your children is to take care of their mother."
