So yesterday, I was happily getting ready for an evening out. I'd already teed up my plans with A & C, letting them know that I'd be leaving after suppertime but home when they woke up in the morning. There were the usual, half-protests (although I know that they equally enjoy R handling bedtime as well). While R worked on supper, I was enjoying the quiet and solitude of a nice, hot shower. Bathroom door closed, room warm and steamy, mental state relaxed.
Enter C, in her 2 1/2 year-old exuberance.
"Mommy!?!"Exit C. Bathroom door open, steam and warmth departed, mental state re-mommified.
::sigh:: "Yes?"
"I want to sit in your LAP!!"
::sigh:: "Okay. Can we take care of that in a few minutes?"
"Okay!"
I love you, my energetic, loving, busy, amazing girls. And after a fun night of laughter and fun with some great gals last night, I'm "reset" and ready to see how you make me laugh this week ahead.
Okay, I was TOTALLY wondering if you were going to talk about our night. :) Love this story, too. A little time away does wonders for the soul, doesn't it? Great spending time with you!!!
ReplyDeleteI did laugh out loud at the Noodles & Co. comment. Very funny.
ReplyDeleteBut yes, amazing how stepping away for a bit gives you new appreciation for what you stepped away from.
Yay for night's out and a reset and then coming home to sweet children!
