You can learn many things from children. How much patience you have, for instance.
~Franklin P. Jones
All parents need a little chillaxing time here and then. My children sleeping over at grandma's house can be the perfect remedy for a stressed out mommy, even if it is for only one day. How many times do I get to relax outside on the deck in the morning to enjoy a delicious cup of coffee with no interruptions or screaming? That would be almost never!!
So I am taking full advantage of this me time with my husband to soak in the sun on our new bistro patio set (my birthday gift)!
A relaxing morning on the deck!
Speaking of birthday gifts, my 34th birthday is coming up on Monday. It is sort of sad that at this point my life, I could really care less whether I celebrate my birthday with parties and presents, or not. Don`t get me wrong, I am highly appreciative when someone gives me a gift and tells me a ``Happy Birthday``. But I wouldn`t be upset if I didn`t get a big bash. It is such funny how your priorities change when you become a parent that I am more excited for my children`s birthdays then my own. I guess because the greatest gift anyway is having a family to share with it. So instead of receiving birthday gifts, I just want to make birthdays wish (or wishes):
- To learn to relax and not stress over the little things
- To wish for myself and my family health and happiness
- In pursuit of my passions (fitness, nutrition, etc.) I will take in all in as a process and not beat myself up when all doesn`t go according to plan
Happy Weekend Everyone!
