31 days of letters (days 19 - 21) a letter to you and me…

I know this is a challenge to actually write every single day for 31 days. And I am not going to do that.

But I don’t see this as a failure, I see this as choosing the best thing for me right now.

I am running away this weekend. Enjoying a break from my life for a few days with my sweet baby and my mom.

Visiting family, playing games with friends, and just plain enjoying not having two high-energy little guys climbing on me every second.

I am going to use the bathroom without anyone tagging along and saying “Good job Mommy! You peed on the potty! I’m so proud of you!” & “MEEE Poop on a POtty TOOOOO mommy!”

I am going to shower alone without 2 little boys trying to shove me out of the way of the hot water in our cold bathroom.

I am going to eat food while it’s still hot, and enjoy looking at my sweet baby in other people’s willing arms!

I may even bring my real camera out to play and take lots and lots of pictures of that sweet little girl.

I am not going to write. I am not going to cook. And I am not even going to take my computer!

Yes, I still have my iPhone and will play as usual while Baby Girl wakes for middle-of-the-night feedings, but that will be about it.

I will not feel guilty for only actually writing 29 letters. I will look at that gap and remember the perfect, soul-charging, heart-filling weekend it stands for.

And I will be a better mom for it!
