reset

Another Monday comes... and goes...

And somewhere in the middle things get hurried and crazy and scattered and hectic.

And now, another Friday nears, signaling the start of the weekend...

Writing this blog has shown me we are in this together... We are in different places doing different things... but we are the same- and for the most part we all want the same thing...

Happy...

We all feel so many of the same scary things but think we are alone...
We all feel so many of the same happy things- but think we don't deserve it.


We deserve the good...and we will make it through the hard, scary, terrible, confusing, unwanted and ugly. We always do- right?

Tonight I met my Friend Wendy for a mani-pedi... as I like to say- therapy comes in many different forms... I love Wendy because I can meet her with wet hair and no makeup on and not think twice about it. That's a real friend. Wendy has 4 kids, with 4 crazy schedules- but she always, always, always makes time for me and never complains about being busy... I've found the people that don't have time- that are so crazy busy and always need to tell you how crazy busy they are- actually are not the busiest people...

And we talked about Life and everything in between...And afterwards we stopped for a glass of wine which somehow removed every ounce of residual stress. On the way home I passed the place where the boys do therapy on Thursday mornings...














And as I drove by,  I remembered being there this morning- hurried and hectic and stressed and stern... I hate that girl. She's absolutely no fun. She takes Life way too seriously. And tonight I drove home grounded like tree... giddy with excitement to see my boys... Seriously- like Christmas morning excited... Never ever ever feel guilty about YOU time away from your kids... In fact- make it a point to take some...They deserve to see eyes so excited to see them...way better than my usual tired exasperated- are you fricking kidding me- eyes... Sometimes it's good to reset yourself...

I will say it 1,000 times- a happy you is the greatest gift you can give them.

And this is the beauty I came home to...



Someone needed to poop but wouldn't.

Sometimes he makes the funniest faces on the pot...







And now he just pooped (in his pants) and he won't go to sleep and is yelling...and I could care less. He's actually making me laugh... It's funny how Friend time can give you that beautiful perspective...


Have a weekend filled with awesome... You deserve it.


Love,
Chrissy
