With Hubby gone, I feel like I need to fill up our days with lots of cool, interesting things for my boys to do. The zoo, the beach, McD's, playdates, soccer, gymnastics, etc. Every day that passed without something outrageously special felt like a failure.
But I asked myself this morning, why do I feel that way? My boys are perfectly happy watching Mickey Mouse. And even though they love Happy Meals a little too much, they're perfectly happy with a homemade PB&J or grilled cheese sandwich. I've been putting so much pressure on myself to make sure the kids are happy that I didn't realize that they already are.
So today, at 11:30am, we are all still in pjs. I paid the bills, cleaned the kitchen, and did some laundry- boring, mundane, totally-not-special things. And we are surviving. In fact, it's relieving to not be rushing out the door for once. Besides soccer tonight, I think the name of the game today is going to be "The Hell With It, Nothing Can Be Fun, Too!"

I soooo know what you mean! And your right... sometimes nothing can be better than doing anything at all. I was going out or doing stuff with my munchkin almost everyday too, but then soon discovered how broke I would become, despite the extra pay LOL! I had to remind myself to slow down, that we have a lot of time ahead of us, and even still... it has flown by!
