I could not have had a better day....shopping with mom, baked cookies with JoJo while watching Polar Express and Santa Paws, Christmas pasta for dinner and Frosty the Snowman on TV for dessert! It was a day to just do stuff with my family....and I realize how little I do this. I spend my days doing laundry, cleaning up, doing work, answering phone calls and emails and running errands. I don't take nearly enough time to hang out with my kids and husband. I don't take enough time to just BE with them. BE myself and not the mom or business owner or PTA vice pres or cheer coach. I wear so many hats that I rarely go WITHOUT a hat! I would like to be able to take off my other hats and just be a mom and friend and family member. This will be my new years resolution this year. I may not be able to do these things often but I hope to be able to do it on the weekends. I will work hard during the week but I want to focus on family at night and during the weekends. Life is passing me by and I'm not able to enjoy it fully because I'm too busy.
So, after today's Holiday events....I learned a lesson and had a wonderful time with my kiddos.
