The past couple of days have been rough for us (understatement, because head lice) with
our kids so I don't know if you need to take a deep breath, but I do. I've accomplished nothing on my original list today.
Meanwhile, our kids are all home from school and college so I want to do all the fun things with them. Today, I'm just doing
laundry and cleaning hair. Maybe by tonight we'll be able to do something fun? And maybe our "fun things list" gets pared down to things like "watch another Christmas movie" and "eat pizza."
I've learned over the years that it really doesn't take
grand plans to make memories. And are your kids like mine? We do something ONE TIME and after that they are like, "Remember know how we ALWAYS..." They just remember the fun, and it's magical to them just because they get to do it. Even if it's simple.
So
take a deep breath with me and truly enjoy the next few days, even if it looks different than you originally planned them to look.
