the joy in the everyday things

I love being able to relax and just play with my 3 year old. I used to have alot of guilt if I didn't run around plan something do something be supermom or be a working mom. I still get up and do all the things a domestic goddess should do. make beds, plan dinner, clean the house, put in the laundry in all that stuff but I love to throw on some sweats and just paint with her and read.  Let her "cook" for me and go shopping at the store, which is the pantry lol. I love it !!!!

I have come to conclusion that I would rather go with out  some new games.. or a dinner out.... or some new outfits for the ability to stay home.  I won't lie I do sometimes miss being with other adults and feeling a sense of worth. But than I look around and know I run a HELL of a house. my kids are good kind respectful lil boogers with wild imaginations which I adore. They are not bumps on a log that have been told not to express themselves, which btw here, where I live is the norm.

I enjoy the day to day routine with the ocassional Girl Scout meeting, the PTA get togethers, and the SCENTSY parties. I love being a mommy. !
