Woohoo! It’s Friday night! What are my exciting plans you ask? My fun begins with stopping off at the grocery store on the way home. I know. I know, you’re jealous. It gets better. When I get home, I start dinner. Don’t fear, I have even more to come. First sibling fight of the night ends in a disaster between siblings. Separated the Dynamic Destructive Duo. Get one out the door for a sleepover while the other one gets some quality time with dad. Chat with a girlfriend while dropping off the youngest 1/2 of the Dynamic Destructive Duo. Come home and deal with an upset second 1/2 of the Dynamic Destructive Duo because he is not at a sleepover. So we are playing a game of “let’s figure out how to appease the kid so mommy can have a break”. So far it’s not working, so mommy has decided to take a break myself. 

This, ladies and gentlemen, is my exciting Friday night.

I really do love this time though. Spending time being “mom” is the best time I spend. There are so many demands placed upon a Working Mommy that it’s hard to figure out how to balance everything. When I get a night where I am Mom, first and foremost, I feel like I am in my element. I enjoy my time spent shuffling kids around, cooking dinner, baking a fun dessert, watching a movie together in bed, even breaking up the Dynamic Destructive Duo from battling each other to the death (j/k).

My best times are spent with my kiddos snuggling, releasing the pressures of the day and breathing in their innocence.
