Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do.
So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor.
Catch the trade winds in your sails.
Explore. Dream. Discover.

I'm a Mom....

After a long weekend.... (Why would I be complaining about a long weekend???)

Our kids for some reason were really fighting with each other this weekend, which does not usually happen, they both kept ending up in time out.  I am endlessly trying to explain the beauty of "ignoring" to Kate.  The funny thing is, she gets it, she does it when she wants too.... She just really wants to have the last word.  (Hmmmm.... I wonder where she gets that passion from?)

Anyways, I joined them gym and I love it.  Free child care, spending time with my friends, having more energy.... it is great.  All I wanted to do this morning was get to the gym and have an hour to myself.  Bags are packed, kids are in the car, and..... Stephen vomits.  

I know, poor guy.... I do feel bad for him.  He has such a strong gag reflux, he can't just cough up something, he has to empty his stomach.  No, I do not think he is sick with a stomach bug, but he has been coughing and he does have a slight runny nose.  Nope, I won't be that mom, bringing her sick kid to infect everyone else's kids.  (However, there is a part of me that wants to be that mom right now, in order to get an hour to myself.)  Ahhhh.... tomorrow right?
