Warm Hearts Happy Family

Does anybody else feel like vacation is about 90% work and only 10% relaxation? At least when you have small children anyway and you are sharing a small house with lots of extended family. We are back from our ten day excursion and I am ready for my normalcy back.

I always feel so inadequate when around other women who can work a kitchen with ease and grace. I always feel like there are other mothers out there that surely do a better job than me, and I know most moms are much more organized than me. I did my best but still fell short of certain people’s expectations. I have never claimed to be the best house keeper, but I can say with confidence my children are showered with quality time and love. And THAT is what matters to me. Oh well, trying to let it roll off my back.

Anyway, despite both of my children ending up in urgent care, thunderstorms, hail, snow, tornadoes, and sun burns (yes, all in one week people!), mixed with crazy drama, my family had a great time. We did lots of fun activities–I’m talking real memory makers–and spent oodles of quality time together.

Now the unpacking and days of laundry begin, getting the kids back on their routines, and catching up in the workplace. I changed my mind…about 95% work–but so worth it.
