Life With Boys

Matt and I were fortunate enough to escape to the Lake of the Ozarks over the weekend for a long overdue bit of time together (a big thank you to Pat and Mike for taking the boys). But what I discovered when I got there was this — I don’t remember how to be just me and it was very frustrating. I’m so busy all the time being Mom, coordinator of all things, employee, goddess of the world, that I didn’t know what I should be doing with myself when I’m not buzzing around. I tried my best to R-E-L-A-X, but found it very hard to do. So now I’m back to the grind again, feeling slightly more rested but like I shorted myself. Now what?

OK — amendment 8:14 p.m. — I did have a good time, Matt gave me a great surprise on the way there and found a pick your own lavender farm, so we picked some lavender — it smells wonderful. It was also nice to wake up on my own for a change and Matt and I didn’t know what to do with ourselves in a restaurant when we don’t have kidos to referee.
