Weekly Update
It is Monday and all 3 of my girls are home from school for President’s Day. I woke up early to get a head start on this blog and my ever-growing inbox, so that I can be available for my girls.
It is a good thing I did! Teen girls are quite independent, but they still need their Momma and keep me plenty busy.
My youngest needs a ride later this afternoon to join her cousin for a couple of fun hours at a local craft studio. My middle girl woke up with a sore throat and asked if I would make her a soothing smoothie. then reminded me that we need to practice driving and pick up a job application today. My oldest just sent me a text that said, “Prom dress shopping?” a request I was not able to say ‘yes’ to yesterday, so I’d really like to say it today!
I am working hard at saying ‘yes’ more than ‘no.’ I know these days are so fleeting and before I know it they will be up and out of the nest, and I will be hoping for my phone to buzz with a shopping request. I wanted to get to the gym, grab a shower, work on a few piles of clutter, and buy some groceries. These are all good things, but they will be pushed aside today to spend time with my girls.
So often, decisions on how we spend our time is choosing between good, better and best. Oftentimes our good is set aside for another’s best. Today, my yes is to my girls, who are home in front of me, wanting to spend time with me. Today, this is the best ‘yes.’
