We got back from the beach this afternoon. We had an awesome time, slept a lot (hallelujah!), had some laughs and had plenty of down time. It's true what they say, a break is a very good thing.
I found that even though the boys woke up from naps tantruming like crazy, I was a more patient, kind and loving mommy than I had been last week. And today I was able to meet a goal I set for myself at the beginning of the year. My goal was to have one day where I went to bed with no regrets. One day where I fell asleep knowing I was the BEST mommy I could be, all day long, no exceptions. And today was that day.
I feel amazing. I plan to aim for my goal again tomorrow. We'll see how it goes. Here's hoping I am able to keep my patience level up, my stress level down, and keep from overreacting.
We spent a casual afternoon at home, watching the Superbowl with the boys. Then we fed them dinner, I gave them baths and we read stories and put them to bed.

They snuggled in and after a few times going back in, they fell asleep.

I missed them so much. It was wonderful to have a fun family day with them before it's "back to the grind" tomorrow.
