Snow Days

Oh glorious snow days!

If you haven't been following the news, Nebraska got a blizzard, well lets be honest, we got snow.  We are on our second snow day, and even though it is great having my babies home and we can stay in our jammies all day long, I think we all are craving a little routine.

Currently my children are watching television because my patience has run thin and I just need them to sit still and not make anymore messes for the next 30 minutes.  Even though I should be cleaning those said messes up, I decided to write a post and finish my second cup of coffee.  Its all about balance and keeping my sanity today.

Yesterday we completed our Valentine's cards and even made Audrey's Valentine box for school.  So today I will have to get some reading, speech practice, and some writing out of the kids.  I am sure there will be a couple rounds of Monopoly or Life to happen as well.  Yet if those things don't happen I am not going to beat myself up over it because we just need to embrace the day.

I think that is where this post is going.  I always feel I have to complete something to feel like I have had a productive day.  Even though this keeps me going, I think it is not necessarily healthy for me because some days we have to just be.  Be in the moment and if the dishes don't get done or that last item on the to do list is not completed, life is not going to end because of it.  There is always tomorrow to get those things done, and if not tomorrow the following day.  However this is coming from a person who feels a sense of accomplishment after checking a task off a to do list.  I am a work in progress and I will attempt to get better with not stressing out over the to do list, but until then I am just going to call today a good day because that is exactly what it is...a good day to be alive and love on my babies.
