Mama Needs a Refill

Something simple can be such an indulgent pleasure.

This past Monday the kids went back to school after a week off with snow days.

Monday was all about me. For six hours. The length of a school day.

After a yoga class, my long time college friend and I did the unspeakable, right in the middle of the day. A sunny day. So broad daylight was an understatement.

We went to a movie.

So decadent.

So self indulgent.

That night I lingered longer at the dinner table with my kids, held them closer at bed time and didn’t lose my temper.

What can you do in broad daylight for yourself while your kids are at school that will make you smile long into the evening and hold your children tighter?
