Except I played two hours of "where's Grace" and Where's Hope" with the girls. The laundry went unfolded, the toys are still on the floor, the cracker crumbs from this afternoon still lay in a pile. But I got to watch my toddler put a blanket over her head and yell "where's Me?" while my infant pulled it off and toddler then yelled "There's Me!" I got to hear my infant giggle repeatedly while my toddler did it to her. I held them both in the rocking chair and rocked to our hearts content. We built towers out of blocks. We laughed at the dak rats in the yard. We did nothing productive...and yet, I feel like today was the first day in a very, very long time that something got accomplished. I reconnected with my girls. And we're all happier for it.
I've been so stressed about doing this all myself. Dh has been gone for over two months now and it will still be at least another 6 weeks before he returns.
I'm overwhelmed with keeping up the house and the laundry and the groceries and cooking and tandem nursing and dealing with ds' moods over his dad being gone and trying to gd when I'm feeling so exhausted I want to scream and meeting all their needs all by myself....and today, I said to hell with it. I'm not going to worry about any of that. And look at us, we're all in good moods. I didnt' even cook dinner, I stopped at a 
fast food restaurant for dinner.
Now, if I can just keep this feeling for a while, instead of letting myself get caught back up in the worries and stresses of the day to day stuff....
Thanks for letting me share.........
