But in the midst of it all, I took some time yesterday to upload and looked back through some pictures from our day 'off', and it hit me!! I know exactly why I have been feeling behind, and it makes perfect sense...
I traded my real trip to the grocery store for a trip to the pretend one... and man, did we fill our baskets!
I traded sorting laundry for learning about insects and dinosaur bones...
I traded cleaning the tubs and scrubbing the toilets for touching tornados and making things fly...
I traded sweeping, mopping, and dusting for pretending to be doctors and making funny faces...
And most of all I traded the need to keep everything nice, clean and tidy... because sometimes it's more fun to get dirty!
Sometimes all it takes is a little reminder to make you realize life is all about trade offs!! There is a reason why I chose to be behind this week, and I am so glad I made that choice!!

Love this...we went to the zoo on Thursday and at one point I thought about everything else I should've been doing, but wouldn't trade the memories we made for anything!!
ReplyDeleteIt was so good to run into you last night! I hope the race went good!!! I'm sure it felt like a breeze! You could jump in on the half with us! This week our long run was 6 which you did today. We do the long ones on Friday so next week (March 2) we're scheduled to run 7...let me know if you want to come!!
