Hello and happy Friday! We had our first big snowfall of the season which resulted in our first snow day. Which landed a day after a teacher’s professional development day. Which landed directly after February break. Which landed right after Amalia was home sick for two days. Needless to say I was thrilled to have a few lovely hours to myself in front of my computer on Wednesday for the first time in two weeks.
I posted something about this on Instagram and immediately a follower messaged me that I come off as hating spending time with my kids. Well, Karen, you try spending 13 days straight with these little cuties and I guarantee you’ll feel the same! It made me realize, yet again, how moms are expected to want to be happily “mom-ing” 24/7 and take heat for wanting…. no needing… a break.
Anyway my three days back to work were great, productive and very exciting. I kicked off yet another big project for 2023 and feel like this is really just my year for work. Finally! So many fun things to come, you guys.
Have a great weekend!
