Read something funny and joyful.
Build a Lego creation with your son.
Listen to your teenager's favorite music.

Sit and play with your littlest's toys.
Drink a cup of tea, with each child.
Do something your kid loves, and you could care less about.
Do nothing that is related to school . . . even history! (. . . must make a note for myself on that one!)
Ditch your lesson plans.
Ignore the emails and texts, maybe even phone calls.
Just be mom, and remember the pure JOY found in being what God created you to be!
HAVE FUN!
“Life was about spending time together , about having the time to walk together holding hands, talking quietly as the sun goes down. It wasn't glamorous, but it was, in many ways, the best that life has to offer. Wasn't that how the old saying went? Who, on their deathbed, ever said they wished they had worked harder? Or spent less time enjoying a quiet afternoon? Or spent less time with their family?”
~ Nicholas Sparks, True Believer
