No Guilt

Posted on March 27, 2014 Written by Tonya

After I made lunch for Lucas and got him off to school, I didn’t do anything productive. Not a damn thing.

I didn’t walk the dog.

I didn’t unload the dish washer.

I didn’t change the sheets or even make the beds.

I didn’t tackle the laundry.

I didn’t take a shower (I did brush my teeth!).

I didn’t pick up toys or other misplaced items.

I didn’t make it to the grocery store. Or dry cleaner. Or bank. Or gas station.

I didn’t return any phone calls.

I didn’t make any appointments.

There was no TV watching.

There was no reading.

There was no lunching with friends.

There was no meal planning.

There was no guilt.

It wasn’t a productive day but it was a great day!

    I love those no-guilt kind of days! Look at your precious baby, oh my goodness she’s adorable.

    Yay! In ten years you won’t remember all those busy, dishes-laundry-errands days, but you will for sure remember the cuddle-with-Lola day.

    You did what matters – you rested, chilled out and hung out with your love!
    Love her smile.

    Those days of just you and baby are the sweetest. Everything else can wait.
