Before you read this and think I'm a horrible person let me first explain. .. I don't want to babysit my children because I want it to be short term and get paid. I just feel like the whole "babysitting" thing is amazing. When you babysit - you can completely and 100 percent focus on those children. You don't also need to cook, do dishes, laundry, cleaning, bills to pay, errands, or any grocery shopping. We are on fall break this week and wow it's been simple, calm, in the moment and peaceful. 100 percent being with my children and not worrying about anything else is seriously the best job in the world. I hope the boys look back on their childhood with happy thoughts - of course a lot of other things (love, fun, faith) but very little negative.
P.S. I recently had my first girls weekend since having kids. It was so complete rejuvenation. It was with my close friends from college and it is going to become a yearly tradition. Thankful for friends and husband for being so amazing while I had a weekend.
