Today Was Fun Mommy!!
"Today was really fun Mommy!" were the last little words I heard utter out of Ava's mouth as she finally shut her eyes. It wasn't but a couple of weeks ago on a Monday morning that we were driving to school when she asked me why her friend Cole didn't have to go to school. I explained to her that Cole's mommy dosen't have to work. I saw the wheels in Ava's head turning as she was thinking and then she looked at me in the rear-view mirror and said "So everyday is the weekend for Cole." Just as she said those words "GUILT" begin to pour all over my body. I told Ava what great friends she had at school and how smart she was and reassured her everyday was not like the weekends for her friend. She quickly got over the fact that she has to go to school and her weekends are Saturday and Sunday. I quickly got over the fact that I have to work because we have yet to win the lottery!! SO...... today Ava got to have a weekend in the middle of the week. I was off of school and decided we would stay home and have a little fun. The Hardee Boys & The Oliver Kids all came over for a fall day of fun. Ava enjoyed running, playing hide & seek, riding the Barbie Jeep, laying around with her friends, eating snacks, and making a mess of the house. But once everyone went to bed I went in to kiss both girls goodnight and I actually thought to myself "Ava & Lilly today was really fun and Mommy loved being home with you too!"

Thank you for having us over and for letting us destroy your house. You know when the Hardee Boys are coming(watch out!). The boys had a great time and I enjoyed talking to you. I've missed that! I believe Cole is not the only one who has a crush on Ava! (I smelled cologne in the car on the way over.) Like your new background. Wish I could do pink with ribbons!
You are such a good friend and I've missed seeing you at work. We sure did have fun and I know Cole did not want to leave. He was exhausted from all of the playing. I had fun too.
It sounds like you had a great day! Don't feel guilty, staying at home is not an option for me either (unless I sell my house, car, and pretty much everything else). You are a great mom. I have such good role model moms to look up to. I read your blogs and take something away from each of you. Thanks!
