Surviving or Thriving

Since coming home from vacation, I have been in survival mode, only operating off of my "to-do" list.

Grocery shop.
Make freezer meals.
Make baby food.
Lessons.
Vacuum.
Laundry.
Fold.
Put away.
Bank.
Clean Bathroom.
Clean Kitchen.
Vacuum again.
More lessons.

D has totally been the fun, playful, parent.
I've just been trying to get by.

 Today, we took a couple hours to go to the park just down the street.
I am so glad we did.
 I didn't worry about all the things I "should've" been doing.
Instead, I just existed in that moment, in that space.
Loving my boy, my husband, my dog.
Enjoying and soaking in every minute of just us, the way we are right now.

I needed those couple of hours to remind myself of my priorities.
And to remind myself to not get so caught up in the "to do" lists, that I forget those who need to be loved.
