I have been taking a mom-cation. This means that I have been doing the bare minimum to keep my children fed and clothed while working on other projects.
I haven't been doing homeschool. I've skipped helping them with chores most days. I haven't really been cooking all that much and I haven't scrubbed or bleached anything. I haven't been doing boundary training with Sven or teaching Carl to read. I have even tried to sneak out of story reading and song singing at bedtime.
It's been all right. My children are still alive. And, surprisingly, they are still (mostly) happy.
But I'm back. I'm ready to be a parent again and not just a babysitter. I'm ready to go on walks and supervise art projects. I'm ready to kiss boo-boos and custom cut peanut butter sandwiches. Wait, scratch that last one. I never did that in the first place.
Let's just say I'm back in the game.
