Weekend Realization

This weekend I learned a couple of things:

* Sometimes you need to completely slow down, entirely to get better
* No is a very powerful word
* You can give too much of yourself and have nothing left for you
* No amount of snow will keep your children inside
* Seeing your birthday invitation makes your birthday party real
* I can cook, and it won't change the fact that my children still just want nuggets
* Sleeping more than 4 hours without waking up once, feels really good
* Not looking at the computer for 3 days means that you have a lot to do
* After the new year most people get to relax, while I still need to plan 3 birthdays each 2 weeks apart
* It's already the middle of January and my Christmas decorations are still up
* I have a husband, he does exist and I got to talk to him for more than 5 minutes
* Dishwashers are great but you still need to put the dishes in and turn it on
* "It's the BEST NIGHT EVER" whenever mom and dad both get to play with you
* Hot cocoa is just fancy for warm chocolate milk drink (or so I was told)
* My children love me so much that every 5 minutes they need to say "mom?"
* Crafts do not make themselves

Hope everyone had a great weekend like I did.
