Sometimes, I get overwhelmed. Sometimes I feel like I have so much to do, and no time to do it…..that my life is go, go, go, go with no break. So then I decide to not go out on a Saturday night, or not have a date night with Jay, because that means I can cross things off my to-do list. But I started thinking lately – that’s ridiculous. I can think of SO many nights recently that Jay wanted to hang out or go do something, and I just flat out said “no, I don’t have time”. I realized that has to stop – I also realized my to-do list will NEVER go away, but it can wait. But sometimes, I really need to just put that list to the side and realize it will get done somehow, some way, but it doesn’t NEED to happen RIGHT NOW.
So that’s just what I did last night. Is my laundry basket spilling over with 5 loads of laundry that need to be washed? Yep. Is my sink full of dishes I haven’t gotten around to washing? Yep. Is my diswasher full so even if I WANTED to do my dishes, I’d have no where to put them? Yep. But instead of crossing more things off of my to-do list last night, I went out to dinner with my friends Sarah and Mary. And as we sat there for a 2 hour long dinner, drinking wine, talking about life, work and guys, I realized how lucky I am. I’m ashamed to say I sometimes forget that. So thanks Sarah and Mary, for making me remember how lucky I am (even though you probably didn’t even realize you were doing that!) – our dinner last night made me realize how lucky I am to have such amazing friends….life long friends that I love more than anything:) So here’s to not forgetting that, and taking a step back to enjoy life. Even if Jay did run out of clean shirts:)
Here is a picture of Sarah and I probably from back in 2007 with an old point and shoot HAH:
And MARY – I realized we have NO pictures together! And we have NO pictures with just the three of us! That will have to be corrected next time we get together:) Love you girls!
**EDITED TO ADD: Mary was able to find a picture of the three of us! Woohoo!
