A Treat to Myself.

I have been doing too much and expecting too much out of myself. By Wednesday of last week, the walls were caving in. The house was a wreck. The kids were a wreck. The hubby's illness was a wreck. I was a wreck. In fact, that evening I suddenly felt so ill that I had to send one of my piano students home mid-lesson. I struggled through Thursday, and then Friday came. 

I'd really been looking forward to it, and I was not disappointed.

You see, on Friday my girls went to a very fun place where they got to be be princesses for four hours.

I promise that Aaliyah did NOT want a tiara.
Love these curls!

And I got to eat breakfast at Chickfila, grab a Starbucks java chip frap, and head to the hair salon, where I got a cut, highlights, and had my hair straightened for the first time in my 32 years. :)

Have no fear, the hair is back to curls again, but the girls are still on a princess-high, and I am still reaping the benefits of those four hours, in the middle of the day, where I took a little tiny break from Mommyhood.

(Even if I'm still doing too much, and even if my house is still a wreck, and even if I'm still pooped.)

Sara, you are so beautiful straight and curly! It was good to see N the other day. Praying for you guys in the midst of all of "it". We all have quite a lot of "it" and it is so sweet to meet here from time to time and be encouraged. God is good.
