Dear Anne, read this tomorrow.

Dear Anne,

Somehow Abby knew last night you wanted to get a lot of rest.  She wanted a lot of cuddles instead.

It's ok.

Come back to this when you're tired, you have a long list of things to do and to pack, and you're tempted to be short with the kids.

It's ok.

Take a deep breath.  Have another sip of coffee.  

Enjoy them.  

Enjoy yourself.  

It will all get done, and if it isn't perfect, that's ok.

Because you are choosing to enjoy your kids and your day rather than being stressed.

It's more fun that way.  For everybody.

Love,

Anne
