Monday.

Monday mornings are invigorating. At the whisper of a new week, I sip my black tea and tackle my to-do list with gusto. And then, after hours of rushing around, Monday night inevitably arrives cloaked in disappointment. I haven't crossed off nearly as many items as I'd hoped, and it's kind of a let down.

But as I was bathing Liam tonight and feeling overwhelmed by all that this week holds, Shawn read me this incredibly timely quote and everything changed.

Yes. Yes. It's where so many Mondays and Tuesdays and Fridays find me. Trying, in vain, in vanity, to please everyone. It's ridiculous.

So tonight, I'm going to let the many emails sit unanswered in my inbox. I'm going to put down my paint brush and turn off my sewing machine. I'm going to be content with only the simplest tasks like eating and resting and loving on my guys. Oh, and I might watch this again. And again and again.


PS - I totally failed to announce the winner of last week's giveaway here on the blog: it's Charrise Newkirk! Yay Charrise! Your items are on their way.
