Today, without any planning, I had a date with two girlfriends. Oh, and our six kids…. how could I forget?
We got together, completely spur of the moment, and played… laughed…. talked…. passed time during “that time of day” … the time that can often draaagggg on?
These weren’t just any girlfriends… this was special. This was the kind of afternoon where you could just sit and relax. Where you could confess insecurities, curse freely and hug upon entrance and exit. Where the love of children is sincere and shared among the six and the appreciation of the adult time is equally understood.
Girlfriends like these have the ability to refresh your spirit, give you stomach pains from laughter and remind you that you’re all in the same boat, just trying to stay afloat. Parenting isn’t easy, adult friendships can be tricky, life ebbs and flows…. but these afternoons are some of the high points.
I’m so grateful for these girls…. what an easy day for positivity and appreciation.

Oh yeah…. and a pretty cool delivery today, too. You wouldn’t believe the smiles!
The little things, each day… if each person just took the time, it could change the world.
Not to mention, it felt great!
