Be careful what you wish for......

Posted by Robert and Monica Castillo

How many of us have wished for a week off. A week off of work, a week off of momma duty, cleaning, cooking... well I had that chance last week. My mom took my kids (thank YOU!) and I closed the daycare down. I told Rob that I would not be cleaning or cooking or even going to the grocery store. I was in seventh heaven... until about Tuesday. I had to get up and clean, I couldn't stand looking at dirty dishes and my floor needed a quick wipe down. Then on Wednesday I started missing my babies. By Thursday I was having a tough time with absolutely nothing to do. I decided to paint the hallway and entry way and then go to our first FireWives meeting. On Friday I was supposed to have the whole day to myself (rob was at work) and I was staring at the four walls, ready to pull my hair out, when I got a call from my mom. My mom needed me (she really didn't but we'll just go with that)! The kids needed me! I was in the car and headed down to the coast before you could blink an eye. I have never driven so fast. So now I know... we as moms have crazy days. Shoot, we have days that we wish we could just erase! But when all is said and done it fills amazing to be needed and missed and loved by my kids. Life is good... but my family is amazing!
